J.S. Bach - Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV 645 - Gert van Hoef - Stephanuskerk Hasselt

[@andrewstrathdee1469]

Gert, Many of us know these pieces very well indeed - what is great about your videos is not only do we hear them being played exceptionally well, but we can see it being done, which increases the wonder of those of us non-players to see the skill needed to execute it so well. Thank you!

[@edelahaye]

Very pleasant. The spirit of the choir of BWV 140 is preserved. No fancy notes, no showing off, just the real notes.

[@annemackellar6293]

Such a beautiful piece, played with such commitment and love. Perfect as a gentle nightcap! Thank you both so much. Bach sounds particularly sumptuous played on this organ. I love it.

[@jamesmcbride6304]

What a beautiful gift this guy has been given, just thankful that he shares it with us, it's an utter delight to listen to. Thankyou gert.

[@artfuldodger4850]

To my mind, one of Bach’s loveliest pieces, beautifully played. Thank you.

[@TerryP1922]

Gert and Marjolein, you two are an awesome team and thanks to Pops van Hoef for the video. It is such a refreshing song to listen to first thing in the morning here in the US. You continue to amaze me with your various styles of musical selections. Truly a gifted young man. Thank you for playing for those who can't see you in person. Goed gedaan!

[@dirksmits4421]

Excellent as always Thanks Gert and Marjolein

[@dannieto1453]

Is it his father who takes the videos? How very cool!

[@TerryP1922]

@@dannieto1453 I believe he is the one doing them. I think it is cool too! :)

[@dannieto1453]

I didn't know that before, @@TerryP1922 It's touching to see how close they are, then. Yay!

[@stuartrichardson5699]

Beautifully played love the registration , what a wonderful organ

[@dirksmits4421]

Thanks Gert and Marjolein Excellent as always

[@jeraldbartlett463]

Another superb example supporting fact that there is a simplicity beyond complexity.

[@kerrykikker]

A very nice instrument, great to hear it today. Sound feels as if it's from another place in time. You do such good service to the world of music. Lovely performance. Thanks to you both.

[@strauventony6421]

Zeer mooi gespeeld een van mijn lievelingsstukken en dan met uw echtgenote aan uw zijde ik heb er keer naar geluisterd dank Tony Strauven België

[@joergsrom6221]

My respect and congratulations. Well it more than well done. I see you smile while playing, Yes Bach gives joy to all, you as me. Thanks a lot Thomas

[@kurtdsauer]

Gert, Thank you for this favorite! I like the pace of your rendition. The acoustics of the room complement the sound of this instrument's lovely speech. I appreciate all that you share with us here.

[@jimr.5580]

My favorite J. S. Bach piece. Thanks, Gert!

[@tatianamardari7738]

Vielen Dank, jedesmal ein Genuss Sie zu hören!

[@kiqw]

This great piece requires three brains, one for each hand plus the pedals. Ha! Wonderfully played here.

[@tomhess5577]

Delightful selection to listen too early in the morning in Wisconsin. Thank you Gert.

[@Modeltnick]

Perfectly played! Love these performances very well accompanied with your assistant! Thank you so much!

[@jeanlucas3963]

Bonne interprétation, comme d'habitude. Merci Gert.

[@janetlindley4465]

Such a gentle piece, beautifully played Gert. Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@davidwakefield8267]

That was just sublime Gert. Thank you both.

[@alfredonocera7024]

One of the best ever interpretation of "Wachet auf". Commendable technique and exquisite interpretation. So faraway the days when a young boy started exploring a keyboard in his bedroom, and became one of the first organ KZbinr. Congratulations, Gert. Ad maiora!

[@dannieto1453]

His first organ was in his bedroom?

[@dannieto1453]

Oops! That kinda came out wrong!

[@wolfgangweber2516]

what new great young man, my respect and love to you gert van hoef

[@callemoslosbrutose4807]

THANKS A LOT , YOU HAVE THE DIVINE SPARK. YOUR PERFORMING IS HEAVENLY.

Prachtig Gert!!! Zaterdag in bellingwolde ook al zo van je genoten

[@katsu1251]

Dank je wel/paljon kiitoksia ❤️ From Finland🇫🇮

[@sbutler409]

My favorite piece from Bach, not sure why but it is very moving. Thank you for this recording.

