This piece of music is played so incredibly well it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for recording it on this organ and in this magnificent cathedral.There are no adjectives left to justify your performance. I would have loved to have heard you playing it in person. I finally was able to visit the Washington National Cathedral a couple of months ago on a trip down from Canada. When I left I was amazed at how such a marvelous house of prayer could ever have been created . To me, it is the Episcopal Church's greatest legacy. I hope it stands for a thousand years.
I hope it will eventually make a wonderful Catholic cathedral.....which it would have been anyway were it not for an accident of history: the syphilitic Henry VIII
Now this is Elgar at his finest, I wish elgar wrote his Nimrod originally for organ, because it gains another sense of musical bliss one that is calm and serene.
I think you'll find it was originally written for the organ. He was an organist and choirmaster at the time so it's highly likely. That is how I first heard it played
Very convincing rendition, dignified in its pace and coloration, even the difficult technical task of ending with a pianissimo on an organ. No question that the organ is the better of the keyboard instruments than the piano for this piece.
You are welcome. What frame of mind brings you to listen to this music on New Year's Day? I can recommend one of the best orchestral interpretations of the Enigma Variations, particularly Nimrod at 12:57", performed by the ST. Olav's Orchestra under the conductor Steven Amundsen: czcams.com/video/thB_fxtmAR8/video.html @@stylusfantasticus
When I saw the time taken at over 6 mins. my first thought was 'Well, when God made time, he made plenty of it'. It is an acceptable time at approaching the 4 mins. I played it at about that time, only because I was completely overcome by the tune. This is MAGNIFICO. What a beautiful smooth line on the pedals, and like heepitfull wrote a seamless use of stops. The whole performance is so beautiful. As we say in Ireland, "Go raibh mile maith agat stylusfantasticus" (a thousand thanks to you stylusfantasticus) for this great piece.
As a cathedral-loving Anglo-Scot, I consider Washington's Episcopalian Cathedral to be one of the glories of the United States. Thank you for these superb photographs of this wonderful building. The organ music was perfect, too.
The organists emotion and expression is stunning on this beautiful organ. His registrations and timing are perfect in my opinion. It tugs at you! Thanks for this. Best on CZcams in my opinion of this piece.
The best organ rendition of this emotional piece of music I have ever heard. My only regret is not seeing the organist at the keyboards. BTW how does anyone down vote this incredible masterpiece of organ mastery??? I don't understand it.
Well, for one thing the organ's not exactly in tune. Not say Ferreyra could do anything about it (it would take several maintenance techs - yes, I know they're called curators - several weeks to tune all 189 ranks) and his performance was quite good, but that could be a reason. I certainly won't be #9 to down-vote it.
Sir, I have heard your recording of this sound track so many times in the past 2 years. It is full of grace and really a gift from god. I was once thinking: the architect of the church, the composer, and the organist have come from different spaces of time and performed this marvellous piece together. I am very lucky to hear it. Thank you!
This piece of Music...is for all my comrades who paid the ultimate price for a better world....It makes me humble and it represent all that is beautiful and worth fighting for here In life...thanks to E. Edgar for creating this.
The most beautiful performance of this piece i've ever heard! Perfect tempo. Totally Awesome! Fantastic video too. To hear this is reason enough to go on living. Thank you so much for this magnificent gift!
I consider this performance as definitive. It is the best interpretation of Nimrod I ever heard. If Virgil Fox ever performed Nimrod I would have to take this performance over any organ Virgil ever performed on, and his performance. There is no comparison. Even God cries at this.
Of all the Music composed by Sir Edward Elgar this, in my opinion has to be the best! An excellent rendition and very accurately timed & played. By far the best I have ever heard!
As a member of The Navy Band, Washington DC I had many opportunities to play in the National Cathedral and to play our National Anthem. While doing a concert for the Czechosvakian Embassy I had the opportunity to sit under those magnificent pipes as it was playing our National Anthem. It was so moving that I couldn't speak afterward.
It's like the heaven opened up in its magnificence. I'm just in pure awe, extremely spellbounded from start to finish. Thanks to you, the most grandeur version was created & never to be forgotten hopefully...
Very nice. This piece was used on the opening of the memorial concert in Oslo, Norway, after the terror attack 2011. This piece is calm and performed very well!
I have heard this in several quite large buildings on large organs, but this is the quintessential recording. Other renditions become abrupt when the organ builds. This is a seamless with subtle additions of stops. Excellent use of reeds without blare, and the pedal around 5:15 is perfect. It could actually be felt on my smaller computer speakers (It has been over a decade since I was last in the cathedral, and I don't remember that effect, but that could have been the organist then.)
Yes!!! That pedal at 5:16!!! I rear it in the loudest volume possible. It's like I can fell it from inside of me. Always when I rear this rendition and it gets to the 5:14 to 5:19 part, I keep returning 10 seconds to rear it again and again. Is it another stop he releases or is it just another note? Could someone clarify to me? Because or really sound like he is adding sound there. Mr. Rafael's version is the only one in which I heard that part played like that.
From the first notes played by this very talented musician, one knows that this is The 210 Rank Aeolian Skinner Pipe Organ of Washington National Cathedral. The "principal chorus " is very warm and unique.
I agree with heepitfull. This is the absolute best interpretation & registration ever. Smooth progressions working so well, so musical and not a hint of pretense. And a Tempo that allows the nuances of the music to emerge into a marvelous conclusion. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recording with us.
Being an organist myself, I prefer this recording over any others I have heard; I used to play the tuba in the band when I was younger, so I really liked it when the 32' pedal came on, making this the best recording ever, in my opinion.
Hi Rafael, my name is also Rafael, and I'm from Brasil. :-D The first time I heard your version I had mixed feelings about it, perhaps because I was used to Diane Bish's version, which I love. But after hearing your rendition I Fellini in love with it and listened many times now. So beautiful and smooth sound yet powerful at the same time. I wish I could be there when you played it to rear those 32" better. Congrats from a young organ lover!
+Rafael Braga Don't set your standards by Bish. There are other organists who are far better and can perform much more music. She likes to copy, she is not an innovator. May your career be successful. Practice makes perfect. Memorize your music and then play it from the heart. Play all music with feeling. It is not just little marks on paper. Good luck to you. We are waiting tohear your interpretation of great music.
+stylusfantasticus I don't normally make disparaging comments about a musician's playing to another who plays the same instrument, but you make Bish sound like an amateur. But maybe it was the organ itself that was at fault. I wonder how she would sound playing this one?
+Everett Cox BTW I am 72 years old but still have much of my hearing intact. I sang bass in my school choir and played tuba in the band so low frequencies are my favorite sounds. The low octaves and harmonies you played just thrilled me to my very bones. And the smoothness Mein Gott what incredible smoothness as you transitioned from one chord to the next!! Don't listen to Daddyclive your tempo was exactly right!!
Diane Bish has reduced this lovely work to a mere old chestnut. She is truly the "Porter Wagoner" of organists- minimally talented and gaudily dressed. I don't consider her as much an artist as I do as a hack.
You are to be commended for the sensitivity of the video accompanying this performance. So often on CZcams one must look away from over-busy editing full of cuts, panning and zooming. The video here well suits the performance! Thank you!
Hi Rafael! This is your former student Norman! What an exquisite, sensitive rendition of Nimrod! Breathtaking and moving - thank you!I am playing it on October 4 at my recital. Hope to hear from you!
+Norman Mcfarlane Great to hear from you !!! I remember always our meetings for making music at your church. Please let me know if you still have the same e mail address. Please do it via private message in youtube. A hug !
Absolutely the best registered version of Nimrod I have come across. The most subtle build-up from delightful strings - not too keen sounding - to the wonderful Skinner chorus. Even as an Englishman I'm happy to admit that this instrument is right up there among the best ;-)
Thanks Patrick for your comment. Concerning your question : I worked over an arrangment made by W.H.Harris ( Ed. Novello & Company, Limited, 1932) for the organ. I took that score just as a guide. Regards!

