Let's just take a moment to appreciate this guy playing an entire orchestral piece with his own four limbs! AMAZING!

[@martingolembiovsky1583]

Fantastic! I can't find a suitable word. You have achieved the aura of the masterpiece as Tchaikovsky would have intended it and at the same time, you wonderfully demonstrate the power of organ! For Tchaikovsky and organ lover, you open door to another dimension.

[@davebinnie4257]

It seems Gert can transcribe almost any piece for the organ! His playing has completely renewed my interest in pipe organ music. Outstanding.

[@nabs069]

Absolutely incredible and wonderful performance!! Many Thanks!!

[@stephenfarias213]

[@perciodaviesschmitz123]

Magnífico! Bravo!

[@jerrybeck3864]

A favorite work done well by a favorite organist. Thank you Gert!

[@epincion]

Brilliant! Gert you have the ability to use the organ to convey to the listener the sense of the whole orchestra in these renditions of the great orchestral pieces that are part of the canon of classical music. Not only that but you stamp your own unique musical genius on each interpretation. Bravo to you and to Marjolein - without whom it would not be possible to produce such greatness.

[@newhavenneil]

'Oh my sainted aunt' !!! That finale..pedalwork….the SOUND of that magnificent organ, played by such a talented youngman and his lovely wife. Just......magnificent.

[@francoaragosta4285]

Exactly right, Foley. Thank you.

[@Bachfreund]

My GOD! You really ARE a GENIUS! I think you may have broken new ground in the art of transcription with this STUNNING, absolutely GRIPPING, intensely EXCITING, incredibly TUCHING rendition of this most stirring of all orcestral overtures ever writen. God BLESS you Boy! You are one of the ANOINTED for Our Time for sure -- almpst a Latter-Dy MOZART so gifted are you with musical facility, vivid imagination, and great GREAT H_E_A_R_T.

[@ScenicDepot]

This piece is done gorgeously, as always. Please tell Mrs. van Hoef that we appreciate her very much as well.

[@josefpalenberg8151]

Marjolein und Gert sind in der Kette der sakralen Musik zwei Edelsteine 💎

[@kansascyty2993]

Very very good shert gut

[@pedrodecastromartin9253]

He oído esta obertura algunas decenas de veces porque me encantó desde la primera vez que la escuché. La interpretación de Gert, es sublime y siempre al acabar de oírla, estoy con los vellos de punta. Gracias Gert por tan impresionante grabación y a Marjolein por su apoyo hacia tí.

[@AK-lm9ly]

Absolutely amazing!!!! Thanks!

[@TerryP1922]

Excellent, you hit every key with precision! WOW!!!!

BRAVO BRAVO, Gert and Marjolein! A Triumph performance and recording. It's hard to imagine how much work was involved in the transcription alone, plus all the rehearsal. Your technique absolutely shines! Thank you!

[@alfredboddison6090]

[@Zoom_1012]

Great performance, Gert.

[@mkshffr4936]

Would never have thought that even possible. Wow.

[@williamsass1520]

oh brilliant Gert. Loved it.

[@suzannelebizarre5705]

Wunderbar! You have improved so much since I was first aware of you and your playing! Fantastic job!

[@Hanselebare]

Als ik Gert hoor spelen is mijn dag weer goed. Mooi Mooi Mooi.

[@RayAlstrom]

Brilliant! Bloody brilliant! Genius.

[@JeffDSM-px1zs]

I grew up listening this played by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in an outside auditorium in upper Michigan with an array of cannon, musket fire, drums and whatever else they could throw in the pot. It was usually played on July 4. I have many fond memories of this masterpiece by Tchaikovsky and I now have a new one, played brilliantly by a master organist, Gert van Hoef. Gert if I may say so, you obviously love what you do, and it shows in virtually every piece you play, but here, here, Mr van Hoef, you shine. Thank you for sharing something you obviously love. Awesome !!! - P.S. I'd love to hear what you would do with Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries... Jeff Frixen

[@bobburns1431]

Another masterful performance,beautifully played.

[@liu6090]

GERT, YOU ARE VERY GOOD.

[@erikeinarlarsen9061]

Wahnsinn! Deine Interpretation ist großartig. Freue mich auf jedes Video von Dir!

[@peebrain69]

Wow! An interesting arrangement wonderfully executed. Thanks for sharing!!

