King of Prussia, PA – Theodore Presser Company is pleased to provide a new transcription of the Johann Sebastian Bach Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor (orig. Violin), BWV 1004 (114-41632 – Score – $9.50) by Denis Bouriakov and William Bennett for solo flute. Bouriakov has often appropriated music of other instruments for the flute, thereby expanding the available repertoire. The Chaconne, originally for solo violin, is a favorite that he often performs and had included on his first solo CD, Bach, Sibelius, Saint-Saëns. Bouriakov performs his arrangement, made in conjunction with teacher and collaborator William Bennett, in a two-part YouTube presentation.
The Chaconne is available now through Theodore Presser Company or your favorite music retailer.
Denis Bouriakov has been Principal Flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra since 2009 and has won numerous prizes at some of the world's most prestigious international competitions (including Jean-Pierre Rampal, Munich ARD and Kobe). He has made several recordings, and his first solo CD album, which was released in 2009, includes the world's premiere recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto on the flute, along with his own transcription of the Saint-Saëns Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso, also published by Theodore Presser Company. He has been very active as soloist, orchestral player and teacher and his engagements have taken him to Greece, Iceland, USA, Japan, Korea, UK, and Lithuania.
