You can see the music moving through his entire body! What a blessed young man to have such talent and depth to absorb that energy then translate it through the organ. God speed Gert and Family!
Je ne dais pas parler l'anglais certe mais je sais reconnaître un virtuose, le talent vous êtes formidable, je ne cesse de vous écouter bravz bravo et vive la musique Benoit un alsacien qui voys ecoute tous pratiquement tous les jours 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bovenkerk Kampen awesome I attended with my now deceased father in 1978 with my Aunt Willie and Uncle Henk . Thank You for the memory connection and tremendous play
Gert, thank you for this video today. You just made Saturday a whole lot brighter. This is another one of my favorites in your repertoire of music. Such a powerful ending.💙Thank you Bovenkerk Kampen.
Gert, this is one of my favorite organ pieces and you have made it sound even more magnificent! Thank you for your wonderful interpretation and playing ....
One of my absolute favourites and it's a good thing it's on CD and not vinyl - I'd have worn it out by now! Thank you, Gert, Marjolein and team. This is special.
Truly superb, Gert. Thank you to you and your team. So much work and practice, but an amazing performance. The music and your playing really takes listeners to another place. Absolutely wonderful. What amazing depth of sound. Thank you.
Schitterend Orgelspel Gert en het hele team, Gefeliciteerd met deze mooie Suite Gothique van Léon Boëllmann! Prachtwerk! Fijn Pinksteren voor jou! Z. Bernadette xxx
schitterende uitvoering van dit prachtige muziek stuk op dit geweldig mooie orgel! Er had, wat mij betreft, iets meer dynamiek in 'Prière à Notre-Dame' gemogen. maar verder werkelijk schitterend uitgevoerd.
Maravillosa y bella interpretación al órgano por parte de Gert. Música de ángeles celestiales para deleitar el oído de los humanos en este adolorido planeta. 😊😊
It's possible he might be the best in the world playing any organ, small to cathedral sized organs with keyboard pedals and all. I could be wrong. Nevertheless, he's a rarity
Ondanks dat het orgel niet geschikt is voor het latere Romantische Genre, weet je het goed te beheersen en te bespelen en zo geschikt te maken dat het toch mooi in balans is. Knap hoor.
P.S.: If by all means, you prefer to play this on an instrument from the late baroque period, please do so on the Christian-Müller organ of the protestant St. Bavo church in Haarlem: one less manual but no less than two 32-foot pedal stops, rendering to this piece the sonorous quality that it deserves and requires!
Definitely the music belongs to this church with its majestic acoustics but certainly not to this organ in its current condition: it sounds way too thin to even remotely suit the music, no wonder as this is post-romantic music played on a late-baroque instrument, meaning an anachronism of over one hundred years! Try again after adding several 32-foot foundation stops and at least one 32-foot reed. I keep wondering why this was never done, however I suppose it will take another 100 years for organ puritans to understand that such is an enhancement and not a detriment to the instrument, just look to the much older Schnitger-organ of St. Jacob´s in Hamburg, featuring both 32-foot foundation AND reed stops, unspeakably adding to the instrument´s sonorous majesty ... Otherwise, look to the Garrels-organ in Maassluis, since many years featuring a 32-foot reed and listen to the difference it makes ... After all, it was none less than J.S. Bach who requested a proper deal of "Gravitas" from the many organs he was asked to approve of in his lifetime: Soli Deo Gratia!

Immer wieder gern gehört, diese Suite, die nicht ganz leicht zu spielen ist! Klasse, Gert van Hoef!!!!
Clearly this young man has earned the title of greatest organist in Nederland. Unlike his hurried contemporaries he understands tempo is the key.
I'm glad you pointed that out. I thought I was the only one that feels many organists tempo is too fast!!
HARTELIJK DANK PRACHTIG MOOI, OP MIJN LIEVELINGS ORGEL IN DIE PRACHTIGE KATHEDRAAL AAN DE RIVIER.
The Bovenkerk has a very unique "silvery" sound. Brought out in this marvelous performance.
Not to mention, superb acoustics!
What a prodigious musician and accomplished Organist. His passion and energy is palpable, gives one goosebumps! Thank you Gert!

