Gert Van Hoef is a heaven-sent genius. His unbelievable and rare ability to make a magnificent organ come alive and speak to us in an eternal way is truly remarkable. The tears of indescribable emotion moved by this beautiful and immensely talented man are quite difficult to control. Thank you Gert!
Such a beautiful man with a talent blessed by God, living such a wonderful life spreading joy in all the great cathedrals around the world. I love everything about Gert!
I like these videos showing Gert arriving in a new town with his entourage of friends and helpers. Then he tries out the organ and starts to get used to it. Gert's playing is always a joy to listen to. And he is such a lovely guy. At 7.44 he starts to play one of his favourite melodies. His improvistaion on this theme is glorious and pure Gert van Hoef!
Wow ! This is an eye-opener ! I knew he was coming to record a CD on our marvellous church organ, one of the most melodious in Europe; but what a talent. thank you gert and please come and enjoy us again. Allways welcome in Geraardsbergen.
WOW...chills as the last piece kept building with every new perfect embellishment. I got out of breath during the last few measures and sustained final chord. Gert, you are amazing. You play like would, if I could. Like you're reading my mind for what I want to hear next...Thanks dude
Een onorthodoxe organist.die zowel klassieke als populair-klassieke werken speelt! En eentje die niet alleen alles uit zijn vingers en voeten kan krijgen, maar ook merkbaar van de schoonheid van de muziek en zijn vak geniet! Wat een toekomst.
Gert, you use your God given talents so well1 when skill, musical telants and emotional involvement go hand in hand we truly hear heavenly music. :-) Bedankt! God bless you and your loving companian. Her face shows happiness when she hears and sees you playing :-)
Gracias Gert por regalarnos la magnificencia de esta música. El órgano interpretado por tus manos, manos celestiales llenan de luz mi alma. Mil gracias. Eres un maestro.
Sorry, I've already added my opinions. But this improvised music called "Hope" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And to hear it played by Gert brings tears to my eyes. Are there words to this???
Dear Gert, What a wonderful birthday present you are! October 21st is my birthday. I love following you and to hear your great talent and the inspiring spirituality conveyed by your music. I hope that one day we may have the pleasure of your presence here in New England. (America) I am the Rev'd Jerry E. True, on the staff of Christ Church Cathedral here in Springfield, Massachusetts. God bless you and yours, Gert. Jerry+
Absolutely! I would love to meet him and have him do a program here at the Cathedral, and/or any other suitable venue. There is a great musicality and spirituality that comes through in his playing.
I'm compelled to comment! Love it! What talent you have. What singles you out from other great organ talents is your willingness and ability to express the breadth of what you feel inside as you play the music . This is what transports your performances into the stratosphere. I used to play the organ in church, but never developed further, unfortunately. Yet I seem to feel what you feel as you play and much of the time am in sync with the way you express yourself. And it's just such a marvelous and moving experience. I just found you today and immediately subscribed. I've already listened to a couple of hours now and am looking forward to many more hours of such bliss. Thank you Gert for being you. Never hold back what you feel inside as you play. That will be the key to your future.
So sorry that the venue is of concern to you. Looking at it the other way Gert could be a "protestant heretic" in a Catholic House of God. But none of this matters. He is a great musician and organist. Just listen to this wonderful piece of music.
I agree, Gert, you're an absolutely brilliant talent! I've been a great fan of yours ever since I heard you play for the first time... when my jaw literally dropped below my knees :) Right, not only the music (improvisation in particular), but your general modest behavior makes all that experience just top notch. Plus the quality of the recordings is really good (in comparison to many other pieces found on YT).
What a wonderful performer you are! I would hope hear you in person some day but in the meantime these wonderful videos will have to do. Thanks so much for sharing these.
Bravo Gert pour cette magnifique impro sur le thème Hope de Yiruma. Quelle joie de t'écouter et te regarder jouer. C'est la bonne humeur assurée grâce à tes harmonies efficaces et variées, et grâce à tes mélodies qui semblent couler de source alors qu'elles sont si riches et originales. Gilles54
Wat leuk om je door Geraardsbergen te zien lopen en de kerk te zien binnengaan. Je geniet duidelijk van het fantastische orgel, maar ik weet zeker dat als het orgel zelf gevoelens had hij ook van jou zou genieten. Bedankt voor al je moois.
Great playing as usual. I enjoyed the "behind the scenes" video showing arriving and your getting acquainted with the instrument...fun to "be there" with the support group. Nice that this is so recent and timely. Hope you will someday come to San Diego. We've got several nice organ installations around town that would be fun for you..well, we all have fun on any organ. M Webster, San Diego California
I loved that put together well nice to see you arriving at the beautiful church and the music very lovely Gert as usual Well done and ver interesting don't know the music but I liked it best wishes Gert Dee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂
What a great sounding orgel. I have enjoyed the last few posts as they show another side of your personality. Unlike some other players you come through the video's as a real person. The music you select is very enjoyable. Many Thanks JW USA
Es macht immer wieder sehr große Freude, den jungen Organist Gert van Hoeft an der Orgel bzw. den verschiedenen Orgelinstrumenten zu sehen und ihn darauf spielen zu hören. Wir, meine Lebensgefährtin und ich kommen am 24. August dieses Jahres von Düsseldorf nach Breda und hoffen, Gert in der Groten Kerk sehen und spielen zu hören. Viele Grüße auch an die namentlich unbekannte Assistentin und entsprechend an die vielen Assistenten. Ansonsten grüßen wir auch alle Menschen aus Holland recht herzlich! Helma Lohmann und Josef Milles
Geweldig om mijn dag met dit filmpje te beginnen. Daar word ik helemaal vrolijk van. Het orgel klinkt heel fraai, met aan het eind een indrukwekkende bas. Hopelijk horen we van het concert nog iets.
Gert, I loove to listen to you ! So top ! Your passion for music is a must ! that's what I call a human being :-D BTW, that organ is demolishing, wow ! Wish you lots of happiness in your life.
Dear Gert: I don't believe I have ever heard such a talented organist! Thankyou so much! I wish so much you could come to do a recital at the East Liberty Presbyterian church in Pittsburgh ,Pennsylvania! I will be the first one in the door!
wauw prachtig, ik wou dat ik orgel had gekozen, als muziek instrument, prachtig ik bespeel de trompet ook mooi, maar dit is echt zeer indrukwekkend. Bravo!!!
+Gert van Hoef haha dat is inderdaad waar, en noten lezen kan ik al alleen ik heb geen orgel hier thuis staan😂 maar wel een synthesyzer mischien moet ik daar maar eens mee beginnen
+Gert van Hoef ik ben nu 16 dus ja opzich kan het nog wel ja, ik zou graag van die prachtige stukken willen spelen zoals arrive of the queen of sheba, prachtig stuk ja en het klinkt op orgel ook wel extra mooi, want wat jij ook al zei het is een soort van orkest.
Well fancy seeing you here! Did I tell you I am playing the first ever national Organ competition in London on the 28th of December in two days time? I will be playing the complete version of Toccata and Fugue in D minor. I actually only started really learning it on the 16th of December. No clue how I have done it, as I only started playing the organ in September...
+William Lewis I'm not even grade 1 yet and Toccata and Fugue is grade 8+ (I checked the Trinity (or was it Royal) college of music website) So wish me luck in 2 days!
Das ist für mich die schönste Version von Hope, einfach phantastisch! Und davor die Ankunft der Königin von Saba ebenso ein Hochgenuß! Und zwischendurch zu sehen wie ein hochbegabter Organist eine so wundervolle Orgel, sichtlich mit großer Freude ausprobiert ist auch ein Hochgenuß. Ich werde in diesem Jahr auf jeden Fall einige Orgelkonzerte von Gert van Hoef besuchen, vielleicht in Verbindung eines Besuchs der wunderschönen Tulpenblüte in Holland.
Wish I could go to one of Gert's concerts in person, but I will enjoy the next best thing: his videos full-screen mode where I have a front-row seat!!!!!
@@TerryP1922 Thank you very much, I'm looking foreward to your answer! Mybe you can visit a concert of Gert in Victoriahall, Hanley, Stoke on Trent this summer.
KlausAnton, I would love nothing more than to visit England again. I saw the organ at Kings College Chapel I believe in Cambridge a long time ago and was mesmerized by the sound. Unfortunately, I have someone in my family in poor health and I take care of them. ( I am a nurse). So if you can make the concert, go for both of us, please and relay my best to Gert and Marjolein!!!!!
Have just discovered you as I was searching for Charles Vidor's Toccata. I found many, but yours was the one that made the hairs stand up on arms...just magical. Each of your videos are like opening a gift. Thank you. The Myerson Symphony Hall in Dallas, Texas has a wonderful organ that could use your talent.
Un petit coucou au Seigneur en entrant dans l'église ? C'eût été un hommage rendu à l'inspirateur des mélodies spirituelles que vous interprétez si magnifiquement. Ne L'oublions pas trop ...
Goede dag Gert..Hier nog een klein berichtje van een trouwe fan van Je.Alhoewel ik niet naar alle concerten kan komen, blijf ik je zeker wel volgen.Bij deze video uit Geraardsbergen vind ik alles mooi om te horen, maar vanaf 7.25 speel je een prachtig nummer, heerlijke vrolijke noten, één woord: GEWELDIGIk ga proberen om naar je te komen luisteren in Maassluis, als mijn werk dat toelaat.Op 18 November op vrijdag, hopelijk mag ik op tijd naar huis.Ik ben vrachtwagenchauffeur...Met vriendelijke Groet, Dirk Norder
A nice diversion from your normal enjoyable performances. Would like to hear you perform a selection from, Phantom of the Opera, " All I Ask Of You. " I believe your improvision of this beautiful song would be a pleasure.
HNY -- just stopped in for another look at this really great piece of improvisation. It's a good thing the cameras were rolling....I don't know if you could ever recreate this one again from memory.
I noticed that the lowest pedal bass note sounded not quite right..? A little dry maybe and not too full? I don't know, who am I to say, I'm not a musician. Maybe on the final note, Gert chose not to use the pedal, perhaps. I'm just saying. I am glad that he chose to forego the low pedal. The ending chord was beautiful, just beautiful. Thanks, Gert. You sir, are a national treasure. If you go to play in England I'll bet the Queen will be so impressed that Her Highness may bestow you Knighthood. You are that good!!!

