Wie wohltuend sind diese Klänge! Eine Musik die seit Jahrhunderten an Schönheit und Klarheit nichts verloren hat. Diese Musik auch so einfühlsam gespielt , ist Balsam in unserer verwirrten und zerstörten Zeit. Und wer den Text kennt , kann die Freude , die Zuversicht und den Trost durch den Glauben an Gott erst recht bestätigen.
Tränen der Freude und der Ergriffenheit. Wenn Musik das bewirkt, dann hier!
A purist’s worst nightmare of course, but Bach, listening from heaven, is smiling with joy at this thrilling improvisation!
To me this is proves God exists, that the musical gift is given to a choosen few, that Bach, Mozart and Vittoria are the mouthpiece of God and that we were created to to just be bathed in this sublime light that is Music. God Bless you Gert and keep that amazing talent alive for us all.
Beethoven? He could compose without his hearing
Not only is this proof of the supernatural but that surely it is in the form of the Nordic pantheon with Óðinn skáldfaðir at its peak. Surely any being that had gifted the world such gifts as music and poetry would spark origin stories of these gifts. Praise be Óðinn, the Æsir and the Vanir!
How do you think about nowadays composers like Zimmer, Williams, Barry.....Black Sabath or Madonna?
« D.ieu doit beaucoup à Bach » !
Op. cit.
@@Phynne85 no comparison.
Einfach nur Wunderbar!!Labsal für Herz und Seele!! Danke.
It is a real joy to watch and hear you playing - the music comes first - no histrionics, no flashy demonstration of technical virtuosity, no charging through at speeds faster than anyone else - just thoughtful, astonishingly mature musicianship. That is true virtuosity.
Ce jeune homme est en complète fusion avec son instrument, impressionnnant
Thank you for your generosity with you God given gift
GROSSARTIG! Mehr kann ich dazu gar nicht kommentieren. Gert, Du bist ein begnadeter Organist und Musiker - thank you for your fantastic playing .....
Zo jong en reeds zulk een meester!
Gert... you play this piece with such grace and beauty!...Bach would only be so proud...what perfect music for the soul!!!..I love it!!...thank you for sharing your gift!..🙏❤
Gert, how come you make me get tears in my eyes? I'm hardened by life, nothing else does...
My friend, I can relate to your feelings exactly. There is something about this young man and his emotional playing that I haven't experienced before, and I am not so young. You should listen to his playing on the Willis organ in Liverpool. The closing piece, Pomp and Circumstance will give you a lift, no matter what ever ails you.
Gary
Danke!!! Mein Herz weint und ich bin erlöst
One of the great improvisations ever, utterly transcendent.
Understatement!
At least I took the time to praise it, perhaps you can keep a positive outlook.

Gert is nog zo jong en nu al zo geweldig! Ik had erbij willen zijn om dit life te mogen beluisteren!!
Just beautiful, Bach was a genius and this kid is a great organist.
Niemand spielt, mit soviel Herz und Gefühl, wie Sie. Danke!
Sehr gut gemacht Gert van Hoef. Man merkt, dass er sein Handwerk beherrscht. 🎵🎹👍🎶👍❤
Браво музыканту!...Музыка - космос!..Улетаешь в далекие миры!....Релакс !......
Stundenlanger Genuß, Balsam für die Seele.
Gott ist mein Licht und ist mein Heil - wer kann mir irgend böses tun auf dieser ganzen Erden? Bachs Musik - auch gerade wenn so wundervoll interpretiert - spricht das göttliche, den Funken den Gott in uns als Seele hineingelegt hat an. Zumindest geht es mir so und ich hoffe bald selbst wieder am Instrument sitzen zu dürfen, wenn auch mit weitaus weniger Fähigkeit, wenn diese Zeiten der "Pestilenz" vorüber sind!
Sie werden enden, bleiben Sie bitte bis dahin mit Eigenverantwortung sicher!
What an unbelievable improvisation of this beautiful organ work from a so talented guy ;)
It takes a consummate prodigy to pull off such an improvisation, sir! You are he!
Gert my cancer is a terrible thing, but your music lifts my spirits you are a most wonderful musician. I hope I have many more years to listen and watch you play
Music is the best therapy ,,, hope you get well and enjoy life through the miracle that is music
Froggie24546 I which you the best in this year 2018

Just saw your post, I hope things are good for you!
Health and long life to you, Froggie24546
Gerte, jsi velký muzikant, závidím ti tu lehkost, s jakou hraješ a improvizuješ. BRAVO
I love this organist's treatment of "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring." The tempo is just right, not too fast as many do it. His relaxed technique bespeaks thousands of hours of work to achieve mastery of the instrument. Or should I say king of instruments. The improvisation is brilliant, but never loses sight of the original theme's harmonic simplicity. I think J.S. would be mightily pleased to behold his composition still relevant in the modern age when performed by a young master.
