Hit the like button as soon as the video begun to play; you just know that Gert plays splendidly no matter what piece he plays - a remarkable talent! Just wow! 👏👏👏👏👏
Gert, OMG!!!!!!!! 100 times over, this version is outrageous! I love watching you play and the subtle clues you give to Marjolein to pull out the stops you need. I am still amazed at how you can play, reach for the stops and not miss a beat with the footwork. Ok, I am hitting replay again and again and cranking up the volume on this one! OUTSTANDING....thank you again for a great performance.
Gert! In the immortal words of Tina Turner, 'Simply the best. Better than all the rest!'. You must have had so much fun playing this, I certainly had fun watching and listening to it! Thank you!
Brilliant, dazzling! It is beyond my little brain to understand such amazing talent! And how we LOVE to see Marjolein look and smile at Gert the way she does!! What a special couple!
Nu iemand die dit tijdens het vollopen van een grote gereformeerde kerk speelt :). Altijd humor om de ene helft te zien lachen want die herkennen het en de andere helft die zich weer afvraagt wat voor goddeloze muziek er nu weer gespeeld wordt :)
I don't know if you will see this comment. I really enjoyed this performance, but what I liked most was how your wife was enjoying your performance. I'm sure your child will follow music, since babies in the womb do hear and feel the music along with the feelings of the mother. I love your performances and especially the movie themes!
Was für ein Feuerwerk!!! Genau so fühl ich das Ding. Es gibt doch nichts Schlimmeres, als wenn du an Musik eine bestimmte Erwartung hast, jede Zelle deines Körpers ist bereits in Hochspannung und dann ist die Interpretation musikalischer Durchfall. Gert ist einfach kompromisslos auf den Punkt, versetzt mich immer wieder in euphorische Ekstase und sorgt für ein Dauergrinsen in meinem Gesicht!!! Einfach grandios!!!
Thank you Gert (and Marjolein) ! your improvisations and interpretations fill with joy my organist friends or simple organ lovers like me. You propose a dynamic music and more classic pieces that correspond perfectly to what is needed to revive organ music in France for the greatest number of listeners. The instruments you play on are all bright and in good condition. This is unfortunately not the case for many of our organs in France. Many associations try to remedy this, but it's difficult!
Wonderful! Stupendous! I began to tear up during the applause. So proud of him. To think that two hands and two feet did all that with an attuned brain and mind! You can see his whole being focused on that piece!
To Gert and Marjolein, Great Job on this..! watching you 2 workside by side is a treat. And the best of all is to know that little blessing is there too. I will bet he will love to play POC all the time, and Dad be ready to have a pirate ship in your playground !
Incredible, fantastic, outstanding! Bravo!!!!!!!!! Love the pedals and footwork too. Love seeing your wife at your side and helping and supporting you. Keep it up!
Hi Gerd. What an impressive performance and version! And your foot work. Fantastic. One day I wanna see u live on the organ. Wishing u all 3 the best for 2019! Regards
I could listen to you play all day and all night...wonderful. Your wife is beautiful and it is very clear that she adores you. I am very happy for you both and I hope and pray that you will teach your child to play as you do. Hopefully I can come over someday to hear and see you play, but until then...thank you so much for the music.
Another great video. Used to love his voicing and selections... now add the enjoyment of watching Gert and Marjolein working together. It's even better.
Dear Gert; You've created a masterpiece. Congratulations! You have such a wonderful feel for music and you've got a bit of an entertainer in you, too. Blessings on all you love and thanks for sharing with all of us.
Gert, I truly enjoy watching your videos. They show your love of music, with your expressions, and movements. Continue to share your love of music, and your talent with the world.
In Rimouski, small town of Canada, in Quebec, our cathedral is nearly abandonned. Our modest winter festival, scheduled next end of January, is inspired by your incredible show. Despite the cathedral is closed now, its organ is working very well. We are considering the insane project to reopen to the public this cathedral and offer to young artists to play for an exceptionnal 4 h show, but beginning by your spectacular and "innovative" performance of Pirates of the Caribbean. If this project is confirmed, we will have to publicly thank you a lot to have been the real trigger of such an initiative .... being so sorry no to have you playing here !
AWESOME!!! I love watching Marjolein's face as her expressions were the same as mine, absolute joy. I love the music but especially the way Gert plays and emotionalizes it. Keep up the great work, TEAM Van Hoef!!!
Absolutely fantastic i wish i could be there. It is so great to see somone who can breathe true life into such a beutiful organ and truly play the the organ how it was ment to
Fantastisch. Al heel vaak beluisterd en ik geniet volop van deze uitvoering. Een geweldige compositie waarbij ook Marjolein soms verbaasd is kijkend naar haar glimlach. De snelheid , de bediening van registers, toetsen en pedaalwerk is majestueus. Grote bewondering voor al het talent dat je van Hem in bruikleen hebt. Naast de kerkmuziek mag ik graag dit soort populaire muziek op het orgel horen. Geniet van je kinderen, Marjolein en dierbaren om je heen. 🎼🎶
Been a big fan for a long time and hope one day to be able to come and hear you play live. However, just come across this tonight for the first time - absolutely awesome! Your playing Gert really helps to unwind from the stress of the day :-)
Non vuoi proprio finire mai di stupirci, Gert! Io non sono musicista, non mi intendo di tecniche musicali, conosco appena le note e il loro valore, ma le tue esecuzioni mi piacciono, mi trascinano. Complimenti! E grazie.
I always get a big smile on my face when i see this ... that's all about love: congenial, supporting, admiring and when you are in danger of exaggeration, your wife gives you a little raillery with her eyes that helps you to find the ground again. You are such a wonderful team!
I can only repeat myself: now a very big idol for me, for repeating what I've learned 30 years ago and am repeating right now. I'm sad lost 30 years with stupid work instead of training on the organ... ;-(
Eine herrliche Improvisation von Fluch der Karibik, Habe gestern den ersten Teil bei meinen Schwager gesehen,und habe auch die grandiose Filmmusik genossen . Auch auf der Pfeifenorgel hört es sich sehr gut an👍👍👍
Oh man, you are a genius, Gert! That was just wonderful. Dank je! And BTW, in order to calculate the total number of likes in each of your musical uploads, you need to multiply the number of 'Likes' by the number of jealous 'Thumbs Down'! :-)

