Sowerby - Carillon (Jens Korndoerfer, Organ)

[@timesfire]

One of my all-time favorite organ compositions. Beautifully played. Thank you for this! It always quiets my soul.

SPLENDIDA performance!! Grazie!!

Wow Jens, I haven't played this piece is over sixty years. My mother, who unfailingly supported me and my music, just loved to hear the chimes and celesta. I however hated including percussion stops in my early recitals. My personal baggage has caused me to ignore and reject this lovely piece. Thank you for playing it so beautifully and causing me to change my mind.

Dear Jens ! I love this piece so much ! Started to study it

Absolutely beautiful, masterfully perfect take on an American classic piece. I keep returning to hear this again and again for inspiration

[@JensKorndoerfer]

Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

[@joespeciale5875]

A wonderfully beautiful rendition, unsurpassed by any other I have heard. Thank you, Mr. Korndoerfer!

[@JensKorndoerfer]

Many thanks!

Perfectly done, Jens ... Dr. Leo definitely would have approved!

[@JensKorndoerfer]

Thanks, Geoffrey!

[@FJCrociata]

I agree! Are you the Geoffrey Simon who once conducted the Albany (NY) Symphony in Leo's Symphony No 2?

I discovered this piece yesterday and was smitten. I printed up a copy and started playing it on my home 3/29 Kimball pipe organ and am completely living in heaven. Now I listen to your performance and am even more inspired to practice it. Well done. Sowerby's Pageant is off the chart difficult but if you have the footwork, I think you would do it justice. Bravo, sir!

Thanks, Dave!

Jens (and Richard)...do you know Leo's piece, Madrigal, of about the same vintage as Carillon, Comes Autumn Time and Requiescat? It would sound splendid on this instrument and, finally, the time is right for Leo's music.

[@JensKorndoerfer]

Hi FJ, no, I do not know the Madrigal, but I will look into it - many thanks for the suggestion!
