From http://www.nosferatumovie.com/:
Nosferatu, a 1922 silent masterpiece by German filmmaker F. W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Graf Orlok (Dracula), is "the earliest surviving screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula novel and has had a long and dangerous life of its own. Almost destroyed by Stoker's widow because of copyright infringement, this film has outlasted many others of the silent era. There are many new releases of Nosferatu and all this goes to show that, 'You can't keep a good vampire down.'"

Mathias Rehfeldt is an exchange student from the College for Church Music in Rottenburg, Germany where he studies organ improvisation with organist Peter Böttinger (KMD - church music directorship). Rehfeldt has taken improvisation courses with German organist Ingo Bredenbach as well as former Vienna Cathedral Organist Peter Planyavsky and is studying composition at Valparaiso University for the 2010 fall semester.

  • Wow, fabulous... veery impressive! The awesome organ playing works perfect as an  addition to the events in Murnau's classic. Hats off to Mathias Rehfeldt's brilliant achievement !!!

  • @organgoesheavy Indeed, around that time.

  • @Trompetosaurus I think Master Rehfeldt could be Your father. He is a real Master at the organ.

    Mein Kompliment an den Meister an der Orgel. Er hat einen genialen Job gemacht!

  • @DGneoseeker1

    Surely You mean 0:22:47. There begins the snarring pedalsound. It is really fantastic organ-stuff!

  • Whoa, the bit around 0.22.00 is some of the best pipe organ material I have ever heard!

  • AWESOME :D
