Wonderful performance on a spectacular organ! I played this on my senior organ recital. It was a lot of work to learn but once I got it under my fingers and feet it just rolled along nicely.

Never thought I'd hear a performance of this work that didn't drown in pious murk -- Rosalinde Haas excepted, of course -- and your performance is even sharper/clearer/cleaner than hers! Bravo!

Great playing! Does the pedal division just use manual stops, or are there dedicated pedal stops?
@OttobeurenKaiser Жыл бұрын
Thank you, James! Yes, the pedal division just uses the manual stops, although there is only one lever that engages the 16' in the pedal.

Quite a while ago I saved both versions of Karl Richter's performance of this because you were the only one who posted them on KZbin. I liked it so much I bought a set of Richter's cds. Your rendition is as close to Richter as I have heard. Best wishes to you and your career. The great Karl Richter would be very proud of you indeed.

This one could only play Harry Grodberg, the Russian Jew. Karl Richter did it a bit like him but nobody of us would cry. Grodberg once recorded Pasacalia but not as good as he could, and he didn't include it in his LPs. I listened it in 1979 in Leningrad. If you don't know Grodberg, try "Choral preludes" from 9:34 -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/fonQfKaDi6yNe6s and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TKoYSep7iGps0

To the weary soul, tired from a life's work, this song conveys the longing for simple peace and rest that is death. The worn-out body is discarded and the weary soul goes back to the only home it has ever known; the place we call Heaven.

@@OttobeurenKaiser Okay thanks! Interesting. I was reading part of this recently (core.ac.uk/download/pdf/44289418.pdf) and apparently one manuscript lists that variation as "à 2 Clav. è Ped." I did not know about this either. The author had "little doubt" about an implied pedal part, but it seemed a little subjective. Nonetheless, figured I would ask!