Du hast das Herz von Bach erobert, seine Liebe zu Jesus!
Sehr berührendes Orgelspiel. Vielen Dank.
Just discovered Gert's talent, the day after my 65th birthday. A belated present! My late father introduced my to the King of Instruments many years ago. he would have loved this. What a talent you have and thank you for sharing it with the world.
Ich kann mich nicht"satthören" an Deiner Improvisation. Noch einmal ganz großes Können. Danke.
Forget all the world's troubles for a brief moment and listen to Bach, Gert, in St. Baaf's!
Une œuvre de Bach sublimée ici par un génie de l'improvisation
What an amazing talent Gert has.Listening to him during the coronavirus lockdown has been an inestimable blessing.
Hello Gert, I subscribed at a count of about 10,000 (finally) after enjoying your awesome talent, whether at church or in concert. You have the ability to make me emotional with joy when I hear you play (even at 72 years old!), and your gift must come from heaven -- for sure. I will join many to pray for your safety, wisdom, skill, and your playing of more beautiful pieces similar to this. Thank you!
I watched it again. This time I'm taken by the gentle elegance of his hands over the walking bass. I just can't get enough of this young prodigy.
Can u tell me how old this young man is? Thanks
@@DavidSmith-ki2we He was born in 1994
Prodigy and of another age he is
Same. I listen to him nearly every day.
You have such an incredible talent and passion in playing a church organ Gert. I absolutely love this music and I'm really impressed by it. Your music fills my soul with immense pleasure, and raises my spirits no end.
You have inspired me to practice on the piano more now, as I haven't played on it for a long time. I doubt if I could play a church organ. Looks a bit too complex for me.
Thank you so much for this wonderful music by Bach 😀
Blijft een genot om naar te luisteren,dank!
Well bedankt ❤🕊
...danke für dieses unbeschreiblich(Gott) schöne Geschenk!!!
Grüsse aus Bonn/Germany👋🏻🌻🌳🌺
Wieso Germany? Meinen Sie, dass wir hier in Flandern "Deutschland" nicht verstehen?
Ein Wahnsinn was der drauf hat. Ein Jahrhundert Talent

I find it amazing...looks like they have ripped you out of your bed, put you in front of the organ, you start to play and suddenly you get inspired and you just get it spot on.
Gert's genius gives the appearance of effortless playing. Many brilliant romantic ideas woven into Bach's original - thank you for sharing this with us.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! ***** If i had more thumbs i would give more but BRAVO! TWO THUMBS up. Absolutely climactic, Superb tact with expression and stop control as well as outstanding control with the swells. The expressed power you pulled from that organ Made it sound Grand to its most highest threshold and even at Full Grand organ settings It sounded Colorful, as though it spoke in many tongues. You are amazing and Keep up the Excellent Work and continue our art.
J S BACH . La sua genialità musicale lo ha reso sempre ed eternamente presente. Mai non mi accontento e vorrei che Egli fosse sempre ancora vivo tra noi.
Großartig, wunderschön. Einer meiner Lieblingschoräle.
I imagine Bach hanging out in the clouds listening to this totally unimpressed like "meh, another copy of my masterpiece", but then becoming more and more curious with every minute and in the end just standing there speechless.
What you did there is really, really special!
It is so refreshing hearing an impro from my all time favorite piece created by someone of my generation! Keep on doing this kind of stuff :)
I'm looking at the comments, and no one's talking about his insane harmonic choices that make the second half sound so amazing. Let's talk about that
@Pablo Lopez-Ortega - you are so right. Most people (like me previously) listened to the first few minutes and thought "nice improvisation". But after seeing your comment, I thought I'd listen all the way through and it becomes staggering. It's as if he's turned a baroque standard into a romantic classic (a bit Widor-esque in parts). The guy is a genius!
@@NinoNiemanThe1st I've been wondering for a long time now why his career never seems to really take off. Who is his agent, anyone knows? Whoever it is, he/she seems totally incompetent. Gert should be travelling around the world's top venues, instead he keeps playing the Queen of Sheba at small churches. Sorry, I needed to take this off my chest.
I was pretty much Vince McMahon falling out of my chair in the last 30 seconds there.
@@JanPBtest I'm not sure about his career but he's perhaps not as well-known as he should be given pipe organ music is a fairly obscure corner of the arts these days. Nevertheless, people must listen to the whole of this clip (especially at 4:19 where he moves to an unexpected minor key), because his improvisation is masterful. Having said this, I'm sure if he went on tour widely, he'd have great audiences from those people who care about this stuff. It wouldn't matter if he was playing to only 50 people who cared, he'd engender immense respect!
