Wonderful...... My english is not good so I found not the right words what I want to say. This was the best version I ever heard from this peace. Thank you a lot nd I hope you can understand me. It was very professional.

[@TheJohn1567]

Brava!

[@jamesatherton4410]

Such elegance and poise, you really bring the notes off the page and breathe life into them. Stunning!

[@piaipier]

É una delle migliori interpretazioni che io abbia mai sentito. É sublime. L’organista é ispirata e coinvolge in profondità: con questa musica si ascolta, si ricorda, si prega, si ama, si soffre, si gioisce, si medita,si contempla… grazie di vero cuore…

[@mainecooncatman]

Katelyn, your playing of this is profound- filled with understanding. Thank you.

Breathtakingly lovely performance

[@pianosteven5494]

You are playing wonderful 😍. I love it how you feel with the music and how you conduct with your arms. Your pedalwork is amazing. Your feet are flying so light-footed over the pedals. You are wonderful 😘

[@pianosteven5494]

Do you also playing concerts in Germany?

[@KatelynEmerson]

@@pianosteven5494 Thank you so much! Yes, very often! I always love returning to Germany 😊

remarquable interprétation; je suis en admiration

[@JohnsOrganWorks]

Yes indeed, a perfect way to remember Cesar Franck on his 200th birthday.

[@larryereynolds]

Magnificent performance of a magnificent work. I swear you are the reincarnation of Dr. Catherine Crozier.

[@dmitrylotow9688]

[@nakorganist]

Fantastic music! Thanks a lot for this!

[@Michael_VG]

Great performance Katelyn!

[@Hoe1963]

Very nice and expressive!

[@user-gs1eg7du2h]

Tad sluggish, otherwise great.

[@johnsenig7104]

Your tempo is too slow (Yes, I KNOW it’s a slow work), and your phrasing leaves something to be desired.

[@KatelynEmerson]

Thank you for your interest! I look forward to hearing your interpretation 😊
