- Jesu, Joy of Man‘s Desiring piano version (Transcr. by Hess) BWV 147, Vasylyna Hrynevych

J.S. Bach/ „,Jesus bleibet meine Freude“ from Cantata BWV 147 Piano: Vasylyna Hrynevych Myra Hess first heard the work conducted by Dr. (later Sir) Hugh Allen at a rehearsal for a Bach Festival given in April 1920 by the Bach Choir of London. Its beauty impressed her so deeply that on returning home she played it over and over again from her Bachgesellschaft full-score. Soon she felt impelled to share this extemporary arrangement with her friends, and occasionally to include it in programmes as an encore ; and finally, in 1926, she was persuaded (somewhat reluctantly) to write it down and have it published. Over the years it has won the affection of players and listeners throughout the world, until now it is one of the most familiar pieces of all Bach’s music.
