If public schools had half the vision of UA-cam more kids would turn their hearts and minds to this and other classics thus guaranteeing a better place for us to live.
A wonderful way to relax at the end of a hard day is to listen to him play a few pieces. He is a very talented man and will go a long way. Well done. - Brisbane, Queensland Australia.
It's amazing how this young man (who looks tiny in front of the keyboard) can bring out such richness and depth from the instrument. Gert has done incredible work in the past 9 years since this recording. Amazing!
You are the kind of organist I love. You play confidently and loudly when necessary. I think you are great and have a wonderful future. Carolyn Wilson. Australia. 22.10.2011
Isn't it astounding?? This young teenager mastering this huge, complex instrument! And to think that he did not start playing until he was 13 years old - did not even have an organ in his home. It's beyond my little brain to comprehend!
Thank you for your beautiful interpretation of Bach's organ music. Keep up your good work. You made my day a happy one. You are a special young man who can heal our souls and lift our spirit.
Wow. Stupendous! What a gift! That young man is unbelievably good now...what will he be like in 40 years? Keep posting please, and thanks! (from the United States, way over here in Louisville, Kentucky)
Bravo to you Gert ! I knew Feika Asma when I was conducting organ tours in 1980's for 10 years..He was know as the Virgil Fox of Holland. Wonderful kind man. Earle Goodwin, Bedford Virginia USA
Amazing, Genius! I've never before witnessed such energetic organ playing. The finger- and hand-holding is pure magic. Congratlations and thanks for posting this video!
Congratulations Gert ; i'm discovering now, your playing was ready to be great at this moment. I'am surprising all time with this and admire your fantastic interpretation.
I think he is what, 16 years old at this playing? Based on the publish date. He was born in 1994. My favorite is his rendition of Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis.
Organ sounds very good whether digital or pipe, doesn't matter. What is fascinating is the fact this young man can play at this level so young and is the master over that instrument. I intend to follow this young man a lot more now that I know he exists.
Gert van Hoef has been given a gift from God. May he grow in his gift to provide the world with beautiful music. The organ in this recording sounds pretty good even after realizing it is a Johannes electronic instrument.
Wow, when I'm at university, every piece he plays, I print for myself to practise on; this one is cool! It is wonderful to see the fruit of one's labours. Mr van Hoef is really inspiring; Anything is possible - he shows it! Keep up the good work.
no, the composer was a Dutch organ player called Feike Asma. Small wonder in the "Feike Asma Tournament." He was hated and loved alike. He was loved for his way of playing, his registration and his compotions - and for promoting the organ. He was despised by some for his "too loose" way of plaing. Ah well. It's "simply" a psalm, but in Asma-style it gains momentum. The way Gert plays it is quite incredible.
Anyone who complains about the organist "bouncing all over the place" never watched Artur Rubenstein play! He was exhuberrant and full of energy. He was all over the bench. I was taken by that when I first saw him perform in the late 1940s.
Good Job Man, you're awesome. I'm learning to play the piano since 3 years, but organ is way more complexe and beautiful. It's a pity not so much people can learn to play this awesome instrument. I will learn but I'm afraid that not having one to keep practicing I'll forget.... Again congratulations for your work and God bless you so you'll can continue this awesome work and delight our ears and souls!
Ik ben geen grote liefhebber van de muziek van de Zwart familie maar als het zonder dat het orgel " brult" wordt gespeeld klinkt het fantastich zoals jij het neerzet. Nogmaals neem ik mijn petje voor je af
Gert, vanuit amerika van harte gefeliciteerd. prachtig gespeeld zeg. Ongelofelijk. Ik woon al 65 jaar in Amerika en voor die tijd ging ik regelamtig naar de Wilhelminakerk in Rotterdam (nu afgebroken) om naar Feike Asme te luisteren. Jou spel bracht vele herinneringen terug. Ik zou ook graag willen weten of je ooit de Marche Funebre van Guilmant heb gespeeld. Een prachtig nummer.. Veel succes voor de toekomst.
WOW, I'm crying watching you ! You are SO enjoying yourself, and I'm SO enjoying your playing. WELL DONE - I've never witnessed anyone like you - NEVER give up.
Formidable vraiment! Ce garçon est vraiment très talentueux! Il n'a que dix-huit ans! (vue sur une biographie)! Je pense qu'il aura une longue et grande carrière. Bravo jeune homme!
I'm truly impressed by the skill of this organist. Maybe he's a mere 21-years of age? Probably not much older and he's in total control of this huge organ. I can tell that he's having one heck of a good time!