Yes this is an amazing performance of this piece . May i for Elgar , organ , and music fans strongly recomend a performance on You Tube of Elgar's Imperial March played by Carlo Curley on the organ of St.Mary Redcliffe in Bristol . Finally thankyou to the organist here .
This is really lovely. Can you tell me whose organ transcription this is, and if the sheet music is available? I'm doing an organ recital in the fall and I would love to play it.
I remember bursting into tears when this was played at Prince Philip's funeral outside Windsor Castle. The building and its architecture are beautiful, but I have to wonder how it can be a National Cathedral when the Constitution forbids the establishment of a national Church, meaning there is not an archbishop or Church that can have a seat (cathedra) here. It makes no sense to me.
I'm not a very religious person but this cathedral is inspirational. The organist is extremely accomplished and is emulating a sixty-strong multiple section orchestra. I find this very inspirational although it seems to be an advertisement for the cathedral. It is far more than that. It is breathtaking.

He doesn't "bring the organ down" as well as others. czcams.com/video/XMLYRT_I0Bo/video.html
Because he plays it too slow and the rubato is too obvious.

Thank you ! And I´m very glad that now you are starting in love with the organ mixtures.

The Pedal Division is unique in all the world.
Remarkable! Wonderful pacing. Grand as it should be.

Clearly, you play from the heart!
Beautiful playing!
Beautifully paced, and delivered with correct base sound
Beautiful !

Yes. This rendition is what I grew up with and the videographer complimented Elgar, soloist and cathedral perfectly!
