Live concert vanuit de Breepleinkerk in Rotterdam - Gert van Hoef en Martin Mans

[@capacityplus]

I'm really enjoying this wonderful concert. Thank you, guys.

[@voldan7740]

I love the thought that one day Gert will be the older - sorry, the mature - one in a concert like this with a highly gifted young man or woman out of the next generation - and I will have been able to follow him all his way, see him getting better and better. That is what youtube makes a real enrichment to me. Thank you so much for this wonderful arts dialogue and every single concert or heartening little piece of music!

[@biagiologaldo9940]

Due Organi, Due Maestri per un grande concerto! Grazie!

[@elizabethdent1984]

How did I miss this concert? I sure am enjoying it today. I loved the other one Gert and Martin played. It was so beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marie-francebrillet5723]

I'm sorry. I don't speak your language but my language is the music. I am a French little organist and I'm enjoy your improvisation so continue... Thank you!!

[@SternDrive]

Martin played without glasses ! You guys did a great concert. Please do it again, perhaps in a grand cathedral. I have tears in my eyes!

[@williamschock8709]

Have been following Gert since he was very young. What a wonderful talent!

[@jaapknegtmans8532]

Martin en Gert. Genoten Bedankt.graag voor herhaling vatbaar.

[@hanshangoor2285]

Voor mij zijn deze 2 zeer bekende organisten, die een enorm scala aan pracht orgelmuziek spelen. Dit doet mij vreugd, ook blijdschap en rust, zij spelen op voor mij het mooiste muziek instrument wat er is,

[@stephensnyder1016]

I loved the energy the beauty the skill and the joy with which you played together. That last piece was especially Wild

[@annemackellar6293]

Thank you for another spectacular concert. The respect and friendship you have for each other is a joy to see. No one steals the limelight, but rather you support and encourage each other. I admire you both so much. Thanks for the music.

[@jonathanumstead4608]

Gert and Martin, so wonderful to hear you both playing together again, whether duets to start and finish, or the glorious solos in between!! And the commentary to help us know each work even better. Thanks much for the refreshing concert!!🎶🎹🙏

Bravo Messieurs 👋👋👋Merci 🎶💕🎶💕

[@hectoralejandrofalco5442]

Gracias, maravilloso

[@user-love.j.s.bach-mayumi]

It was a great concert ! The last piece seemed difficult to play. But both of you were playing the organ happily. It was really nice !

[@stephaniecluff1893]

Thank you for sharing your talents and joy with each of us so freely. It was wonderful to hear both of you today from Oregon USA. Your smiles are contagious.

[@shadowman3320]

Good to see another Oregonian enjoying this wonderful music.

[@susancook4604]

Thanks Gert and Martin for the lovely concert. I really enjoyed it. I even got my daughter to listen with me! Hope for more when you two can get together again!

[@josephwenderoth4713]

My sincere Thank YOU!

[@wmewan2711]

Gert, It is a great joy to support you through Paypal every week. With our local orchestra on hold, it is nice to be able to support your talent. Please keep up the great work.

[@TerryP1922]

Bill, I agree with you.

[@janknijpstra4918]

mooi en zo zamen prachtig ik geniet er van

[@theovdm7954]

Gert, je hebt weer fantastisch gespeeld!

[@fokkebaarda]

Great, that despite our very own 'year of pest and cholera' musicians find ways to play for us, life, and after the more severe months of total lock down, again in concerthalls and churches. Great to hear you together again - I had the pleasure to hear the two of you before in the Laurenskerk. Great to see this beautiful church still standing strong and in use, after demolish it or find a more commercial exploitation. A pity the other organ was not really shown; I couldn't find anything about it on the internet either. But thanks for a great concert.

[@jacoboVE_Cultura]

Wow vaya duo maravilloso interpretacion magistral una gozada para los sentidos un abrazo desde España

[@TerryP1922]

Gert, you and Martin did it again by giving us a “stellar” concert of organ perfection. Just like a breath of fresh air that is so needed right now with the uncertainties existing globally. I hope you two pair up again soon. The program was perfect. Thank you both.

[@annemackellar6293]

Hear, hear Terry. It was wonderful.

[@carlkruyswyk6245]

Hi Terry - I ended up missing this live concert (work), and after I watched it on Sunday, I see I missed an awesome concert! The finale was just tremendously amazing! Both Martin and Gert were having so much fun, they were grinning like Cheshire cats :) So fun to watch! I feel so blessed to have discovered Gert here, as well meeting and chatting with the extended "family" that watches him every concert. There are so many wonderful people in this "family"!

[@TerryP1922]

Carl, I was getting concerned about you. Like you, I feel blessed to with the extended family from all over the world. Glad to know you are ok.

[@annemackellar6293]

@@carlkruyswyk6245 Carl. So glad you are OK. Missed you at the concert. Glad you enjoyed the concert. The two men seem to have a great respect for each other's talent, and it shows. Keep safe and take care.

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Hi Gert and Martin! Thank you both for a wonderful concert! You play so beautiful together! I love it! Take care both of you! With love! Peter in Sweden 😁👍💖

Thank you Martin and Gert, you made a beautifull saturday evening nearly perfect.

