Beautiful dramatic setting of this emotional choral! Krebs is one of Ausra’s favorite composers. I understand why! Bravo!

[@MarcusReeves]

I really appreciated the choice of organ and registration for this performance, which beautifully highlights Krebs’ gentle chromaticism. Lovely phrasing and articulation too. Thank you.

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, Markus. Yes, Krebs was clearly inspired by JSB with the chromatic parts.

Hello Ralph, a beautiful piece by J.L. Krebs. I am very happy to hear this one. I just realized it's been 9 years since I last played it. It's an incredibly intense piece, that's how I feel about it. Thanks very much!

[@RalphLooij]

Yes, it's certainly a very fine piece. Time to play it again ;)

[@grahamtwist]

Sublimely beautiful, Ralph! Your performance is just exquisite and your registration choices make the music all the more hauntingly melancholic. B R A V O !

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, Graham!

[@marijnvalk]

Prachtig gespeeld met een wonderschone registratie!

[@RalphLooij]

Dank, Marijn!

I appreciated your performance of this masterfully composed chorale prelude which I had not heard before. The accompaniment is quite a wonderful composition in itself. The plaintive Vox gives a unique colouration to the chorale melody. It is certainly unusual to hear one capable of being used alone without another 8 foot.

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, Colin!

[@AprilClaytonflute]

What an interesting organ sound! Interesting chorale prelude as well. 🙂 Great work!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, April!

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

Woohooo! So close to my second most favorite organ ( Maybe third ) Nice Ralph. Registration well though tout as always. Pacing and listening to the music top notch. Thanks for sharing.

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks for listening! This is a gem of an organ indeed, hopefully the bigger brother of the same church will be soon available for Hauptwerk soon.

[@nils-olekrafft1769]

I didn't know this choral prelude. It has a very touching bitter sweet atmosphere.

[@RalphLooij]

I'm surprised you didn't know it, Nils-Ole. You should look into it!

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

Even before I listened to your rendition I had a feeling you would use this weeping Vox Humana stop. Bravissimo Ralph!

[@RalphLooij]

I simply can't avoid that beautiful stop, even when the Vox isn't available on the small Riepp anymore.

[@stephenkolarac5305]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, Stephen!