Well said truly amazing performance!
Gert! In the immortal words of Tina Turner, 'Simply the best. Better than all the rest!'. You must have had so much fun playing this, I certainly had fun watching and listening to it! Thank you!
He has this special sense of radiant Joy when he's playing works he loves. Quite amazing and highly contagious. I love turning people on to Gert.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MASTERPIECE! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Encore merci gert et marjolein
Marjolein looks so amused! And it's obvious why! Great, Gert!!
Brilliant, dazzling! It is beyond my little brain to understand such amazing talent! And how we LOVE to see Marjolein look and smile at Gert the way she does!! What a special couple!

Her eyes say everything
Wonderful! Stupendous! I began to tear up during the applause. So proud of him. To think that two hands and two feet did all that with an attuned brain and mind! You can see his whole being focused on that piece!
Thank you, Michael!
“Amazing” would be an understatement.
This is simply Devine ...
Ik heb een beetje te doen met het orgel, zoveel geweld wordt er op los gelaten! Fantastisch Gert!

Omg she is sooo cute looking at him!!!
But the music is brilliant as well!!
I like it when she manages the registers. :)
Vielen Dank für diese grandiose Filmmusik 👍👍👍👍😀😀😀

The melody in the pedal at 6:12... That is true virtuosity!
And that Bombarde 32‘! 👍🏻
Same at 4:06

Fenonominaal in een woord gezegd
Fantastic rendition Gert!
That improv shows how you have grown in your skill. Thanks again for playing real music and carrying it to a whole new level. That was awesome.
Nice range of expression and foot work, excellent! Thank you!
Gozer wow ik kan het amper op 🎹 en dan doe jij dit wouw
Three words fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

Such a beautiful assistant, congratulations.
Been a big fan for a long time and hope one day to be able to come and hear you play live. However, just come across this tonight for the first time - absolutely awesome! Your playing Gert really helps to unwind from the stress of the day :-)
Wahnsinn .. Ich liebe diesen Song .. Und ich bin total begeistert von deiner Interpretation .. Werde mir dein Video bestimmt sehr oft anschauen
These two are wonderful together! Imagine how the wondrous sounds are influencing their in utero baby.
Sounds fantastic..thanks again!! And praying Mum and Little Thomas are doing well
Amazing tour de force!
Love it!!! Best yet of all the versions you have performed. Look forward for more of your performances.

Bravissimo!
Wonderful talent. This is probably my favourite piece that you play.
I always get a big smile on my face when i see this ... that's all about love: congenial, supporting, admiring and when you are in danger of exaggeration, your wife gives you a little raillery with her eyes that helps you to find the ground again. You are such a wonderful team!

Just simply outstanding. Wow!
Great performance. Tremendously entertaining as always. Watched the first 'Pirates' (film), which was quite sufficient, thanks!
What a legendary performance! Best sounding piece I've heard from you in a while :)
Simple genius! Marvelous and delightful! From Colorado...
Was weer een feest om naar te kijken en te luisteren.
Then ending is amazing!!!!
Wow!
Amazingly Beautiful.
Fabuleux, grandiose, j'aime cette interprétation, Gert Bravo et Bise à Thomas et Marjolein.
Excellent job! And congrats to Marjolein for her stop pulling and her little Gert?.
Man you need a massage after this WOW 🙌
I love Gert's playing but the best part is seeing him "dance" on the pedals.
Best Performance of this song i´ve ever listened to.
Even doing Fourier transforms during a take home exam felt epic, listening to this music. Thank you very much and such an amazing performance
I can only repeat myself: now a very big idol for me, for repeating what I've learned 30 years ago and am repeating right now.
I'm sad lost 30 years with stupid work instead of training on the organ... ;-(
Uitstekend gespeeld....en dan jullie fantastische samenspel👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
awesome
The climax was so powerful it brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful rendition, Gert!
Un artista preparato e disinvolto che padroneggia lo strumento e ne esalta le potenzialità
Frankly a virtuoso performance. Bravo!
Bravo - you’re a genious!!!
Heel Mooi Orgel Gert and Marjolein

Wauw.. Klinkt als nieuw. Geweldige ervaring. Top!!!
Gert, when is your baby due? I can't wait down the road to see Father and Son or Daughter playing the organ together. What a joy that will be.
Baby Thomas is here. (complete with keyboard fingers) See Gert's Christmas upload before this one.
Wonderful!