[@tomhess5577]

What a joy!!! Your concert was delightful. Always look forward to seeing you again Gert.

[@l.randall3189]

Leroy Randall, Perth, Australia. Gert and Martin, many heartfelt thanks for an extraordinary concert! Today is Gayle and my 57th wedding anniversary! Attended church in the morning, had dinner with our family--4 children, their spouses, and a dozen grandchildren (and one great-gt-grandchild on the way, and finished the day listening to your concert. Wonderful! Truly a day to remember. Thanks very much indeed. God bless you both!

[@TerryP1922]

Happy Belated Anniversary Leroy and Gayle, may you have many more to come. 🌸

What a fine afternoon here in Memphis was provided by Gert and Martin.

[@yofelipe1]

Thank you for another good show, sorry that we missed last week, tech is as tech is. Missed seeing Marjolein. Was fantastically entertained this week by you and Martin. Phil in Butte Montana USA

[@powervegan3403]

Es war für mich ein Hochgenuss, vielen Dank.

[@gerritvandendragt8955]

Prachtig, zo jullie te horen en zien spelen.

[@WicherBos]

Once we control the virus, and can have real life concerts again, I would love to sit in one of these duo concerts with two organs in full swing! Loved it every minute :)

[@eameece]

I discovered the Belier Toccata some years ago from Gert's video, and learned to play it. Very fun piece. The theme is quite similar to Bach's d minor too.

[@thomas-xj1hs]

Excellent!

[@noelbolingbroke-kent3009]

The experience of an older and a younger organist with such great talents playing together was a triumph, especially their extending the hand of personal and professional friendship in this way. They make a great partnership. But it would be better if we could understand what Martin said. Very few people understand Dutch. Perhaps Marjolein could translate on the chat?

[@carlkruyswyk6245]

There are quite actually quite few people that watch Gert that are bilingual. Those of us that are should start summarizing what Martin says in english. I will try to do some translating in their next concert together.....

[@noelbolingbroke-kent3009]

Thank you Carl. We English have shamefully poor linguistic skills. I, and many others, would like to understand what Martin says. In Vienna, at the State Opera, the words are translated on a small television screen in six languages so that we stupid English can listen to the music and understand the words.

[@TerryP1922]

@@noelbolingbroke-kent3009 I too would like to understand what Martin is saying. I can pick up a few words, but my brain doesn't go that fast with the translations. :)

[@shadowman3320]

@@noelbolingbroke-kent3009 Don't apologize for poor linguistic skills. We Americans are worse, I think. Gert does a fine job and perhaps he could add a translation to Martin's remarks.

[@wmewan2711]

Gert, Of course your fans suggest music from time to time. I guess this is as good as any way to communicate. Anyway I can't imagine a greater improvisation effort than to work through Barber's Agnus Dei (Adagio for Strings) opus 11. This is a molto adagio piece for choir with the most amazing and strong efforts from all registers. But I can hear it in an amazing way already with you at the bench. Just a suggestion with so many hymns under your belt.

[@jgdmlw]

Beautiful

[@jonathanumstead4608]

Also, you gave each other a bit of a break from turning pages with the improvisational pieces before the duet to end the concert. Marjolein was missed today, but she'll be back again, soon!! 👌

[@tresorr100]

Bello. When you come to Nicaragua bring your friend Martin too.

[@sallyjohansson6045]

Where is there a pipe organ in Nicaragua? Been in several churches and cathedrals there, but not seen a decent instrument. I haven’t been in Managua though.

Welcome back really good

[@SternDrive]

What kind of brain is required to play the who piece with out sheet music...maybe lots and lots of practice. Wonderful

[@eameece]

That second Asma piece echoes Bach's Toccata in F

[@sallyjohansson6045]

Listening to your concert from smoky California while helping my husband split wood for the winter. I like the pre concert piece you play very much. Is it an improvisation or can it be purchased as sheet music? Thanks to you both. Love your concerts!

[@MrBlueStudios]

It’s called “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” one of my favorite performances from Gert.

[@arzamumma1202]

Question for Gert....when Martin is on the 3 manual organ he taps or punches into that white panel located above right end of upper manual what is it, what does it do ??? Is the 2 manual a pipe organ or an electronic organ ? Are both organs played during church services ?

[@contrappunto_]

Gert, I'd like to have YOUR Queen of Sheba version. where can I find it? thank you

[@freddegrunt8631]

There are several of it on KZbin. Here is one, recorded 5 years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rCaYmJeZyZncU. Search for Gert van Hoef queen for more.

[@eugenetrollip751]

Wow, jammer ek het die live stream gemis.

[@theovdm7954]

Martin Mans moet natuurlijk weer een beetje interessant doen. Veel kijkers en luisteraars die Gert volgen zullen ongetwijfeld zich afvragen waar dat goed voor is. Martin , concentreer je op de noten in het boek is mijn advies en vergeet de show die je vanjewelste er om heen maakt. Het gaat niet om jou. Enkel om de muziek.
