First I listened to Ben Goldstein perform the Chaconne while reading the article, and it put tears in my eyes (The article or the recording or both, I’m not sure). Then I tried to listen to the recording of Bell’s performance and it was so jarring and upsetting that I had to turn it off. I should find some recordings of Bell in a studio.
