I’m 84 years old,I live in England,and I’ve just discovered you ! The Conquest of Paradise was the piece you were playing at the time,and now I can’t get the theme out of my mind ! Immediately,I pressed the subscribe button,and I’m working my way through your performances. I’m not a believer in God,but if I were,I would believe that you have been blessed with an amazing God given talent,God or not,from whatever the source,you are most definitely blessed !

Dear Gert, I am a 69 year old Great Grandmother. I am sooooo proud of you and cry when I hear you play. I live with terrible pain, inability to sleep. I go to U tube and listen to you play with volume up and muscles relax, tightness melts away. My favorite is your Conquest of Paradise- Rolltide Hope Yiruma. Thank God for sending an Angel with medicine that does really work. P. Thurmond, McDonough, Ga., USA

BRAVO, GERT!!!! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVO! I'm amazed at Jan's ability to keep up with the stops! What an ear he has! Fantastic Team!! Bravo!

All of us who love the 'serious' organ repertoire had best get down on our knees and pray the astonishinly talented young man doesn't get seduced by the populist repertiore and waste his talent on works unworthy of his attention.

This is a wonderful demonstration of Gert's improvisational skills! I wish I knew more about the occasion, which is listed as "Church night". Here's my interpretation: people are milling around, enjoying fellowship and conversations when Gert and Jan begin their "impromptu improvisation". Initially, they think "Oh, someone is playing the organ". Soon it becomes very quiet as people realize it's not just "someone playing the organ", but what they are hearing is pure musical genus.

Love the team work in this piece. Gert, It's is beautiful to see you smiling and interacting with Jan. Well done. I watch all you stuff, no one can make the organ talk like you guys. 😄

Gert, It’s always a pleasure to hear you play. You are going to be one of the great organists of our time. Your playing is inspiring, and your choice of registration is just perfect. Thank you.

Gert, keep smiling at the camera! It makes such a difference in your videos. We mere earthlings can relate to the smiling angel at the keyboard.

Such passionate music making is appreciated worldwide. Thank you very much Gert. You're the very best, indeed.

WOW WONDERFUL, TO GOD THE GLORY. God bless you.

Registrants and page turners are so under-rated!

Vanuit Friesland ,hartelijk dank. Geweldig wat een prachtige muziek.

So hard to tire of this. So at one in his element. Such beauty in his playing and the ever vigilant Jan administering with such aplomb . . .

Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the KZfaq world. I truly enjoy listening to you play, and Jan does an excellent job of letting us hear the true voices of this beautiful instrument.

Goed werk,JAN!!!

The more I hear this I want to hear it again,Gert you are a master

I could watch and listen to you all day

Thank you Gert & jan For a wanderfull Performace God Bless You both

Peter Ladizki Superb, you never fail to impress us with your many improvisations, and the fact you can smile and have fun doing what you love. God has truly bless you.

Gert, you are such an inspiration. And when you grin at your registrant -- so much fun.

Absolutely a masterpiece! I listen to this all the time...at work and at home. I've actually made a few trips to the Netherlands, but spent more time around band and street organs. Awesome work Gert!

La joie qui se lit sur le visage fait tellement plaisir ! On est gagné par cet enthousiasme quand le rythme s'accélère, l'envie de battre la mesure avec le pied .... GRAND BRAVO ! The joy on your face is so much fun ! One is won by this enthusiasm when the pace accelerates, the desire to beat the measure with the foot .... BIG BRAVO !

Bravo!!! Thank you for sharing your talents & teamwork.

Please come to America and do a concert. Preferably at the Washington National Cathedral because it's right here in my backyard. :)

You are a really wonderful young man ! Best wishes from Chile !

OMG. Hundredth time. Sleepless nights going over his playing, his ease at the keyboard, and enjoying his fellow friends. I will go to my death bed hearing his glorious music renderings . . . .

WOW, WOW, WOW, first time I've listed to this piece. Wonderful. I play the organ, (not at this level) but I would be exhausted after playing that organ. Sounds GREAT.

Beautifuly played Gert. Your enthousiasm and energy are a breath of fresh air. And your talent is obvious. Thanks for posting such great pieces!

Een genot om naar te luisteren! Erg mooi gespeeld.

i pray that before I die I will get a chance to meet Gert to thank him so, so much!!

You and Jan should go on tour. Please to the U.S.

What an incredible young feller. Such a talent, bet his hands are well insured......

What a musical talent you have. May God bless you.

You can see in his behaviour, this guy has 'it'...brilliance. His improvisations are so great, so inventive...there are not 'too' many, who can do excactly this.

Gert sei sempre splendido

Very Nice Sound very well done

Love the intensity I feel of both you and Jan. Incredible!

Wow! What I wouldn't give to be there for this

Gert you are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It is so delightful to listen to a young genius playing a such master instrument. He is a living genius with the inspiration to play some of the best performances in earth! This is a perfect example to new generations. Best regards.

I did some research, and found that I was very close! "Kerkennacht" or "Church Night" is a time when many churches are open to visitors who come to explore and learn about them. This was, indeed, a spontaneous improvisation by Gert at the Chapel Church at Alkmaar, played on their 250 year old Müller pipe organ.

This was so nice. Sitting here with wet eyes. Thanks so much for posting this.

I've been listening to this little guy for the last at least 3.5 years! I will be honest as I can, because that is the only thing going for me. well the rest of my life I would like to get him and parents to come to the U.S. mainly Baton Rouge, La. area I do know Dr. Herndon He is over the pipe organ teaching I've got some of his c.d.'s recordings when he studying in Paris,France and I thought he was great,but Gert is well past him already I just wish I would still be alive to see Gert when he is in his 50's !!!! the guy below me posted commenting on Gert vs C. Carpenter lol one loves real pipe organ music the other Just like a typical QUEEN got to show his ass. well I guess here talking about myself takes one to know one except before I would go through all his changes I will go back in the closet for good!!

