Not many are gifted, Not many are talented, Sadly, not many really care, but for the few of us who do and love this music when we're blessed with the outpouring of gifted fingers, its as if all of heaven comes down and fills us...our hearts, minds, spirits, souls and bodies are left standing on tippy-toes, reaching higher to heaven but held back by earths forces...but one day when our time has come, the music will lift us, all the way to the heart of God~ RIGHT where this music comes from! Heaven will be filled with music, but will never stop...who can ever tire of hearing the heart- beat of God? Thank YOU Gert van Hoef for sharing your gifts, sharing Gods heartbeat with the world!

[@TerryP1922]

I recognized the one song in the middle @ 12:23 as your Fantasie uit de Toccata Heer, U bent miji leven that was on your last CD played on that beautiful organ in Hasselt. One of my favorite songs of yours.

[@dariocontini4094]

ciao ciao ciao

[@capacityplus]

@@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags So well said. I was one of those people who had no real attraction to the pipe organ, preferring electronic emulating orchestra. Then I discovered Gert. Everything changed.

[@maartenvg89]

Hee, das mooi dat ik dat lees Gert! Ik kom morgen zeker langs om te luisteren. Ik was net weer vol in vervoering door het stuk ‘Heer u bent mijn leven’ (het lied dat ik zong bij mijn belijdenis). Door de manier waarop je het speelt lijkt het rechtstreeks uit de hemel te komen, diep geraakt, voor de zoveelste keer! Bedankt, keep posting!

I can't imagine that you have any idea of how much joy, happiness and love you send into the universe.

Pure Gert. Thank U for sharing your heart... around the whole world. Your joy, you fun and yes, your magic. Thank U...U...U...U. Love from the USA.

[@annemackellar6293]

There is no organ on earth that does not respond and sing when Gert plays. Breathtaking.

[@jerrycallender9927]

Have you experienced his improvisation of 'Land of Hope and Glory' on the Liverpool Willis & Sons organ? ...and then there's his artistry coming alive on St. Baaf's magnificent organ.

[@annemackellar6293]

@@jerrycallender9927 Absolutely. To have Prof Ian Tracey as your Registrant is so special. The St Baaf's organ is sensational, and with Gert at the keyboard, it is truly magical.

[@jeffgordon7792]

You are quite the master of the playing the you do. God bless you. Keep up the talent. Jeff Gordon. Savannah , Georgia. USA. Please come visit our area. I'd be happy to shake your hand and hug you. Once again God bless you and your family.

[@654Geoff]

If organs have a heart, I think so, they must love this young man.

[@TerryP1922]

Gert, it is always a pleasure to listen to you play on those beautiful organs there. Such talent that you only need to look at the keyboard periodically as you are pulling out the various stops. You are truly a gifted and talented musician. I look forward to more of your videos that your father shares with your fans on KZbin for us to enjoy. I see it was from three years ago and you have gotten better as the years have passed. 🤗

[@MrKeys57]

You are fantastic, soon to be the world greatest church organist, if not already!! Greetings, Levi

[@peteacher52]

Unprepared only in terms of having pre-prepared registration patterns available for assistants, the best organists are always ready to improvise, and Gert is one of the younger masters of the art in the Dutch tradition. Most encouraging!

What an INCREDIBLE GIFT God has entrusted to you, Gert. What joy it obviously brings you. I only hope you can know that the joy is multiplied to the delight of those blessed to hear your music making. You brighten a beautiful corner here on KZbin.

How awesome it must be to sit at the helm of such a magnificent instrument and navigate it with so much ease and enjoyment. Absolutely amazing.

[@organbuilder272]

Don't forget that this young fellow has been playing since he was 14. He has had an excellent education and is an accomplished organist with several recordings and concert tours to his credit.

[@88keyes]

@@organbuilder272 Yes Robert, as one of his top fans, I am well aware of this. Even though, it is an awesome experience to have an entire orchestra at your fingertips, for him, and also for us.

[@kaasmeester5903]

A joy to watch as well as to hear: the guy is obviously enjoying himself.

[@Engineer9736]

robert shaw Playing your whole life does not make such genius. Only partly. I play since 8 and no where near this level. It has to be in your genes + play your whole life.

[@organbuilder272]

@@Engineer9736 Hi there. I would disagree. Practice is one thing. Remember that this boy started very late compared to many accomplished organists - 6 years less than your experience. Yet he studied and I am certain that his teachers had a lot to do with it. He has the fingers as well. It is the answer to - How do you play in Carnegie hall - Practice, Practice, Practice. Perhaps Gert is "Gifted" but there is no question that it to a lot of practice and dedication to catch up to others his age. The ability to sight read is not an innate skill, that must be learned.

[@dixonsindorset]

Ach, wat leuk om je weer te zien in je spijkerbroek en hoodie, gewoon aan het rommelen. Doet me denken aan dat filmpje in Liverpool Cathedral op de Willis. Toen leek je echt op een kindje op zijn verjaardag met een berg cadeautjes. Gert, blijf dat kindje in je koesteren, vriend. Mooi.

Thank You Gert!

[@pierreruwet8479]

Bonjour, Je ne résiste pas à laisser un commentaire sur cette extraordinaire prestation dans notre belle cathédrale. I love the idea of improvisation that is closer to my previous practice at a incomparable lower level. Perhaps the fact that this was not a concert with a public give less pressure and let you experiment everything coming in your hands ou mind. It is really a pleasure to see yours when playing this. Thank you also for sharing these videos where we can see you hands, body and face when playing. From my young age, I always love to see organist or pianist hands when playing ... KZbin allow us to be all at the closest places. Not sure I could have the same place if I had the chance to see your next concert in a church in Belgium. Pierre

[@livesteam]

A very talented young man playing ont the fantastic organ of the Cathedral of my home town ... what a wonderful experience ... I hope you will come again and again to the SS. Michael & Gudula Cathedral to play.

This is definitely the work of a talented organist, but it just doesn't sound the same as the GH we watched grow into the talent level we see here. I guess the early songs just became too simple for Gert and growth is always a part of life.
