Bij toeval Gert gevonden. Wat een enthousiasme. Gert is een gezegend mens. God zegene hem en Marjolein. Zijn spel is heerlijk. En dat is hard nodig in deze moeilijke tijd.
Excellent! The emotion, the style in Gert's playing is rarely found today. There are many organists and recitalists who just perfectly play the music, but when Gert plays he lights up the world with beauty, excellence and art. You are the best, a light to inspire all organists. I can't find enough words of praise, My Favorite organist musician!
AT 9:53 when Gert hits the high beam button with his foot to activate the high beams, we just KNEW that it was going to get serious! :-P All jokes aside though, this young man is a musical genius and never ceases to amaze with his renditions and unbelievable musical talent. Great work as always Gert!
Dag Gert. Al meer dan 40 jaar bespeel ik het orgel. Zo'n virtuoos als jij zal ik nooit worden maar de liefde voor het orgel en de muziek delen we. Ik werd vandaag 62 jaar. Jij ook nog gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag. Groeten van Henk Samplonius uit Appingedam
Tu dnnes à la Suite Gothique de Boëllmann une inspiration qui t'est propre. C'est tout simplement merveilleux d'entendre ce que ton intelligence lui insuffle. Merci cordial pour l'âme que tu donnes à l'orgue.
Gert van Hoef is 22 today, June 17th 2016 ! For eight years now and for our greatest pleasure, he has regularly given us his finest organ recitals, each new one more captivating than the last. Over the years we have seen his talent flourish, and so "Super Gert" has gradually become "Maestro Gert"... / Nous vous souhaitons un joyeux anniversaire, cher Gert ! / Happy birthday dear Gert ! Happy birthday to you ! / Gefeliciteerd met uw verjaardag, beste Gert !
Maybe at last my fear Gert would swallow a popular ‘easy’ repertiore (threatened by many of his early performances) and become the Liberace of the organ can be put to rest at last?
I keep coming back to this great video. Love this piece of music you have performed flawlessly and with such enthusiasm. Have watched it so many times! And look where the two of you are today, two years later.
Magnifique interprétation de cette oeuvre majeure pour l'orgue. Le mouvement lent (Prière à Notre-Dame) est admirablement exécuté, les mains de Gert effleurent à peine les touches des claviers... Et la toccata finale est éblouissante : tout y est, les nuances alliées au choix ingénieux des registrations comme l'équilibre judicieux entre les claviers manuels et le pédalier... Une fois de plus, Gert van Hoef nous comble de joie, cette joie qu'il partage à la console, celle à la fois d'exercer sa passion et de nous la communiquer. Une fois encore, un grand merci ! (A noter que cette oeuvre de Léon Boëllmann sera donnée aux grandes orgues de l'église Saint-Eustache à Paris, par l'excellent Baptiste-Florian Marle-Ouvrard, cotitulaire, ce dimanche 26 juin 2016, à 17 h 30.)
This is amazing. I am used to hearing this piece on huge Cavaille-Colls with thunderous pedal bombardes. This little twenty stop organ with just the one pedal reed loses nothing in comparison. There'[s magic in that registration.
Schitterend! Fijn dat je tegenwoordig af en toe de complete stukken speelt in plaats van alleen de veel gespeelde favoriete delen uit zo'n stuk, ga daar mee door!
I am amazed by all these "little" organs around Holland that sound so wonderful. Gert, your talent for registration is amazing. you really make these organs "sing". Thank you!
@@Nooticus Well yes...Sorry...You think I would know better since I spent a couple summers in the Netherlands. But the American education system generally synonymizes the two (at least when I was in 9th grade geography), old habits die hard. Gert is still amazing wherever he is playing!
Hoi Gert! Ik kan geen noot lezen en nooit veel orgel gehoord, maar je hebt me helemaal om! Ook mooi om te zien zoals je opgaat in de muziek! Ga zo door!
Gert, vous avez beaucoup de talents, continuez ! Cette Suite Gothique , je l'écoure souvent, et la dernière fois, il y a 2h, par Michel Chapuis à Dôle ; une performance, si l'on connait les limites de cet instrument magnifique, mais aussi le talent de Michel Chapuis pour se passer des "accessoires" modernes qu'on ne trouve pas sur cet orgue.Je continuerai à vous écouter... !
A Suite Gothique, Opus 25 de Boellman tocada por Gert Van Hoef é uma sumidade refletindo serenidade, força e técnica. Sou fã desse cara, parabéns meu amigo!
Gert, this is probably the 3 time listening to this, and is just gets better... You inspire me so much... Tomorrow I am starting with this piece, and will be back for more inspiration!!! Thanks!
In the third movement - the serenade - do not discard the thick, almost "sickening" reedy stop you use in previous renditions. It is a delightful stop for this sad overly sentimental but beautiful gush. Superb famous last movement. You are doing well holding the tempo together with this roller. I like the gradual increase in volume to maximum organ. You are truly gifted.
Salutations distinguées à la plus que charmante Majolein dont le charme et la beauté s'harmonisent avec ta géniale interprétation et ta remarquable sensibilité.
This organ might not be able to mess with the big French ones, but you definitely managed to get that "Boellmann sound" out of it... Very adequate registration -- interesting to hear that a missing swell division is not a real problem for that piece. Thanks for the upload, Gert!
hi light and copy. Then go to Google/translate and enter left side [dutch] and right side your language. Woolah! You get the translation [somewhat as the Dutch would speak it, though]. ENJOY FRIEND!!
Door een technisch probleem met het orgel viel de hele voorbereiding in duigen en kon Gert geen gebruik maken van de vrije combinatie en oplosser. Er zat niets anders op, dan het hele concert handmatig te registreren. Hoewel geen eenvoudige klus, werd het toch nog een geslaagde avond!
+Alan Windeknecht Because of a technical problem with the organ, they had to do the registrations manually instead of using preprogrammed ones. It wasn't easy, but it was a succesful evening!
Your intelligence and sensibility were felt even though the organ was difficult. Artistic sensibility will always transcend technical problems; Thanks Gert for this superb interpretation!!!
"Due to a technical problem with the organ was the whole preparation in tatters and Gert could not use the free combination and solver. There was nothing for it, then record the whole concert manually. Although not an easy job, it was still an enjoyable evening!"
Gert!!! Well done. Very good. Nice tempo, clear registration. The organ is interesting. Electric action or electro-pneumatic? Tilt-Tablet console seems unusual. More postings would be appreciated you your world wide fan club. WOnderful performance of a profound and delicate piece.
Bravo! My wife and I had the Introduction to the Suite Gothique as our wedding recessional. Sadly, the organist ruined it by playing it far too fast (we almost ran out of the church!) - your tempo was just perfect. It was 47 years ago though and I suppose nobody did Boellman in those days.
Boëllmann has of course written the Suite Gothique for organ. But imagine, that an orchestra wants to play this piece. No way! Therefore my comment :-))
If you mean the Palace of Arts organ, that one is 11 years old at the moment ;-) But Xaver Varnus is one of the best indeed, a though competitor :-) Although he should have skipped the brass instruments in his recording.
*Van Hoef encountered technical issues* with the combination action on the J. de Koff en Zoon organ (built 1954 at Utrecht), which forced manual registration for the entire program.
Musical GENIUS here with great ability as an organist! Praise to his wife, too, as his registrar. Always a pleasure to hear Gert!