The power. The power of the music, the power of the organ, the power of the musician, at times it takes my breath away, and tears fill my eyes. There's only one other musical artist other than Gert that consistently does this for me, Pavarotti. Gert has a talent and gift like no other. We're blessed to hear him perform.

Best ever Ever and ever

Seeing as how I've watched Crimson Tide over 300 times, I can tell you that this is one of my favorite vids Gert has done. Thank you!

Thank you 5610 Winston for your great recommendations which I will look forward to listening to and and I agree with Tampanativeson. This is such a beautiful work of art- no way to feel pain and enjoy the pleasantness of music at the same time.

God has gifted you Gert…enjoy the gift….share the gift….but always give the glory to God!

I love this one so much! Thank you Gert.

Gert van Hoef, your skills are superb. I have watched every video produced and am always dazed by the quality and spirit of your rendition. As an organist for 40 years, by comparison, I am clearly unskilled. I thoroughly enjoy every piece you perform, regardless of instrument or location. Exquisite and masterful, Sir! Bravo!

magnifique! continue tes efforts et ton travail!! tu n'as pas fini de nous éblouir!!

You are amazing young man Gert!

Wat een ongelovelijk talent om zo te kunnen spelen. SUPER !!!!!

Gert - so nicely done. Registration is well structured. You have an able assistant. Well played. I am so gratified that the Dutch organs have such a wonderful fundamental on which to build the upperwork and reeds. Let's hear more recent performances.

Wonderful performance of beautiful music. The video is enhanced by the friendly rapport between Gert and Jan, making the experience more warm and relaxed than is sometimes the case. Thanks to everyone involved.

You're so talented. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world. And, thanks to your assistants who timely pulled stops for you. You all make a great musical team.

For me, this is one of the best videos of you and Jan working together in perfect harmony! [I miss him, what happened? :( ]

Dear Gert ; even this pop music you put your great feeling and tech. This interpretation of you is fantastic. Congratulations.

WOW! Gert had just turned 19 when this was published. Also great work by assistant, Jan.

Gert, your music is inspiring. My goal is to hear you play in person. Keith

Great job guys =)

Wonderful rendition well done Doreen looooove. It great stuff

..Wonderfully talented young man. Truly a pleasure to watch and listen. I hope I can attend one of his concerts some day.

Super!

This is my favorite for sure. I have played this over and over many times and it always excites me. This is also a great organ for this piece and others. Thanks for the calm it gives me.

Unbelievable playing you are a gift from God

Always Remember your beginnings, and give thanks. and be proud of your abilities , and continue to grow and be forever to be the best that you can be and know that there are thousands of us who love you . and are always cheering you on be it today, tomorrow ,and forever. jim

God I love when Gert smiles and is enjoying his gift. Never lose this feeling.

A thousands BRAVOs for this marvelous suite! You are a genious. Thank's for yor music. Also to your registeration helper.

I enjoy most of the comments of this wonderful video. But the childish trolls try to ruin it for the rest of us. If you trolls do not enjoy this music, why are you watching it? You obviously don't have enough to do, so PLEASE VENT YOUR HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

La magie du clavier et des doigts qui le parcourent ... super, que du bonheur !!! le talent est une présence, conserve la !!!

For reasons I haven’t worked out yet, I really like this piece. Perhaps it is the chemistry between Gert and Jan which adds to the happiness of the music, Stops and Arms flying about, just fantastic, thanks lads.

A second Mozart :D My organ playing is thousands of Miles from that amazing playing away! Thanks, that you share it with us !

Outstanding. Thank you for posting this gem.

soothing to mind spirit and soul

Great Performance! The organ sounds incredible, the registration is exciting, the playing wonderful. And all this on a TRACKER! You must be exhausted! Thank you for this video!

Pure wonderful talent and performance!

I can, and have, listened to this song over and over. Your rendition is very moving!

MAESTRO SUPER! BRAVO!!!

Videoen giver et spændende og meget forskelligt lydindtryk i de forskellige orgel indstillinger. TAK

Wonderful musicianship! Beautiful expressive playing with just the right registration.

Heel geweldig van uw , beiden en uiterste concentratie uw vingers vliegen over de registers en altijd vlot orgelspel en duidelijk ! Hartelijk dank beiden en proficiat ! Hendrik-Bontenbal 12-09-2019

Super Improvisation mit genialer Registration, schöne Orgel, toller Klang - 5*****!

Gert,wat kun jij fantastisch orgelspelen! De liefde voor dit vak straalt er gewoon vanaf. Heerlijk om naar te luisteren en te zien , hoeveel plezier je er zelf in hebt!!!

Fantasticly Mesmerizing!! And as an improvisation that is also just unbelievable co-performance! :-)

amazing as usual !!!

Merci Merci pour ces merveilleux moments

That was Great !! :D

... einfach phantastisch .. immer wieder was für die Seele...zum Abschalten vom Alltag...

Bravo Gert Fantastic .

Gewoonweg PRACHTIG!

Wunderschön !!!

thank you dear gert, for this great improvisation. You honor the music of vangelis. Yes the organ is really the king of instruments dixit Mozart.

One of my absolute favorites after almost 9 years... Came back to this to hear the masterpiece composed by Vangelis, was so sad to hear he passed away recently! The Choirs & Angels have (hopefully) grasped him and put him to be alongside them making the most wonderful music in Heaven!

Dit blijft mooi om naar te luisteren. Geweldig. Automatisch na elke livestream (35x).

So marvelous, thanks for your brilliant mastery of the organ !

Your Conquest of Paradise is epic!
