Sonata in C Minor (The 94th Psalm) by Julius Reubke - Nathan Laube, organ

Nathan Laube, Assistant Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, performs Julius Reubke’s colossal sonata in four movements. Each movement is inspired by texts from the 94th Psalm. The performance was recorded live at the 2015 Mid-Atlantic Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists in Pittsburgh at St. Paul Roman Catholic Cathedral. Laube played the cathedral’s 97-rank mechanical action organ installed by Rudolf von Beckerath in 1962.

I am honored to have served as co-chair of the Program Committee for this convention. This video does a fantastic job of capturing the audio and video, but the one thing it cannot fully convey is the electricity in the room during this performance. A night to remember, for sure!

Excellent camera work esp the one showing the performer with the nave stretching out behind him. A definite Salicional Award for cinematography and sound, never mind the award for choreography to Nathan.

Cool. I got to play this organ once. A cousin of mine was a priest stationed at the Cathedral, I think it was in the late 70's or early 80's. The same builder put an organ in at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, where I live now.