I am left amazed at his talent and skill once more. I do wonder, however, since not even ONE drawknob (stop) is pulled to the "on" position, how is that Gert was able to obtain sound from this wonderful organ? ?
Thank you for this wonderful performance. I can't decide if this instrument was made for you or if you were created for this instrument. Either way we are winners! '
Wow! I'm speechless...for once! Awesome talent very few are gifted with. May God bless your future blessing others with your talent!...wow...wow...WOWs coming from Boring Oregon USA Yes, there really is a town named Boring and YES its VERY BORING...but we like it this way!
@PietroSonnySilvestri Toccata Psalm 146, Jan Zwart (1877-1937). Jan Zwart wrote many pieces on Psalms and Hymns. A historical recording with Feike Asma playing this piece can be found here on UA-cam.

Gert, you are wonderfull !!! Thanks for those beautiful moments. OBs: By the way, you don't need "proper clothes", you need you talent, that is blatant ! Thanks again for those moments. JAL, from Brazil, South America

Have you noticed how he plays music with every fiber of his being? He is a prodigy - and a very extraordinary gifted one.

Fantastic to hear such a young and gifted organist
Gert, je doet harten smelten met al je prachtige uitvoeringen, bedankt daarvoor!!
Gert, your playing this number gives me joy no matter how many times I watch it! Your playing is a gift to me.
A kid performance in Adidas and casual clothes a master of organ. Now he is married and even more masterful of his craft. Gert is one cool dude!
If this guy managed to get married then just aboit everyone has a chance to get married or at least get laid

Qu'un tel jeune homme puisse jouer avec une telle énergie...
Étonnant.
Jeune homme à surveiller
BRAVO

Awesome! Congratulations! Greetings from Ecuador. SouthAmerica.
Extraordinary as usual. I never miss any of your vidéos.
You're terrific, Gert. All of us who follow you here are proud of you!!!!!
przecudowne brzmienie organów.A wykonuje to młodzi,który chyba wie o organach wszystko.Piękne.Dziękuję.
For those interested: played at the Monarch-organ, made by Johannus Organs at Ede (the Netherlands), placed in the concert-hall of the factory.
wonderlijk mooi gespeeld hier doe je me een groot plezier mee'
ga zo door man.
I am very much touched: what a passion!
Bravo! Such a commanding performance at a young age. Amazing 😊
Anyone who complains about the organist "bouncing all over the place" never watched Artur Rubenstein play! He was exhuberrant and full of energy. He was all over the bench. I was taken by that when I first saw him perform in the late 1940s.
WOW - You really feel your music and your instrument. You will soon be one of the greats. Gave me chills. BRAVO!!
You are a wonderful talent, dear Gert!

I am left amazed at his talent and skill once more. I do wonder, however, since not even ONE drawknob (stop) is pulled to the "on" position, how is that Gert was able to obtain sound from this wonderful organ?
?
The stops are digital; they light up when activated.
Great again !!! You are a great talent. Looking forward to your records!
Best wishes

A rather unusual approach to the keyboard, but clearly a gifted young muscian.

Besides the obvious Gert always amazing. However the organ's control set up so beautiful, wood.

Bravo! Wonderful performance.
Excellent Performance !!!
I am an organist and totally get that he is amazing. Very difficult and good for him
Eccezionale, organista maximo !!!!

Wish there was a camera on those pedal passages...
Subscribe to the channel. There are hundreds of videos showing his pedal skills.
Incredible talent!!!!
ich kenne diese Orgel zwar nicht, aber was diese junge Frau da heraus geholt hat, ist wirklich ein dickes Gratz wert.
Ich verneige mich!