Gert, there is no superlative to describe the way your music makes me feel. Thank You.
Yes !!! As I said in another comment, I've run out of superlatives, and a mere "thanks" or "bravo" seems so inadequate !!
Once again the young maestro excels in his great feel and interpretation of this great music, the touch, the tone, he's simply lost in the music.

Very well played Gert.......thank you from Vancouver Canada
Absolutely Magnificent !
Jankamol,
Dank zij internet weer genoten van dit nummer en uitvoering, fantastisch wat een speelvreugde.
I keep coming back to this great video. Love this piece of music you have performed flawlessly and with such enthusiasm. Have watched it so many times!
And look where the two of you are today, two years later.
Fantastic music expertly played.
WOW!!!!!!!
Me, too. I’ve watched him playing this for so many times….
1. Introduction - Choral - 0:07
2. Menuet gothique - 2:27
3. Prière à Notre-Dame - 5:01
4. Toccata - 10:03
I just love this piece. Very powerful and well done. Smiles at the end are well deserved!! Cheers from Canada
Ein Geburtstagsgeschenk zum 22.! Großartig!!
Toccata (vanaf 10.03) is alom bekend en geweldig vertolkt door deze jonge organist met veel toekomst. Prachtig, prachtig!!
Magnifiquement interprété👌La musique se vit de l'intérieur pour être transmise si merveilleusement et faire son chemin jusqu'à nous 🎶🎵🎶Merci Gert..

you know, I have watched this several times, and it never ceases to amaze me with his intensity for this setting! very emotional.
I was so happy to find this. My mother played this at our wedding, 55 years ago. I walked down the aisle to the Prière.
And we left the church to that majestic chorale
je regarde et J'écoute avec toujours autant de ravissement vos vidéos. Merci et bravo pour votre talent

I really want to hear this live someday!!🙂but I know I will be reduced to tears (of joy)
Enjoyed it, Gert !! Beautiful organ and beautifully played.

