Toegift Concert Venhuizen - Fantasie Toccata 'Heer u bent mijn leven' 

ANYONE can PLAY the music. Gert FEELS the music. BECOMES the music. Truly awesome talent and just a joy to watch you! PLEASE come to the US! Specifically Pittsburgh, PA!

This is my number one pick of all Gert's uploads, even above the Widor toccata. Unfathomable passion in the playing. Gert is the greatest.

One of the best melodies ever created. The variations that commence at 3:21 are a delight. The build at 5:00 is spectacular. The concluding strains are historic. Superb!

Such a shame that such a small group of people were there to witness this fabulous music in person. Gert...... I beg you . . . Keep on playing this piece in the future. You are magical with it. And, keep up those fabulous tempos.

Excellent. This has to be my favorite musical piece you play. It is so moving. I only wish I was in the audience God bless you Gert!

Gert -- in the future you will play millions of notes for millions of fans. Stay young, start composing and don't let go of Jan....you make a great performance pair.

It would so nice if Gert and Jan would come to the USA and play. These two work together as if one. And so happy to see this. And being young is even better. Gert is so good and is getting better each time he plays.. Just wonderful....

,bravo,bravo,bravo!!!!!This is very beautiful.Thank You.

Absolutely one of my most favorite pieces you perform...both to hear and to watch you play!

Best thing on youtube. Incredible performance.

It's the imperfection in this that makes it perfect! He has a real feel for the music making his timing special - couple this with ad hoc registration changes and we end up with a piece full of energy

Gert, you and Jan are blessing to me!

never seen or heard anything like this. It looks so fun, I'm laughing. Sounds wonderous. Team. Thanks for this.

Brings me to tears...so very beautiful..so very very .beautiful......cheers and blessing Gert to you and Jan

Still truly awe inspiring and absolutely amazing.

Always an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Damn, Gert. You could dance to this. Wonderful!!. It is a fun piece and you apparently like to play it. Nice job for you and Jan.

This never gets old. By 5:30 there are 3 manuals, 2 hands, and 2 feet dancing, leading up to the powerful hymn at 6:05, Lord You Are My Life. Glorious!

What a talent you have!

Gert, Briljant, wat een passie ,,,,, geweldig.... Gr. HR

Absolutely incredible performance. Almost unbelievable. But, it's here on youtube so I have to believe it. BEAUTIFUL MUSIC INDEED performed by a very gifted young man.

GERT you are up MORE then my expectation ! You grow better and better ; you play true BAROQUE..

Werkelijk een prachtig beeld rondom de speeltafel. Passie, Power and Presentation......Super

Six years have passed. I think this performance was a turning point in proving you were a genius...….no doubt. Thank you from your No.1 Scottish Fan.

Een waar genot om naar te luisteren en te kijken. Je enthousiasme en je plezier in het spelen spat van het scherm af. En niet te vergeten de interactie tussen jou en Jan. Heerlijk!

Gert, genoten van je muziek!

Gert van Hoef is a very great musician. Jan always knew that. It explains their close collaboration over several years.

Now I don't know which selection of this piece is your best!! They sre all delightful. Possibly your signature tune!? I am consistently amazed and a little jealoys of your talent!!! Don't ever hide your obvious enthusiasm! It's contiguous

Ganz plötzlich bin Ich nun ein Orgel Musik Fan. Fantastisch gespielt!!

na zoveel uren ,nog zo kunnen spelen,wat een talent,respect Gert,ontroering blijft met dit nummer bedankt Gert

Bravo, belles registrations !

Meer dan heel mooi. Ongelofelijk dat een gastje van 20 jaar dit kan! Ik ben 71, mijn vader was organist van de grote kerk in Gorinchem, ik kan nog niet eens "moeder ligt een kip in't Water"spelen. Ik ga Gert niet verafgoden, dat past ook niet in zijn en mijn cultuur. Maar ik geniet van zijn talent.

Remarkable! But then, with Gert (and his alter ego, the registrant) the remarkable is the norm. Many thanks for the upload.

Fantastisch! Werkelijk prachtig!

In Welsh we say wrych,,,,,, There is no other analogy for perfection

You are amazing bro!