[@organblower]

Schübler chorale prelude No. 1 Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme is my favourite of the five Schübler chorale preludes. Much more difficult that it appears to the casual viewer, it is definitely worth the work you have put into it over the past nine years. Thank you.

[@karlrovey]

Any time it's a trio by Bach, it's a lot more difficult than it looks.

[@domenicoalemanno7783]

Bravo, esecuzione eccezionale, strumento adatto a questo brano.

[@fotogme11]

Simple in its beauty. Perfectly executed. Love it!

[@marcellosanguineti8966]

Pace and singing equally amusing. Thanks.

[@richardwilliamjohnson8566]

Thanks for posting videos from this instrument! Great performance, keep it up 👍😁

Bravissimo Gert! Tutta la tua persona esprime brillantemente la profondità del repertorio bachiano!

Thank you from South Carolina, usa

[@ralphturner3798]

Wonderful! Thanks, Gert.

[@doreenharkeharke2856]

Beautiful, how I love pipe organ music, it’s my favourite music,, I’ve seen the organ, but did play on the organ,

[@fernhabecker819]

Perfectly beautiful! I love the single note with the soft pedal undertones! Thank you!!

[@tonm.3169]

Prachtig Gert (en Marjolein), dank voor het delen. Van genoten.

[@nicoverstraete7483]

My favorite! Thx !

[@davelow7586]

Just beautiful! Thanks.

[@mariadruzina3392]

Sei organista più bravo del mondo, ti seguo sempre, insieme con la tua compagna siete meravigliosi grazie

[@TerryP1922]

Maria, Sono totalmente d'accordo con te :)

[@albertwessels71]

prachtig,dank Gert.

[@alisonmoffitt1051]

one of my favourites

[@ThePantherin75]

Very impressive..Beautiful played with your heart...that piece looks heavily to play...no, I am correcting myself 😎: It is very difficult to play and shows your ability to play the organ! 👍

[@TylerAceOfficial]

Awesome performance dude

[@wayned8758]

Beautiful performance. I am especially fond of this piece by Bach for personal reasons. Thank you for doing such a great job! Wayne De Witte

[@hermanhermitz9101]

Organist looks kinda nerdy. But actually the world needs more people like him.

[@tonybutton3197]

As ever, a joy to hear. And see. Thank you.

[@valeriypisklov8970]

Bravo!

[@gramps2matt]

Gert, I sang along with this. It's part of a Tenor sectional solo from the cantata that I have done in church on several occasions.

[@MrMaximilianno]

BRAVO!!!!

[@dannieto1453]

Quite good, Gert! And while I much admire Marolein's GREAT beauty, I am always looking for Jan. They both add to the beauty of the videos. :-) Keep Marjolein but get Jan, too. Mainly, you're good!

[@organblower]

Well played Gert. Of course I miss the camaraderie between you and Jan. Too bad Dutch organs don't electrify and install computer capture systems, just leaving the keyboard and pedalboard transmission tracker. You could then practice by yourself.

[@richardblocher599]

Amazingly Difficult piece, made to sound Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.RB

[@spanische_trompete]

Eine sehr schöne Version!

[@bernadettevanimpe4579]

Dank je wel Gert, een lievelingsstuk van mij!

[@robertstorlind2302]

30 thumbs down = 30 competing organists too shy to post a better video, methinks :) And, thank you for the music, Gert and Marjolein!

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Many thanks for the upload.

[@RichardE3046]

Ik blijf het knap vinden om 3 verschillende melodieën tegelijk te spelen met handen en voeten. Heb als trombonist al moeite soms mijn hoofd te houden bij mijn eigen partijtje 😂

[@eccentricorgan]

bon travail bien fait

Обожаю органную музыку, спасибо. Я улетаю когда это слушаю , я где-то в другом измерении

[@micheldecrop3229]

I'm a big admiror of organ music and would like to hear you play one day in Koksijde during the Organ Festival. Try to strengthen your back while playing...just worried about your condition!

[@gcatk]

Sent schon!

[@kerrykikker]

Your videos are so beautifully composed, shot and edited. Do you do this yourselves, or do you have a friend or professional who takes care of your production? May I also ask what equipment & software you use to make your videos? My compliments to the steady hands behind presenting your music videos on You Tube. They are so easy to enjoy.

[@flemmingranch8777]
