Henk uit Amerika hier: Dat stuk is één van m’n favorieten, tja, misschien meestal favoriete orgel/orkest werken… Ik volg ook de Scott broeren. U heeft dit transcriptie werk perfect, prachtig uitgevoerd!!! Kan mijn ogen sluiten, en elke bijzondere geluid was weergegeven! Uitstekend! Mooi zo.. En Marjolein, u was zo-o-o aandachtig gedurende de repetitie (rehearsal in English) EN de uitvoering (performance in English) dat allebei u waren de beste, mooiste, allerliefste EN verliefde team!!!! Mooi zo!!!! Encore!! Encore!!!!

[@judyandsteve]

Very, you are amazing! You are fortunate to have your wonderful wife with you.

[@trolyat]

This is by far my favorite classical symphony. I have the 1984 recording with Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, Michael Murray, Organist.

[@lordbrennanofsealand5772]

A standing ovation in my living room.... magnificent.

[@susan3883]

I can't express my love for this piece and it is so awesome that you included the preparaton as it demonstrates to me the effort put into performing this piece, but I truly love it: it's majestic and awe-inspiring! Those who disliked this video, must have done so, because they were so thrilled to bits with listening to it that they mishit the like button! Thank you so much Mr. Hoef.

[@Froggie24546]

Dear Gert , I thought for one moment I was in heaven, listening to you playing this expressive and demanding piece of music was exciting , thrilling and wonderful you played it perfectly . I pray that before I go to heaven I will watch and hear you play here in Australia . I have followed your playing of this wonderful instrument since you were a young child you have given me years of enjoyment . Thank you Gert , God bless you both.

[@capacityplus]

I know exactly what you mean. I had the privilege of meeting Gert and Marjolein in England 2017. I travelled from Northern Ireland for the concert. It was worth every penny. They announced their engagement at the concert.

[@igorershov6171]

There is at least one thing evident for me - In spite of Gert has reached the very high level, He is still progressing year by year, so there is no limits to perfection.

[@SternDrive]

I have heard this one as a symphony performance with organ back up. Here Gert plays the whole thing on the organ. It does not get better than this. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@elsaarmstrong-zp6ng]

Gert/Marjoleine can sure tame these monster organs ! Fantastic keyboard/pedalboard work! Joy to hear and see!

[@elsaarmstrong-zp6ng]

Saint Sean’s composed this piece for a full orchestra with an organ! It has hardly any organ in the first 3 movements only the 4 th the organ wakens up with some mighty chords! One of the best recordings is in the BBC proms at the Albert hall in London ! Full fff blasting out the pipes with bang crash percussion brings it to a mountain of sound! Can’t remember which orchestra Vidor something. ??? Gert handles the whole as a solo organ ! Not an easy task! Well done Gert! Fraser/Elsa

[@gramps2matt]

I really like when Gert shows his preparations for a selection he will perform. Planning for the concert is just as important as the performance.

[@claudefattelay3614]

Cher musicien , vous m’épatez. J’en suis très ému un grand merci pour ce bonheur que vous procurez autour de vous .

[@josephbear6874]

I can not agree more with all the very positive comments made here. Thank you Gert, you are the BEST

[@kansascyty2993]

El mejor very BEST of world

[@Railfan6675]

Dear Marjolein and Gert, Oh the look of satisfaction on your face at the finish of this piece! That is music that you can really get your teeth into and is just another challenge for you. Very well done and thanks for showing us a bit of the setup procedure.

[@kurtdsauer]

Thank you, Gert, for sharing your performance here. This work is very familiar to my ears, one of my all-time favorites, and has been so since I first heard it in 1973. Your command of the instrument assures the listener will hear all the possible resources from ppp to fff. Thank you for allowing us to see you perform just a few feet from you. It makes us better appreciate that organists are probably the busiest musicians in the world. Your performance is impressive and spiritually moving.

[@PHPJN7]

Had another listen again, wow what a piece

[@alsenwulf]

Geniales Stück - genialer Gert-Organist - geniale Orgel ! 😌 😍 Paßt alles zusammen. Ich konnte 2019 die Seifert-Orgelwerke in Kevelaer kennenlernen, es wurde uns dort alles perfekt erklärt und ich freue mich immer, wenn ich so ein Meisterinstrument hören darf - ganz besonders von Gert ! 😍

[@bremick]

Obviously, the playing is masterful.. But this instrument and Jonathan Scott's arrangement makes the piece phenomenal.. Never have I heard better

[@James_Bowie]

I enjoy both performances.

[@user-ee8qb2ge7e]

Very very unbelievable young man! Please, welcome with concert in Sant-Petersburg!!

[@hanszwitser8667]

Over dit orgel gelezen in “De nachtstemmer van Maarten ‘tHart Dit in combinatie met dit topstuk van Saint Saens. GEWELDIG

[@chel3SEY]

Gert van Hoef is a remarkable talent.

[@carlkruyswyk6245]

Another beautiful performance on a beautiful organ! Thank you for including a few snippets of the preparation of this piece - nice to hear your thoughts/comments as you go through that process - that was certainly a bonus! The smile and glance at Marjolein when you finally get the registration exactly the way you want it is priceless. Great teamwork!

[@capacityplus]

Gert & Marjolein are masters of registration.

Wonderful!!! I love the Finale from The Saint-Saens' Symphony No.3 !!! Congratulations!!!