Beste Gert,zit in de nachtdienst ,in het hospice,stilletjes te genieten!! Wat een gave heb jij om te spelen... Ik ga je volgen, je hebt er een fan bij...!! Veel succes.

It is music flowing from the heart. There is emotion, there is building tension and this unusual feeling of the instrument, it is simply there or not and you CANNOT learn it! You Gert have it, thank God day and night, day after day. Genius! Who at such a young age can play like that and also fantasies and improvisations so beautifully harmonized BRILLIANTLY. Geniusz! Kto w tym tak młodym wieku umie tak grać i to jeszcze fantazje i improwizacje tak przepięknie harmonizowane G E N I A L N E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as usual, never disappointed, loved the opening and ending, something different, showing other peoples appreciation, and a job well done as usual by your registrant jan, thanks for sharing and keep em coming,

Intense and wonderful. It's not often I will hear a performance more than once. I'm enjoying watching you play and hearing some wonderful music. I have a crush on you now.

Weer een fan erbij, ik word hier heel blij van!

Gert super gespeeld na een week hard werken vind ik het heerlijk om weg te zwijmen bij je prachtige muziek en komen er weer jeugd herinneringen boven , ga zo door man super!!

Ik vind deze uitvoering zo verschrikkelijk mooi!

Du lieber Himmel, wie sehr sich Jan und Gert in den letzten 10 Jahren verändert haben, zeigen nicht nur diese Rückblicke, sondern auch unsere eigene Entwicklungen. Ich wünsche Gert für die weitere Zukunft alles Gute, seine Entwicklung lässt darauf schließen, dass er zu seinen Lebzeiten mit dem großen Jan Klaas Mulder gleichzieht.

A splendid performance from a very talented performer. I am delighted to see your Organ Teacher is Jos van der Kooy - I was lucky enough to have some lessons from him way back in the 1970s when I worked for a year in Amsterdam. You have a great talent for the organ.

I really love this piece, even more when it is played by you!! I never get tired of listening to your version!! From Spain!!

BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! The joy that streams from your soul when you play this piece is so moving! Your passion is contagious to your viewer, Gert! BRAVO.....BRAVO!!!!!! You just may be the world's most gifted / organ prodigy. I'de like to hear and see more settings of HYMNS that you play during the service. One of them that I just heard made me stand up and shout, "YES"!!!! The ending was unexpected and simply brilliant !! What a lucky church to have you playing. Also, bravo to your assistants that assist with changing all the stops. That takes talent in itself! Cheers!

This is when I first noticed your real geniius. !! Years ago.... coming through. You also had a lot of fun in you. Wow. Blessings on all you love. Charles... Hollywood, USA. 2022 AD Been watching you your entire... RU-vid career. I would love to hear some of your compositions. Thx.

Gert , you and your best friend Willem Den Boer are the best on youtube for sure. You both make the organ sing as it should. Love the way you work Jan to death LOL... He sure gets a workout. LOL. I also see that Willem den Boer puts him to work also. Poor boy never gets a rest. LOL. Keep up the superb concerts. Still would like to see Jan play a song one of these days. You and Willem talk him into it. OK?

My favorite. I always come back to this one. So moving!

Grandiose.........Merci

Brilliant he's certainly the best.

Awesome team, pair, whatever you call it. Great performance!!!

Thanks Gert and Jan.

Beautiful as always

I sure enjoy seeing you and jan in your concerts.

Gert, just absolutely wonderful. Thankyou for your beautiful music.

Absolutly wonderfulle.

Van harte welkom, Dirk!

Hallo Gert, ik volg jou nu al een hele tijd. Zoals iemand hieronder al schreef: een ieder zijn talent. Jij hebt kennelijk van God de gave gekregen om mooi orgel te kunnen spelen en mensen daarmee te verblijden. Goed dat jij dit talent zo tot ontwikkeling hebt weten te brengen en dit op het conservatorium verder aan het ontwikkelen bent. Jij doet mij iedere keer weer genieten van het gespeelde en met mij vele anderen in binnen- en buitenland. Chapeau!

Echt geweldig.. toppie...👌👌👌

Wondefrul..and beautiful...melody

I love toccatas and this was beautifully done.

Stupendous! Thanks.

