Vaughan Williams - Rhosymedre (Jens Korndörfer, Organ)

[@Valleyboy3141]

Beautifully played. My late (welsh) father used to play this splendidly in both weddings and funerals! This performance brought a tear to my eye.

Ohhh... 😪

Wonderful performance. Wish there was a camera angle for the pedals as well!

I have heard Jens in concert and he is amazing. The variety of registrations he uses is so unique.

[@JensKorndoerfer]

Thanks so much!!

I'm playing the same music for my concert tomorrow cheers

[@JensKorndoerfer]

It's a gorgeous piece! Good luck with your concert :)

[@sashineb.2114]

That's one of my favourite pieces. Thank you very much.

[@JensKorndoerfer]

You are very welcome :)

... based on a hymn composed by a Welsh priest! I'm obsessed with this now, and practice it every day.

Loving this registration.

Thanks :)

Would you be willing to let us use this for our online worship service at St. Mark's UMC in Tucson? It's beautiful and our organist is recovering from surgery for a couple weeks. I will check the copyright on the piece as well.

Hello Elizabeth, happy to help, can you email me at [e-mail]?

[@joelfenner]

Jens, what stops did you assign to these manuals? Very subtle, very evocative voicing choices. I'm accustomed to this piece being played with very incisive voices (often flutes), which is nowhere near as effective as your election of what sound like an appropriately emphatic use of string voices, but I can't tell much beyond that.

[@JensKorndoerfer]

I wish I could tell you, but I don't remember exactly...it's a combination of stops from the ten divisions throughout the piece, which creates a truly magical mix :)

[@joelfenner]

@@JensKorndoerfer I appreciate you taking the time to reply anyway. Whatever the subtleties were, it was a brilliant set of choices on your part! This is now my "gold standard" performance.
