What an absolutely fantastic sound. Thank you Gert and team. A really pleasant surprise to find you tonight. Hope you are well with Marjolein and the boys.
I love this piece!!! You really bring out the best on this beautiful organ. There is such joy on your face and it lifts my spirits watching you. Thank you, Gert and Leendert for a surprise on Gertsday!
Wat...een Prachtige Uitvoering op dit Schitterende Orgel , wat een Sound !! Ook Acoestiek in deze Kerk is Top . Gert en Evert , 😊 Dankjulliewel Helemaal Super ! .
Just finished listening to the symphonic version of this wonderful work a short time ago on our kitchen speaker, now I'm enjoying your masterful playing, as always, hearing it on my phone. Your version is, oh, so much more majestic and joyous to hear!! God bless you All in the week ahead!!🙏✝️🛐🎶🎹
Finlandia has always touched my heart, and is still my favorite. You just made my day, I never heard it done better than today. Thank you, and God Bless you for sharing. DB
I finally found a moment to savour this treat - oh what a treat. I couldn't wish for a better one right now. Beautiful!Thank you Gert, Leendert and all of Team Gert! Lots of love to you, Marjolein and your lovely boys.
Oh this is so beautiful and rousing! I’m Welsh, and in our country, the middle melody (the cantabile bit) is the melody to a hymn: “Gweddi dros Gymru” (a Prayer over Wales). It’s very patriotic, but I didn’t realise until age 14 that the melody was “famous”, and it wasn’t even Welsh! 😆
Magical playing, Gert, and perfectly registered. I have heard you play this piece on several organs, and you always bring out the best in them in this piece. You "tour de force" was your playing of Finlandia at Hanley. Simply breathtaking. 💕 ❤🎉
Lovely Organpiece "Finlandia" from Jean Sibelius dear Gert, wonderful performance on this really first springtimeday! Thank you for playing and sharing dear friend! Many musical greetings from Bernadette xxx
No one should compare Finland's heroic war with the misguided US intervention in the Ukraine. It is an insult to do so. It is people like you who accept the US propaganda about fighting for freedom, while they will be abandoned as soon as the US interest turn to the next country, as it happened to Vietnam, Korea, Aphganistan and Iraq, after they destroyed those countries and abandon them.
@@tvanya It's a tragedy, as innocent people are dying in masses. They don't care about the politics behind the war. Yes, this does hit extra hard, thinking of those people.
What a brilliant and accomplished performance. Great piece of music, beautifully transcribed and registered for this instrument. I hope to get up to see you at Stoke-on-Trent when you come over later in the year.
The stickers indeed indicate such things. Which stops should be opened or closed, which manual should be played or, for example, a crescendo can be indicated with it.
Œuvre difficile à exécuter à l'orgue, quand l'interprète doit être aux percussions, aux timbales, aux cuivres, aux bois, aux cordes et au pupitre de chef, tout ça pour les honoraires d'un organiste ! 😏 Ps : et encore j'ai pris la version sans les choristes. . . 😂
Finlandia est parfaite pour l'orgue, où l'on peut passer de quasi hymne patriotique à une hymne religieuse, ce qui d'ailleurs n'a pas manqué dans le monde entier, pour la seconde partie de l'œuvre. Cependant, tout organiste ne parvient pas à la perfection que la transcription exige par la difficulté d'y parvenir au niveau des divers registres. Personnellement, j'aime assez celui-ci sauf dans l'emploi de certains tempis (et la tenue de la dernière note trop longue).

Proud to be Finnish 🇫🇮
I’m 24.9% Finnish and it makes me proud, too! I’d love to see Helsinki someday. Great performance here of one of History’s greatest melodies.
Obra muito bem executada! Maravilhosa! 🇧🇷
Sounds wonderful and well done...one of my favorite pieces and the organ version is so awesome too.

Dear Mr van Hoef, thanks for posting this, brilliant performance.
Brilliant Performance Gert.

Heel mooi gespeeld de opbouw heel goed .
Love all your facial expressions Gert! Thank you for sharing.
Pareil pour moi 🎶
Thank you Gert.

FANTASTIQUE ! MAGNIFIQUE !! SUBLIME !! QUEL ARTISTE !
Wunderbar gespielt ❣❣❣
Unbelievable….so nice and fluidly..

I have not heard this piece in a long time. Wonderful job, Gert!
5:40 hats off! This hymn is almost as sacred as the national anthem in Finland (and it was the national anthem of Biafra).
Thank you, Gert and your team, for another gem! I love to hear you play this organ. Hopefully there will be live concert in Doesburg soon.
indrukwekkend,dank Gert en Leendert.past wel op 4 mei.
Beau cadeau musical du jeudi 🎶 Merci 🎶
Great music and amazing player !
Absolutely fantastic Gert!😊👏👏👏👏
OK, boys, you can let the cops in, now! Gert's Crescendo mission accomplished! Bravo! BRAVO!
Finnland ist ein Superland! 👍
Begrüße aus Sankt-Petersburg.
Thanks Gert. This one hits extra hard now as Ukraine is fighting for independence like Finland had to in the wars Finlandia reminds us of.

Greetings from Finland! we had to play that part with lyrics with recorder-flute in 3-4 grade :D
Good! 👏Kristóf 12 years from Hungary 😊😊😊
What a brilliant and accomplished performance. Great piece of music, beautifully transcribed and registered for this instrument. I hope to get up to see you at Stoke-on-Trent when you come over later in the year.
I always love the long fermata on the closing note. It is your trademark.
This is the first piece on Gert's CD "Reprise." Wonderful sound and performance both on the CD and here.
I agree - totally 😊
Top Fin Top Fine !!
GREAT Gert, danke.
Very nice work here. This organ has the sound needed for such and orchestral piece. It is verging on "Theatre Organ" sound. Great job.
Great organ brought to it's best by Gert's talent, Thank You! We have a hymn set to the quite section "Be Still my Soul" von Schlegal.
Only God could be guiding Your hands and heart, Gods speed!,,
Danke aus Finnland!
❤❤❤❤

Upea esitys. Kiitos!
What's the coloured stickers for? are they hints for locations of stops, or reminders which manuals to play......or something else?
The stickers indeed indicate such things. Which stops should be opened or closed, which manual should be played or, for example, a crescendo can be indicated with it.
Œuvre difficile à exécuter à l'orgue, quand l'interprète doit être aux percussions, aux timbales, aux cuivres, aux bois, aux cordes et au pupitre de chef,
tout ça pour les honoraires d'un organiste ! 😏
Ps : et encore j'ai pris la version sans les choristes. . . 😂

MAybe some tremolo on the hymn part…
Tremolo is there at 6:55
Brilliant Performance Gert.