Enjoyed another fine performance of yours. Hope all is going well for you and Best with your new teacher... Take care

Still one of my favourites, just beautiful!

Outstanding performance, Gert. That tracker is not an easy instrument to play, yet you manage to virtually make it speak - in its own magnificent language. God be with you.

Dank U wel. Uw musiek is schitterend, Gert ...

Gert, ik heb nu al een aantal van je optredens gehoord en ik vind je manier van spelen en registratie prachtig! Ook chapeau voor de registreerders!

Two questions: he's going to a conservatory why and is anybody else concerned that it will hurt rather than help an incredible talent? God Almighty he's good!!!

Gert ga zo door ik ben alle grootse fan en ik ben denk ik niet enige

Gert, jy het 'n wonderlike gevoel vir musiek. Dis genoeg om jou voor die orrel te sien en daardie emosies saam met jou mee te maak. My woorde beskryf nie hoe uitmuntend jou God gegewe gawe is nie. You absolutely enjoy the magic you produce on the organ and the piano!!. Such feeling and emotion and a total understanding of the composer's work shows in your face. I share the enjoyment you get out of it all!!. Hallie van Suid Afrika

Vollgas :D Klinkt echt fantastisch Gert en heb er zeer van genoten ...

God-given talent. There is no other way to explain it!

Always such a great pleasure to watch and hear you play so magnificently. Hope to see you here in Methuen, Massachusetts, USA someday!

My God!!!! Wonderfull! No words to describe your talent, inspiration and artistic gift. Congratulations!!!!!

Excelente..organista..y una linda melodi

Mooi tempo Gert. Vaak wordt er veel te traag gespeeld. Ik heb inmiddels al naar zoveel video’s hier van jou geluisterd. Je bent een topper.

wow! awesome ! Come to the USA

Eeeeh, nou lees ik, dat dit orgel ook nog een klokkenspel op het Récit heeft.......;-) Bijzonder plezierige voordracht, reuze bedankt, groetjes, Gert

my favorite melody...wow

Ongekend, die energie die je er in gooit na zo'n lange dag. Wat een ontlading moet dat geweest zijn. En wat zul je geslapen hebben daarna toen je thuis was. Ik vind dit toch wel weer echt een stuk groei weergeven van jou als organist. Ik heb het idee (maar wie ben ik om daar wat over te zeggen) dat het technisch weer naar een hoger plan is gebracht. Wat zou youtube soort van leeg zijn zonder jouw muziek! Dank je voor het delen!

Gert, sos una genialidad y un elegido!!!!!

Geweldig Dankje

Incredible!

Genius! My heart feels it will burst!

Sehr schöne Improvisation - beeindruckend gespielt - wunderschönes Lied

Zo mooi!!!

Impressionante!!! Magnifico! BRAVO!!!

il canto "simobolum" è stato composto in Italia negli anni 70 da don Pierangelo Sequeri Ha aggiunto una seconda versione . Simbolum 2 Da noi in Italia raramente si improvvisa su un canto liturgico. In più questo è nato per chitarra e non per organo. Credo farebbe piacere all'autore di essere stato citato in questa improvvisazione singolare. Il canto ha una movenza melodica ebraica ed è davvero bello

Gert, du bist ein wunderschöner und sehr talenvoller Musiker. Ich bin bereit immer dich zuzuhören. Viel Glück und Erfolg. Vielen Dank.

Voor mij is dit veruit je mooiste improvisatie, al meerdere uitvoeringen van dit stuk door jou vertolkt beluisterd: telkens weer kippenvel en tranen. Weergaloos!

Geweldig concert, heb erg genoten!!! Dank ook voor je handtekening! :-) Suc6 met je opleiding op het conservatorium.

Splendida!!!

to jest tak lekko,płynnie,delikatnie i z takim sercem wykonane,ze można słuchać Gert i zapomnieć o świecie.....Dziękuję za piekną grę Twoją...Mam nadzieję,że kiedyś usłyszę Ciebie na żywo chociaż mieszkam w Polsce....

echt mooi!!!!!!!

Speechless. So Beautiful

Geweldig Gert, ik geniet met je mee :)

Wonderful

Graag gedaan!