[@alsenwulf]

Die Ouverture super umgesetzt 😌 😍 wahnsinnig schwierig, umso größer die Leistung 😍 und noch dazu das wunderbare Zusammenspiel zwischen Gert und Marjolein zu beobachten, das macht das Ganze zum Ohren- und Augenschmaus 😌 😍

[@travishawke]

I loved it. Great recording!

[@jimmartin181]

Very good adaptation. Nearly sounded like the full symphonic version...no other instrument could even come close, especially when commanded by GH!

[@blackmore56]

Excellent my friend, very masterful. We especially enjoyed your little laugh after the fluff with the bass pedals and you carried on wonderfully, bravo. Respect from the UK.

[@hawkeye454]

I'm a simple man....I see a Gert van Hoef video, I like. This truly is lovely!!

[@sergioalves642]

Wonderfull!! To say the minimum.

[@renutonaip]

BRAVO!! wonderful performance! I wish Dick Johnson were still here to hear this performance....

[@jonathanpenney]

Glorious!!!!

[@derekshepherd5683]

A wonderful performance! Best wishes from Melbourne, Australia.

[@craigchingren-hamann9700]

Brilliant playing! Bravo!!! Now all it needs is cannons and bells ringing!!!

[@irajayrosen4792]

Craig Chingren-Hamann Here's an idea - get the church to start ringing their bells at the right time!

[@dalerider3124]

YES!

[@JRSSchattenberg]

And then fire some 64' bombardes!

[@craigchingren-hamann9700]

A bell peal - perfect!

[@litoboy5]

AMAZING !!!

[@fotogme11]

Wonderful song, beautifully played!!

[@MateusGedoz]

Congratulation, was perfect!

[@danielueblacker9118]

Better then perfect, a pleasure.

[@karlpersson7329]

Till Anne lie. Tack för alla dessa tio år du är värd ett glas vin på lördag. Tack kram Karlo ottjiski persson

[@newhavenneil]

It's not often we see Marjolein reacting to the music, normally she is concentrating on Gert, but here she allows herself to be carried along with the rest of us with the sheer magnificence of this rendition.

[@pauljames5914]

I've been trying my whole life to gether to play this composition and can barely get past the first part. An amazing feat that very few organists can accomplish! .

[@harryklink9353]

Bravourstukje van grote klasse...geweldig Gert.👍👍👍

[@schoolvangoch]

Perfect !!!

[@karlbahlmann9772]

Wunderbares Zusammenspiel, große Orgel. Danke Euch Beiden!

[@johnferguson4089]

WOW! What a performance, brilliant work thanks Gert

[@limitstoprogress]

Absolutely magnificent!

[@stuartrichardson5699]

1st time to hear this on a organ ..Beautiful

[@jorgbischoff7471]

Anyone who can play this piece, move ten fingers and two feet separately and be point on , should be able to fly a space craft, no problem. Kudoos. Amazing.

[@beathermann6039]

I think it is also about knowing which insturment is best for what kind of music, historical period, composer etc. I like what Gert is doing, incredible! And there are wonderful churches and orgues in The Netherlands, wow.

[@arjenboeijenga117]

Geraardsbergen is in Belgium

[@catherinemorris4310]

Ridiculously good! I was wondering how you would handle the big contrasts. The answer: beautifully!

[@christophernorton33]

Excellent Bravo

[@richardsmith7004]

This awesome piece alone is worth the price of the CD. The 1800s produced the best music ever ("the Concert of Europe"). After Max Reger, the music went to pot along with the world (wars and genocide). Thank God Gert, Sebastian Heindl, the Jussen Brothers and many others were born!

[@dominiquedescottes8314]

Quand le grandiose et le sublime s'unissent ce ne peut être que grâce a MONSIEUR GERT VAN HOEF RESPECT

[@Knightly_Artworks]

Good music, amazing talent, and wholesome comment section. This is awsome

[@aliewessels282]

Ik heb het al een paar keer beluisterd,mooi man,dank v.h.plaatsen.

[@borislodl8746]

Tohle je síla. Díky Gertovi a Marjolein !

[@peartable]

Overture 1812 van P. Tchaikovsky has always been a better opera to listen to... thank you .

[@jgroot5617]

[@teodorgodtfredteistedal9780]

Excellent!

[@marsonbar]
