The most beautiful rendition of amazing grace on a pipe organ I ever have listened to. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@4hubby971]

There is only one word for that: Spectacular!

[@HaroldC4000]

Awesome composition. I don't think I have ever heard more than the traditional rendition of this beautiful tune. I never even realized there was more. Thank you, Gert. You are truly an inspiration to us all.

[@knickbooks6648]

Never thought I'd need to hear Amazing Grace again. Gert proved me wrong!

[@davidrstaggs4243]

Keep on playing Amazing Grace that way. The very best!!! Thankyou Gert

[@davidolien2828]

We are privileged to see and hear genius like this only once in our lifetime. He is a gift to all who love music. I cherish his performances but all I can say to him is : Thank You.

[@cehape2719]

pathetic and populistic comment by someone who has obviously not experienced lots of good or "genius" music, putting everyone else on the same low level as himself, no thanks

[@davidolien2828]

Herr Weber obviously has a high opinion of himself, probably not shared by those who have had the misfortune to have had contact with him.

[@cehape2719]

@@davidolien2828 another statement that only proves your bigotry. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you're drawing in "the others" again. That's what you need, confirmation from other people, because you're too insecure on your own. Someone who is confident is self-opinionated in your eyes. Just pathetic....but it's your life, play the do-gooder, all the best.

[@ewaldheersema8985]

Op 11 januari 2019 is mijn vader op bijna 82 jarige leeftijd overleden. Hij was vanaf zijn 15e al kerkorganist totdat hij door dementie niet meer spelen kon toen hij omstreeks 78 jaar oud was. Naast zijn vrouw, was het orgel zijn grote liefde, als hij er een zag moest hij spelen. Ik vind het jammer dat hij jou nooit heeft horen spelen in levende lijve, het had zo mooi geweest om zijn gezicht te zien, maar ik geloof dat hij met mij meegeniet. Ik dank je dat je dit prachtige instrument levend houd! Nu ben ik in Amerika, maar mijn tweede thuis is nog altijd in Harderwijk waar mijn moeder woont.

[@stevenmossner9667]

Beautiful and moving. So glad I subscribed. Reminiscent of the master, Bach. Thank you!!

[@tomhess5577]

One of the best hymns and played by the expert. Thank you Gert.

[@jwtg5684]

What should I say...I'm humbled...your improvisation is superb!! I'll never be able to hear "Amazing Grace" with out thinking of this ... you have even managed bagpipes. what an organ, what a master. My Thanks!!

[@dornenvogel401]

DANKE !! Eine große Meisterarbeit !!!

[@WayfaringStranger56]

Gert, I pray you will always remain a grateful caretaker of the GIFT God has given you. Your joy translates through every work you perform on the organ. I literally had a lump in my throat as you transitioned to the familiar refrain of Amazing Grace in this video. There is an undeniable element of worship in your playing that performance alone cannot imitate. I believe that is what sets you apart from all others. You and your family are in my prayers as God continues to lead and guide your musical career. Happy New Year 2020 to your entire family.

[@davidmajetniak2984]

What else to say ... God bless You too ...💌

[@davidrstaggs4243]

Another Beautiful performance. You are a Great Master organ performer. Just Amazing! Thankyou, may God continue to bless you both.

[@sos1691]

You've caused Amazing Grace to inspire a new much higher level of power.

[@richardbenitez7803]

As an american, i just had to listen to how Gert Van Hoet would bring the massive organ to this piece.

[@kscamm]

Mooi , from USA. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

[@dalea.8233]

[@multiSamP23]

Just brilliant Gert, listening to you is so inspirational.

[@trebcabb]

My ears hear mostly improvisations on La Folia until the end; not that I'm complaining; I love the Folia tune and it's done beautifully here.

[@howardbaitcher5464]

Bravo! Looking forward to your releases for the New Year.

[@PaddyPaddy-sx9sf]

This particular improvisational piece shows this young mans complete understanding of music and sound. Everything Gert does is an indication of his talent, however this piece, with its personal interpretation of a well known hymn, is absolutely the most remarkable piece of music I have ever heard played on the organ. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world Gert. We are forever in your debt.

[@rogergroot2950]

Gert .My dad graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of music in 1909 and was church organist and he also gave concerts.Pipe organ in my view is the most remarkable and inspiring music to Honor God.Thank you for all your songs that I can watch and listen!

[@johnbaxter8879]

Happy New Year to you and the family Gert. Your improvisations are the finest I have ever heard played on an organ and this one is no exception. Whenever I need a boost I turn immediately to the superb one you gave on the magnificent Willis organ in Liverpool Cathedral. The move from a beautifully evocative piece of playing to the pomp and circumstance of Land of Hope and Glory is wonderful and totally unexpected and the ending where the sounds increase to fill the cathedral and the joy on your face as you hold that long last note sum it all up. I didn't get to see you at Stoke last year but will look out for the next time you grace any organ in the UK and try to experience it live at last.
