Max Reger Introduktion und Passacaglia d moll

[windrac]

Excellent interpretation! This is one of the best recitals of this piece I have ever heard, and played on such a wonderful organ! I would love to get in there and play it myself! Excellent job!

[ronanmurray]

@windrac Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it.

[christianvs1]

Spectacular!! Thanks!! :) However, do keep the tempo steady throughout and the passage work neat and clean. I know how exciting it gets as the variations unfurl, but, do keep it all controlled. Well done mate! :)

Harry Potter registriert....offensichtlich

The Catholic Church uses souls to power their organs. That's why they collect 'em. But it's worth it! Sounds great.

[Sword1479]

@bloodynoes Lol, I'm a Christian and found this hilarious

[Silverdaddy101]

Superb playing. Bravo .

I can't help thinking, it must be difficult hearing the organ from the organists position, buried in and under the organ like that.

[pepperfan2]

Nice music :3:3 luuv it, sounds so pretty in my ears! 10/10!

[mlodyorganista]

Thats cool... :D

[PatrickBlak]

Love this piece by Reger,esp the clever modulation at the end . Stood at attention one night last year in my bedroom in the dark for an hour listening to repeats by another organist, while playing various fantasies in my head. Wonderful performance Mr Murray

[peteacher52]

Superb! The kindest compliment I can pay you is to say that your performance reminded me of that given by the great Piet Kee at the St Bavo, Haarlem organ. Your interpretation was remarkably similar in tempo and sensitivity. Greetings from NZ.

[ronanmurray]

@peteacher52 Thank you so much.

[birdandthe]

always great to hear reger, happily his compositions have had something of a rennaisance since digital technology arrived, wheras in te in the l.p era the very quiet bits would be accompanied by lp crackle and rumble

[3NUNS]

too complicated for a simple JSBachian like me !

[robertgift]

Complication is one of the things I love of Reger.

The firstime I played this on a huge cathedral organ, my friends standing around the console said it sent chills up their spines.

Wait 'till you hear the great Chorale Fantasies and Fugues of Reger.

Especially love Wachet Auf, Wie schon leucht, BACH, 135b fugue, and the Symphonic Fantasy and Fugue.

Best to have the music to follow along.

[maxsnafu]

@robertgift Kudos to you for liking the 135b fugue! Unquestionably one of Reger's finest double fugues.

[Streetcar1743]

This reminds me of some of Bach's works.

[monoamiga]

Great performance :)

Greentings to you and your assistant ;)

Pozdro dla Krzysia Wasilewskiego :P

[robertgift]

Nice performance!

Thank you.

This is NOT easy.

First Reger I memorized. (ALL Reger should be.)

Love how you used the wonderful live acoustics.

But disliked disconnected pedal notes when it happened. Except for phrasing, they should be tied together.

Wish an organist had done the video.

But was nice seeing the pedal and later pedal and manuals in one view.

32' Principal and Bombarde but no 32' Bourdon?

Don't cut off recording before sound ceases. Let's hear the applause.

This is something that reminds me about the true beauty of the organ, something I seem to have forgotten. Thank you Mr Murry for sharing this inspirational moment.

[ronanmurray]

You're very kind. Thank you.

[advisorC101]

And you're exceptionally skilled!

[latribe]

LOVELY! Big piece on BIG organ. WOW! Superb - fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this.

[ronanmurray]

Thank you so much!

[Fawkes9]

Mmm, this is one of Reger's easiest pieces ;))

Nicely played, though.

[advisorC101]

Is it really?

[Fawkes9]

Yep. I'm plying it in my second year of organ playing (having a solid piano background, though), so it's not that hard.

Have you heard "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern"?

[advisorC101]

No I haven't. Who wrote it?

[Fawkes9]

Reger

[Ophicleide4]

I like it.

[DesireeDeFete]

Great Job! The pedal division is a rumble on this baby!

[ronanmurray]

Thanks! It's quite something at the console!
