Oh, this is fantastic!!! Gert is giving this organ a true workout. Love the Festive Toccata. Thank you for sharing this gift of music today with us. Love the hand in the air and the smiles. Marjolein did a stellar job as the registrant.

[@GabrieleH137]

Although it was hard work for the organist, Gert mastered it brilliantly, as always. What a tremendous and at the same time festive toccata! Thank you, Gert, Marjolein and team, for continuing to delight us with the "Thursday specials".

Nice to see how many fun he have,it must be one of the best thing,love to play music and make the people happy with my music in the room!! I wish i can play that orgel but never ever i can learn it,so many difrent moves with all hands and foots are very very hard to learn it,that why i have many respect for people there can do it! I hope you understand what I need to "say"?! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

[@jackelineweststrate8971]

Mooi en vrolijk orgelstuk Gert en knap stukje registreerwerk van Marjolein, het lijkt wel sport dat je van de ene naar de andere kant moet hard lopen😊 Mooi orgel en goede akoestiek in de kerk👌

[@alancorley3675]

Love this !

[@gertverschoor6027]

Wat een leuke, vrolijke toccata. Applaus!

[@saltwatergal]

[@ravanderploeg4171]

Magistreus... kompliment!! Gert en....Marjolijn . Goede Thuisreis.

[@Railfan6675]

Very well done Gert and Marjolein. Cavaillé-Coll had great influence on the early Casavant organs built here in Canada, of which I have one.

[@sallywebb9270]

Oh wow!! A work out for the organ.....but also for Gert and Marjolein!! Thank you for this - it looks as if you enjoyed playing it, Gert. Great camera angles as always too. I hadn't heard of this composer - I'll be looking out for the name in future. Thank you for introducing me to him 😊

[@jonathanumstead4608]

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Gert et Madame Marjolein. C' est fantastique, as you you simply went to town on this beautiful organ in a beautiful church in the heart of France!! Thanks again for another wonderful work to thrill our hearing, minds and souls on GertsDay !!! 🙏😎🌴🎹🎶

[@organgh]

Genieten!

[@TerryP1922]

I thoroughly did enjoy it. I am on my eighth replay!!!! Thank you so very much. 🤗

[@johnwilson-mr6pw]

I'm not really sure who is the star here, Gert or Marjolein . Well of course, they were both fantastic !! Gert having a great time and Marjolein looking lovely as usual. BRAVO !!!!!

Thank you Gert and marjolein. Very imposant Peace.

[@edgartorbert819]

Gert and Marjolein conveyed great satisfaction with this performance, which is convincing enough for me that Gert nailed it. Enjoyable performance. Thank you for sharing.

[@TerryP1922]

Edgar, I was so mesmerized by them both, the footwork, and it felt like I was moving along with them in synchrony. Very enjoyable piece.

[@Nooticus]

What a stunning modern piece! So enthusiastic and beautiful!

[@megreynolds9701]

Always fun to see your responses Elizabeth. this really was festive, animated and wonderful to hear & see. Both of them were having a blast with their unique brand of musicianship!

[@elizabethdent1984]

@@megreynolds9701 Thank you. I enjoy Gert and Marjolein so much. It's not only their beautiful music, it's the joy and gentleness they live out. ❤️

[@elsaarmstrong-zp6ng]

Come to Royal Albert Hall, London Gert/Marjoline! Massive organ there ( can’t remember name ) Whole building trembles when it’s on full fff !! You would both go down a treat!

[@carmenrupprecht4163]

There is a lot of trust involved with this piece: trust that all of the practicing will pay off, trust that the registration changes are correct, trust that the pre-sets will work, trust that the registrant is exactly on task, trust that all the keys and pedals will play during the fast tempo. It all paid off 100%!

[@gerardbedecarter]

Wow !

[@philipkhln]

Very beautifully played, Gert. That must also have been a very exhausting concert for Marjolein if she had to run around the console the whole time. And I wonder what Gert told her at 4:25 :)

Now that's a fun marathon... 😅

At this location, it's also an aerobic workout for Marjolein!

[@kelvinsmallwood6315]

Brilliant playing. Love your facial expressions. when was this recorded as both of you still look young? Glad to hear & see you on the bench even if the video is old.

[@Marjolein-van-Hoef]

I do not know this composer: a fantastic piece played with enthusiasm. Marjolein needs a good supply of chocolate to build up her strength after her hard work!

[@edgartorbert819]

Going to get me some chocolate. Keith, thank you for leading me into temptation.

[@keithlackenby]

@@edgartorbert819 Do you remember this old Methodist Hymn? Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin; Each vict’ry will help you, Some other to win; Fight valiantly onward, Evil passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.

[@edgartorbert819]

@@keithlackenby I am an old Methodist, but I do not remember this hymn. In my small town, Southern church we sang every hymn cover-to-cover, so I am sure it is back there somewhere in my brain.