@Panakeje That's fine, the music is great either way. I think if you do learn what's under the great sound, you can enjoy it more. It happened to me.
Dank je wel voor deze prachtige versie...... we hebben m gebruikt voor t uitdragen van mijn vader, hij was groot fan van dit, en ook van jou....!
Самое душевное и красивое произведение Баха. Герт как всегда на высоте!!!
The acoustics in these great European churches are unbelievable. My cousin played in a church in Bavaria- in January. He wore a winter jacket and could see his breath and the glass of water was frozen but nonetheless the 200 yr old organ played wonderfully.
GRAZIE DI QUESTA MUSICA MI FA TOCCARE IL CELO.TI RINGRAZIO DAL PROFONDO DEL MIO CUORE.TI SCIVO QUESTE PAROLE MI COMMUOVE SEMPRE SENTIRTI PERCHÈ LA MUSICA E VITA AMORE DOLCEZZA SPERANZA GIOIA E TUTTO.CHE DIO TI BENEDICA SEMPRE SULLA TUA STRADA DELLA NOSTRA MUSICA.
Bach's masterpiece played by a prodigy. What a blessing to hear this on Good Friday. Soli Deo Gloria
Překrásné. Stará hudba a mladý a mladistvý styl. Snad o něm uslyšíme.....
Wel gedaan Gert. Hou van jou streelende misiek. Luister gereeld,jong man met soveel talent.
I studied pipe organ from age 12 to 17 ... this is truly the most beautiful, and moving version I have ever heard ... thank you for sharing, Gary
I've listened to this many times...so beyond wonderful ...just stunning!!!
Герт Ван Хоф вы гений! Благодарю за доставленное удовольствие слушать и созерцать ваш талант!
Bravo bravissimo!! Ich mag sehr ...😍👏👏👏👏
Bach would love this young man for playing his music just as he made it to be heard.... 'puffy' jacket, hoodie and all.
I love this one..One of my favorite from Bach...He would be proud to watch a young prodigy like you playing to his works...Your brilliant music sooth my tired body n soul as I'm recovering from 2 hour surgery...Pain has been great but listening to masterpiece like this ease my mind..May you always achieve all the success ! You are an incredible musician!
Gert listening to you is joy joy joy, your music uplifts the spirit. Your talent is amazing.
I have never been so amazed by such graceful music! Bach would be proud to have heard this played if alive today! Gert, bless you for your performance. May you always bring smiles to everyone that has an ear to lend and listen to you play live or from TH-cam!
iruben77 Thank you. That's very kind. :) have a good day!
Das tut der Seele gut
Es klingt absolut genial! Best improvisation ever! Die Orgel erstrahlt in ihrem vollen Glanz.
I think Bach stands behind him, touches on his shoulder and whispers: "Well done, Gert."
Breathtaking... The improvisation is unbelievable. Using the organ to the fullest...
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Quinton Andre Instablaster =)
@Darian Brandon thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Darian Brandon it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Quinton Andre no problem :D
Only just discovered Gert in the last couple of days. Made my lock down Xmas. Wonderful that all over the world, even here in the semi-desert of the Klein Karoo one can hear such perfection!
Kiitos Gert! Sinä soitat, kuten Bach! T. Antti Ylönen Suomesta from Finland
meine Gratulation zu diesem feinsinnig und grandios gespieltem Stück ! Chapeau !
Marvelous! He got anointed in the midst of this. Great adlib!
Gert is the best organist i have had the pleasure of hearing since Virgil Fox oh so many years ago. This piece along with Ode to Joy and some others send chills down my spine. I try to listen to these two several times a week. I used to go to local organ concerts just to feel the power of the ‘king of instruments’ but discovered that I could get a better ‘concert’ just coming here and listening primarily to Gert and other great organists. I have followed Gert here seeing the wonderful progress made since he was yoing. Wish I had the same talent! May God continue to bless you in your work to glorify Him and never forget who you got that wonderful talemt from.
John, do you know his first version of Ode to Joy: th-cam.com/video/qLYQijY9aMI/w-d-xo.html
I love Gert too, I also have been following him for several years. I got a kick out of you saying you have followed him "since he was young". Of course, you realize he is now only 26.
Old Bach is not dead he still lives in this young man!
Das sehe ich ganz genauso. I agree completely to this statement.
I couldn’t disagree more. Don’t forget, Bach composed the original. And I can’t say this performance was an improvement upon it.
DrjamesM May German music always bless the world
@@valsyoutube3331 i also much prefer the original Bach although Gert Is very talented as an organist.
