Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring - Myra Hess Arangement

Even though the video response is (in my opinion) the better of the two versions of this that I have up, this has generated nearly 50,000 views...something I'm unbelievably proud and thankful for! As such, I'm reopening the comments box so feel free to write what you think, but bear in mind the other version is also there.

I'm considering uploading another version some time soon so watch this space...

Well done Ben. Anyone who succeeds in playing this as you have is pretty darn good.

[benjaminlathbury]

Thanks for saying so :-)

If I ever got round to it, I'll upload a new version of it with better sound quality, less note slips and slightly quicker! Watch this space!!!

Disappointed you apparently refused my video comment on this. Oh well.

Bye.

[benjaminlathbury]

Apologies my friend. I haven't been paying attention to my youtube mail recently...video response has been posted. I shall comment on your video in due time.

[benjaminlathbury]

Thankyou to everyone for all the lovely comments. I am planning today to upload a new version (hopefully better sound quality, different piano and slightly quicker) so stay tuned!

This is such an insanely beautiful song. Thank you so much for the amazing performance.

That's the same version from The End of Evangelion, isn't it? (best version ever)

This guy rocks

[singmeanythingx]

great job!

but make sure the melody stands out a bit more than the accompaniment at times--ie, when the melody is in the LH, try making RH softer and vice versa.

Good Job.!! :]

Im playing this song at a concert.

And i cant wait till the world heres it.

Its a really lovely and peaceful song.

Ever so peaceful. Like your adagio tempo. Ever such an encouragement to see your video alongside giants such as Myra and Mr. Weissenberg. Cheers. Keep it up.

I love this piece i am finishing a concert arrangment of jesu joy of mans desire. great job!

[dumbstep]

very nice, you played awesome, and this arrangement by Myra Hess is absolutely beautifull, the firs time i listened was in the evangelion film, the end of evangelion, and since then i'm in love with this song, i don't believe too much in jesus, but this songs fill my heart with pure joy. Thanks again Bach, and Myra, and of course benjamin for uploading this video
