James Kennerley plays Julius Reubke: Sonata on the 94th Psalm
Sounds like an old silent movie!
This Gloria after all of Lent not hearing it, accompanied by the triumphant ringing of the bells as we commemorate Our Lord making Himself available to us, by instituting the Blessed Sacrament… and remembering all of this, knowing that it is just before Good Friday when Jesus is about to suffer so heavily for our redemption… it moves me to tears every time I hear it.
Organtastic ❤❤❤❤
Now THAT is a buttload of keys....
Does he p-lay the bass parts with his feet? Sure appears to.
Why does this remind me of being in a seaside resort in the 70s in England 😂😂😂
Charles Wuorinen is the biggest nothing in music - Guys like him become known specifically because of other nothings who think they're something.
One wonders, then, why on earth you clicked on this video and then even felt the need to comment about nothing at all. Did someone deliberately try and harm you by posting this video?
@@AdamTorkelson - Go fuck yourself. My opinion is 100% valid - the dude is a total nothing in the world of music.
The Stars and Stripes socks made the entire video
Looks like he was having fun with this outstnding performance. I love the socks, too!
Gorgeous!
And now, for something completely different
Absolutely beautiful!
I just found this video. St. Ignatius of Antioch was my church for many years. This church changed my life. Remembering Hal Chaney and Mr. Wuorinen. God bless them.
One of the best versions of this song
OMG this piece brings me to my knees. I like rock, I like a lot of hard rock/metal, my musical interests span a wide scope. But if I ever had to pick just one (1) all time favorite piece of music, this piece floors me every time!! Julius, in a short life span, you were a freaking genius!
A great rendition of this classic masterpiece on the mighty pipe organ.
Stars & stripes socks, love it..!
Truly stunning. Wish it was written down.......
It's the bagpipes stupid! The ultimate source of this type of music is the bagpipes - you can hear it in the rhythmns -going back to the siciliana and the pastorale and eventually to ancient Sicily with the Sicilian shepherds playing their music as they watched their flocks on the Sicilian hill tops.
May the forth be with... all
This fantastic! Your technique is incredible. That organ has a lovely orchestral sound.
I'm a massive Scott Joplin fan. 😁
Mr Joplin would be over the moon with this superb rendition,brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable!
Excellent!!
I wish I knew others to share this with. Really is beautiful.
Exceptional!
NU hay audio
Wonderful ❤
First time hearing on an organ you played it beautifully Thank you.
Lovely performance. Hats off to talented organists everywhere, and of course this is a beautiful instrument to play it on. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the chamber.
Beautiful! The only classical work that makes me laugh.
A brilliant performance ,one of the best ,Thank you James. from England.
Bach would have been so pleased with this wonderful performance, great musicality the work just spoke and was alive with breath ,and wonderful tempo, registration thank you so much James ,from England Nr Cambridge Jesus College .
Brilliant performance James, musicality in every dimension spot on, the words of the Psalm brought to life Thank you so much for such a brilliant performance off one of the giants of the organ world. , God Bless you in your service of music ,
Bravo😊
I enjoy this every year.
Organists have such coordination. Playing the organ is like playing a piano, driving a car and piloting a plane, all at the same time!
Back for my annual visit to this recording! Breathtaking
Well played.
Excellent playing and a very pleasing sound from this mighty instrument. Greetings from the UK!
Very nice.
Very nice.
Excellent performance.
Excellent performance. I love your socks.
Bravo. My favorite Prelude and Fugue to play. Great registrations, tempi, etc...!
Music by my favorite composer, beautifully performed. I hope that you will issue many more videos with content from the greatest composers of music for the pipe organ. I have watched your videos from the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in NYC. Dazzling improvisations. Thank you!
Way to go, James!!👏👏🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
this is without a doubt the best version of this song I have ever found. The improvisation interlude is nothing short of heaven. Magnificent performance, simply magnificent.
This man has not only the talent, but the heart for this piece. He makes it sing and sail like no other player I've heard. Just beautiful 🏆🎹👏 Would be wonderful to hear in person.
The best performance of this I've heard. Not mechanical at all, as though hanging on for dear life 'til the end, no (which would be understandable with this piece). No. Instead, masterful articulatuon and nuance, always singing the melody, natural, artful dynamics, making beautiful sense of the whole thing. Beautiful 🏆🎹👏