He is like J. S. Bach. But in our days.
Fantastic! What a beautiful instrument played by a musical master. Thanks Gert.
Thank God for this amazing talent that you offer so graciously. Don't ever stop.
From America, we love you! A fantastic ending!

Thanks for taking us along on this part of your trip via video. I love your performances on various organs.
Gert, you are a very fortunate young man! You have great talent, and you get to play so many wonderful organs!
Music playing to my soul : magnificent. Thank You for these performances .
Sorry, I've already added my opinions. But this improvised music called "Hope" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And to hear it played by Gert brings tears to my eyes. Are there words to this???
Simply wonderful to see Gert play, any time, any place. I adore this talent 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gert, you are out of this world, greetings from Mexico.
Amazing video and edited very well! The organ is a magical instrument and you, Gert play it with such emotion! I look up to you!

Absolutely! I would love to meet him and have him do a program here at the Cathedral, and/or any other suitable venue. There is a great musicality and spirituality that comes through in his playing.
Panfluit
Gosh yes please! what a treat that'd be! His rendition of Widor Toccata c minor is awe-inspiring!
Gert, listening and watching you play the organ always makes my heart happy! Greetings from the USA!
What a gorgeous pedal stop for the end of Hope. It sounds as if it almost beat the microphone. :D
A really beautiful church.

bravo Gert... Tu nous réjouiras encore longtemps... Merci.
A beautiful improvisation, Gert, Thank-you.
Keep playing I could listen to you all day, thank you.
Like you best when you are relaxed and informal. This is a great video well filmed and edited. Thanks very much.
He makes it look so easy and casual. Love Hope, brilliant.
Magnificent, wonderfull player of organ.
I’m green with envy! Thanks for sharing your life and talent!
From Houston, heard you for the first time today on RUclips. What an inspiration.
That was awesome Gert. Loved every minute of it!! Beautiful church indeed...
Jens Unterbauer HH
So sorry that the venue is of concern to you. Looking at it the other way Gert could be a "protestant heretic" in a Catholic House of God. But none of this matters. He is a great musician and organist. Just listen to this wonderful piece of music.

The best improvisation of "Hope" , by far, that you have ever played Gert. Awesome is all I can say!
What is the name of the finale?
@@kylesherman397 It's an improvisation on the tune "Hope" by Yiroma.
Wonderful. I enjoy seeing you out and about.

Great. Nothing compares
Gert ist der Meister, seine Spielart geht von den Ohren direkt in´s Herz!

Prachtig dat mensen dat kunnen! Gert fantastisch!