Lovely piece fabulously played
Cheers from England.
Sat 10 August 2019 Victoria Hall concert in Hanley Stoke on Trent. I'm going from Northern Ireland. I was there 2017.
Thanks for the fine videos and excellent music.
Thank you Gert. Wish I was there...!
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag! Gezondheid, succes, liefde!
Gert, this is probably the 3 time listening to this, and is just gets better... You inspire me so much... Tomorrow I am starting with this piece, and will be back for more inspiration!!! Thanks!
Excellent as always and also Happy Birthday!
ik ken t probleem - niet te min heb je er een fan bij...absoluut werldklasse en een kunstenaar in iedere beweging..respect dus
Prachtig! Dat stuk heb ik zelf ook gespeeld vroeger. Helaas kan ik dat niet meer, maar ik vond het machtig om te leren!
Wonderful. Theatrics and all.
played with such conviction! outstanding performance

Serenade? It's a *Prayer* to Our Lady, for crying out loud!
Wie jarig is trakteert, zal Gert gedacht hebben. Nogmaals gefeliciteerd en bedankt voor je traktatie ;
Toccata= out of this world. Loved it ! Brilliant G & M

voorbereiding of niet, het is weer perfect...! mooi gert!
This was a prelude at our wedding. Love it.
wat een geweldig orgel! (en uitvoering) klasse!
thrilling! amazing! gut-renching! stellar performance!
Klingt wirklich überzeugend auch auf einer kleineren Orgel ohne Schwellwerk.
Klasse registriert. Ich bin begeistert.
Erstaunlich bei so wenigen Registern! Hat er gut gemacht! Zeer goet, heel mooi!
Gert!!! Well done. Very good. Nice tempo, clear registration. The organ is interesting. Electric action or electro-pneumatic? Tilt-Tablet console seems unusual. More postings would be appreciated you your world wide fan club. WOnderful performance of a profound and delicate piece.
Powerful and majestic
Excellent Gert, well played !
Wonderful! Only Xaver Varnus plays the second movement even faster. Scaringly fast. Masterfully fast. I love your rendition!
Geweldig gespeeld Gert en nog van Harte
Molto bello. Buona esecuzione. I miei molteplici complimenti.
Merci Gert
excelent !!!!
Thanke You !!
really great performance for such a small organ! love it :)
but sad to see no young people in the crowd...
Mooi stuk is dat toch,heel knap gespeeld
Geweldig! vol passie gespeeld. 👍☺️
this performance was insane!!! 🥰
WOW...so powerfully good.
It would be interesting to know when each organ was built.
But either way, you performances are magnificent!
Gert, You rival Virgil Fox on this work. Wonderful.
The toccata is extraordinary...well done!
Interesting, Gert - you've gone from a few folks scattered around the church to a nearly full house!
Awesome !! :)
Mooi uitgevoerd joh,ook leuk eens een registrante,komt ook niet heel vaak voor;)
beautifully played.

Have you considered to come to Canada for a concert tour....
Not really, actually. We always depend on an organization to invite us. This hasn't happened for Canada yet.
Bravo! My wife and I had the Introduction to the Suite Gothique as our wedding recessional. Sadly, the organist ruined it by playing it far too fast (we almost ran out of the church!) - your tempo was just perfect. It was 47 years ago though and I suppose nobody did Boellman in those days.
impresionante y maravilloso
Bravo!
Heerlijk mooi!!!
Alain, god loves you. Nobody can say that, other than being taught that, which is fine. Get it?
Despite the technical problems a magificent rendition nevertheless.
Bravissimo.Menuet etwas langsamer wie vor 4 Jahren, dafür Toccata atemberaubend schnell. Da hält kein Orchester mit....... Danke für das Aufschalten.
Boëllmann has of course written the Suite Gothique for organ. But imagine, that an orchestra wants to play this piece. No way! Therefore my comment :-))
Gert Would it be possible to use the Translation app to allow us to read the Dutch. Thanks Keep up the great work.
That instrument has an amazing sound for not being very big.
Awesome, dude! :)
Marvelous!
Слушаю в Москве++!!!
Грандиозно!!+
Great performance! Equal to another organist XAVER VARNUS 's at the dedication of a new organ at Budapest, I think.
If you mean the Palace of Arts organ, that one is 11 years old at the moment ;-) But Xaver Varnus is one of the best indeed, a though competitor :-) Although he should have skipped the brass instruments in his recording.
BRAVO!!!
Bravo.
