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

Here is the new video of me playing the Myra Hess arrangement of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. The sound is slightly improved (although not much!) and the tempo has been upped slightly. It's slightly more accurate and has a much better sense of line than the older one. Keep an ear out for where the melody is as it keeps switching hands!

And for the record...yes, I am wearing a dressing gown! I was having a bit of a lazy day so I thought, why not!

COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

both vids are great man!

but why do you call a bathrobe a dressing gown?

[benjaminlathbury]

Lol! Difference in country I guess. I'm assuming you're American? I'm English. Just like curtains and drapes or pavement and sidewalk.

Cheers for the comments though man!

I'm sure you've read enough remarks about your performance. I'd like to compliment the sound of your piano!

Aurther Dent plays piano ! ( if you have not read hitchikers guide to the galaxy you wont understand that )

This was very nicely done! I only discovered the Hess arrangement of this piece a short time ago and am finding it much more difficult than it sounds. You really did it justice.

[Jashap8441]

this is really well done. just a quick question -- in measure 9, do you play every note hess transcribes? in the bass clef she's got a super low a G, a low G, and a B, and in the treble clef she's got a D, G, B, and high G, and as I've been trying to learn it just seems like it's impossible to hit all of those and still play in time and I couldn't quite make out what you were doing in the video. Thanks man

Merry Christmas 2010 from Canada :)

Myra would be thrilled! Beautiful job on the legato...which takes some fancy finger acrobatics. I like the effect of the mirror in the background...also the dressing gown. It adds a touch of flair.

[zz7dima]