[@JimJonesJr]

Bravo! That gave me goosebumps!

[@angel75020]

Bravo Gert! Je hebt de gevoeligheid die bij dit werk past voor orgel en orkest. Bedankt voor het delen van je liefde voor muziek.

[@rivermite1966]

Absolutely fantastic musicianship from an outstanding young man who demonstrates the versatility of an organ superbly, simply magnificent. Thank you so much.

[@jameskliewer5809]

Truly awesome! There's nothing like the organ, and as much of a thrill as it is to listen to, I know that performing a piece of this magnitude on the organ is personally demanding and rewarding beyond expression.

[@lindagrant8801]

A truly wonderful performance. Thank you so much.

[@bricedrake1972]

We are so enjoying your talent, Mr van Hoef. Thank you! BRAVO!

[@PHPJN7]

Excellent registration Gert

[@janetlindley4465]

Amazing! Always a joy to watch/listen to you play Gert. Thank you 🙂

[@geraldhegel5497]

A masterful and outstandingly beautiful organ transcription of my favorite symphony!!!

[@philippevanweyenbergh9822]

ik heb er koude rillingen van gekregen ! Amaai ...gewoon fantastisch !

[@marc49lewis]

Excellent. This is NO small accomplishment without the orchestra and piano present. Very good arrangement!

[@renutonaip]

I LOVE this piece!! BEAUTIFUL performance, Gert!!

[@charleskesner1302]

Beautiful and majestic.

An outstanding performance Gert - it took my breath away. Sincere thanks.

Beautiful playing, Gert.

[@annemackellar6293]

Wow! One of my favourite organ pieces played by my very favourite organist. Well done Gert. A great performance. The preparation snippets were charming.

[@guypiou9557]

Quand la beauté des choses, les talents artistiques, le travail, se croisent, alors, une forme de lumière, d’énergie, nous imprègne, jusqu'à nous toucher émotionnellement et reste en nous…

[@fotogme11]

Wonderful!

[@bilcal]

Beautifully performed! Thank you !

[@100scent_]

I've known him since around 2012, when he was a boy. he grew up so greatly... !

[@stewartcraker9282]

Best thing ever. Genius .

[@catwoman3680]

Really enjoyed that Gert. I have only ever heard it before as an orchestral version. You played so well on that beautiful sounding organ, it was sheer heaven. Now this will be another of my many favourites. Thank you for sharing.

[@metamurph]

excellent voicing and play

[@yfrontsguy]

Exquisite! Music from a composer who lived in my village in France.

[@MateusGedoz]

Once again my congratulations for this beautiful work!

[@richiejohnson]

Arranger Scott performs this also. I like both versions, and I'd love the piece even if played by a bad marching band! What a divine racket! Different passages in each version are differently revelatory. Very small differences, microseconds really, can have such a difference, esp as it moves from section to section. I love the photo of the composer at the organ at St. Denis in Paris. I think the old guy would be pleased with all.

[@jonboz7585]

I have Jonathan Scott’s recording of this piece on his “Summer” album. Excellent, as well.

[@macklinstaley678]

BRAVO What a beautiful piece of music, one of my favorites I never get tired of hearing it played. You are a genius.

[@kerrykikker]

One of my all time favourites. Magnificent work. chapeau! Congrats everyone on making this sublime video. I'll hear this in my dreams for months to come. merci, tout le monde. x

[@TerryP1922]

Gert, every time I hear you play I must proclaim " ENCORE"," ENCORE" you are the BEST there is!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I enjoy your music so. I love the fact that Marjolein is right there with you. What a team:)

[@viktoireleblank4279]

Magnifique!

[@josephwenderoth4713]

I keep coming back to this Wonderful Performance!!! Joe Wenderoth

[@tomg1247]

When Jonathon Scott first posted his video of this transcription of his I was truly blown away--and he played it from memory! His brother Tom always does a fantastic job producing the videos. I'm not sure who did the video work for this recording of Gert's but I would congratulate them for a job well done here as well. As for Gert, well, tremendous! The crispness of every note and the registrations were really remarkable.

[@patrickblondel982]

Comme d'habitude : ça prend aux tripes ! Bravo à vous deux

[@Jo-vf7qi]

What a talent. An amazing person....I enjoy watching and listening to you.

[@caldreise1057]

Someday i would enjoy sitting in one of your live concerts. But these videos will have to do for now. Besides i have a front row seat every time from this angle. Beautiful.....thanks so much.

[@mikehattan]

A breathless making performance ! Bravo Gert van Hoef!

[@edbolwijn3886]

2.05 : " kan ik zelf niet eens bijhouden wat ik doe" 😂 BRILJANT GEWOON 👏🏼👏🏼 11:05 : de intensiteit spat van het scherm af, zowel bij Marjolein als bij Gert. Wat een fantastisch muzikaal koppel. Chapeau 🎩

[@99SpidermanFan]

Magnifique Gert!!! Thank you so much for posting so often, your choice of pieces are a pleasure to listen to.

[@1947gaetano]

Ritengo questo giovane uno dei piu' bravi organisti contemporanei, questo brano di Sant Saens brilla di luce propria anche senza l'accompagnamento dell' orchestra !

[@rojostu1]

I have been waiting for this since the snippet you posted a week or two ago, worth the wait as per usual :)))))