Karen Noble: Agreed that he is extremely talented, but his cockiness and constant showboating ruins it for me. Just saying.
Bardzo dobrze zagrana improwizacja...jak zwykle piękne wykonanie z cudowną lekkością a zarazem powagą.Dziękuję i wielkie brawa!
Once again Gerts mastery of not only the organ but of the music shines through. He has taken one of the simplest of Bach's works and made it complex, and majestic. He ropes you in with his artistry and suddenly you find yourself wanting to shout in praise of his talent. Once again I thank Gert for sharing his music and his wonderful talent with the world.
The Greatest Organist I will have ever Known, here on TH-cam and in Person. Golden Performance, Gert.
Envoutant, fascinant
I know nothing about organ playing, but that is just fabulous
Wonderful! Even Bach himself would be proud of this interpretation…
Thank you David!
This is the BEST rendition I've ever heard. Way to go !!!!!! I greatly enjoy ALL your videos. Thank You so much for sharing your talent with us.
Gert , ik kan niet stoppen met het luisteren naar jouw muziek
Du bist Einer der wenigen, die ihren Daumen auf dem unteren Manual liegen lassen um ein besseres Übergangs Erlebnis zu gestalten 😁 herrlich
Ich mach das auch
Jean-Sébastien Bach comme tant d'autres et moi vous remercie de cette improvisation géniale. A Dieu seul, la Gloire. J'en ai les larmes aux yeux
remercient
@@micheldecrop3229 vous remercions
You have big eyes:) and I thank you and all the other organ musicians for helping me with depression. How can I be sad when I see and hear such beauty?
Fantastic! I think it's a very good music for wedding march. 7:04 at 8:45. I imagine my girl friend entring un the church with this music!
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏. My greating from North Carolina.
amazing!
Fantastyczne, przepiękne wykonanie. Brawo !!!!!
What a magnificent improvisation!
Wouaouh !!!! Absolutely amazing !!!! I am dumbfounded !!!
So noble and well-paced. I appreciate you not rushing this and the pedal is wonderful, and adds body to the melody. So unlike what others do.
Dziękuje za niezwykle piękne wykonanie .To bardzo wzruszające chwile ,kiedy mogę usłyszeć i zobaczyć Twoją grę na organach.
pozdrowienia z przemysla
Ce monsieur est un véritable virtuose !
C'est une musique céleste !
In a poll of professional musicians, this melody "jesu joy of man's desiring' was voted the best tune ever written :-) Bach wrote it at age 38.
Gert... when I first read the description of your performance of this masterpiece of Mister Bach's, one of many masterpieces that he composed in his lifetime, I thought to myself "Sacreligious, trying to improve on his 'Jesu'...". But then, of course, I listened. And then I listened again, and again. And the finest complement that I can bestow on you is that I really believe that if Mister Bach were to sit in that Beautiful cathedral with you and listen to your interpretation of his "Jesu...", that he would be smiling widely, and probably have tears of joy running down his face, listening to your beautiful interpretation.
And I believe that my mother, a church organist and choir director for forty six years, who could probably have played "Jesu..." in her sleep, would have Loved your interpretation here. Congratulations, young man.
By the way... you have admirers all over the planet, I am sure you know. I have introduced your organ performances to friends acoss the U.S., England, Ireland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Japan, Australia, Canada, and a few other places. Beautiful music travels far and wide.
Nā kāleka aloha mai Hawai'i... 🎶💕🌴
What a beautiful compliment. You made me cry reading your effusive compliment for Gert
I totally understand your caution on young musicians improvising the greats . I’ve heard young musicians mash up the greats .. but Gert stays within the tradition and the honor in which these pieces were played over hundreds of years. This is truly amazing for such a young guy. I’m deeply impressed on the improvising ... beautifully done. I wish I had better command of writing about music. I just wish to add to what you have already written. I agree with your comments 100%.
@@richardbenitez7803
Thanks for that. And you wrote that just fine. ☺
Even here in Ormond Beach, Florida USA. G
Music for the soul.
Gert, you created a wonderful peace of music. Many thanks.
Wow!!!!! Just Wow! What a Brilliant Improvisation!
What a magnificent Organ and you play it so well .And all from memory your amazing God bless you .
suis ébahi par la qualité de l'improvisation sur le thème de Jesus meine Freude....un grand bravo!
Gert, you are a pleasure to listen to.
WOW...just sooo fulfilling. A few chills in the last half too.
LOVE the very gradual crescendo, all your flourish and registration.
Just perfect to my ears, mind, heart and soul.
Wonderful playing, interpretation and improvisation.....Thank you Gert.
And I would have lifted my hands at exactly the same time as you.
