This is the best performance of Jesus bleibet meine Freude I've ever heard of... Do you know if this performance is in any of the CDs? I'd love to buy it if there's one.

perfect! wish i was there!

[AdmRomulus]

Outstanding performance! You can hardly get a better tempo than that, and the acoustics and organ are just perfect.

[ChiZ712]

I keep watching this video. this is without a doubt the most perfect stops I've ever heard for a piece, along with your version of sheep may graze safely. you and the organ are one mr twillert! this is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written, and this is, imo, the greatest rendition ever.

[drsatjak]

I think this is the best interpretation of "Jesus joy of man's desiring". Thank you very much.

[nelos1987]

volgens mij een heel ingewikkeld stuk als ik het zo zie! maar wel ontzettend mooi met de vox humana!

[alfredifatall]

Yes, this is truely one of the best versions around! Many play this tune way too slowly. The tempo and accentuations here are perfect, thank you so much for sharing! Now a question; is it possible to obtain the score? The video says you composed the arrangements. What is the original setting/arrangement of this piece? Thanks for answering!

[DirtyKuffarPig]

Lovely stuff the best tune I've ever heard

[diapason93]

Excellent choice of stops. The Nasard and the Flute just give the right sound, and I love the Vox Humana on that organ. Nice articulation, too.