Quelle merveilleuse interprétation !!! Bravo Gert !!!!
Bravo Gert!
Amazing music and fantastic organist !
By far, the best registration and interpretation, among many, of this piece I've ever heard. BRAVOS!!!
Great! Best I ever heard this played. Exquisite registration.
Outstanding piece of music and expertly played.
Played this as a brass band arrangement in the 90s and one of my favourites ever since!
Have always loved this beautiful organ work - Suite Gothique, Absolute brilliant organ playing Gert. I really have to hear this live ;)
This is the piece via which I found Gert on TH-cam several years ago, so it is special to me...thank you Gert 🙂🎹🎶
Gert, thank you for this video today. You just made Saturday a whole lot brighter. This is another one of my favorites in your repertoire of music. Such a powerful ending.💙Thank you Bovenkerk Kampen.
Grazie per la bellissima condivisione
Great rendition. Excellent!
You are so talented making it such a pleasure to listen to your playing! Thank you!
The music of God! Bravo!
The tempo for Prière à Notre-Dame was perfect!
Gert, this is one of my favorite organ pieces and you have made it sound even more magnificent! Thank you for your wonderful interpretation and playing ....
I just love this. It gets better and better!!
0:00 Introduction
3:01 Menuet Gothique
5:40 Prière à Notre-Dame
11:04 Toccata
Over 2000 views so far. There should be nearly as many "likes". Our beloved maestro deserves that, don't you agree?
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous 🎶
New composer for me i loved this piece of music miss the biweekly livestream concerts in heb hunger voor your concerts Heidi hohman
Dank voor weer zo’n weergaloze uitvoering Gert👍👍😀😀
One of my absolute favourites and it's a good thing it's on CD and not vinyl - I'd have worn it out by now! Thank you, Gert, Marjolein and team. This is special.
A wonderful concert as always! You’re the man! Thanks!!!
Gewaltiges Werk - und hervorragend gespielt 😌 😍
This would be a great piece to include for a silent movie. Thanks for sharing with the rest of the world. Best Wishes from Washington, DC.

He never disappoints!!!
Truly superb, Gert. Thank you to you and your team. So much work and practice, but an amazing performance. The music and your playing really takes listeners to another place. Absolutely wonderful. What amazing depth of sound. Thank you.

Viewed 6-4-22 from USA Well played !!!!
Просмотрено 1-11-22. РОССИЯ. ПУТИН политический ОРГАНИСТ. ИС БАХ тоже был открыт не сразу, а только через двести лет.
Bellísimo, muchas gracias.
Thanks Gert.
Great sound of the organ. I love it when a player plays with passion.
Well done…very nice organ!!!
Thanks!
Marvellous ! Thank you. That tracker action looked heavy :O
Perfect! Thank you, Gert, again!
Thank you, Gert!! Enjoyed it very much!!
My goodness, you're SO talented!
Wauw, wat een krachtige en prachtige uitvoering.
Hans Fagius vibes all over hier.
Kippenvel moment.
Great performance! I love your interpretation of the piece!
Prachtige vertolking
Gr.jaco
My beloved Boëllmann performed by my favorite Master - what more could you want? Thank you :)*
Bravo!

Marvelous
Indrukwekkend!❤
Perfect play! One of my favorites.
Beautiful music 👏👏👏
Just “WOW”!
Absolutely Magnificent ! (Very majestic, Beautifully Played) ❤
The great Virgil Fox is proud of you from heaven. :)
I loved Dear Virgil, but he most likely would have played this too fast. Gert used perfect tempo especially in such great acoustics!
The best,!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!
Amazing!!!!
If ever in the states, come to Rochester, Minnesota.
His talent is undoubtable. My favorite organ I've heard for this music is the Cavalle at Rouen.
Magnifique !👏
Beautiful playing.
strict, high music. Thanks.
I have never heard the last chord played like that, but brilliant!!!
It's possible he might be the best in the world playing any organ, small to cathedral sized organs with keyboard pedals and all. I could be wrong. Nevertheless, he's a rarity
Very worthy interpretation for such a fine instrument!
Boellmann sound good on Bovenkerk under Gert’s hands and feet
Amazing.
Well done Gert, as always 😄
BRAVO!!!
Always appreciate the proper tempo, maybe even a touch slower here, on a beautiful old organ and registered to perfection.
Very good playing. You Press the Sound out from the organ. With the Register, and help with your assistents.
Awesome! 🎹🎶
🙂🙃🙂 Bravo!!!
nice, very nice.
the organ has some wind issues, right? 🙂

sempre pasticcione e ritmicamente impreciso. Si vede che piace.
Bravissimo
Is this a new stream or older? I see Gert is not wearing his regular shoes?
This is a previously unseen video. The recording was in June 2020
Read the description below the video, he played it June 9 2020 during the recording of his CD.
I’d like to go to kampen to see a fair young lady about a certain cambo b.v.
Hoi Gert, top !
Zou je de Vivaldi-Bach concerten kunnen spelen?
Hartelijk bedankt!
👍
Can you please share the stop / registration for each movement ?
Unfortunately I don’t have that information anymore
No problem.. I just purchased this organ sampleset from sweelinq. And wanted to have the same registration
wat een rommelige uitvoering, vooral binnen het Priere klopt het voor geen meter. Afblijven van dat soort stukken
Dag Ton, ik vraag me af of je het orgineel wel eens gehoord hebt. Want als dat zo was, dan had je geweten dat deze organist hem heel dicht benaderd.
@Marius Bijkerk I absolutely agree with you!
Sauber!
jammer dat dit orgel geen 32 vt bazuin heeft! verder prima vertolking van de toccata
Je zou nog wel wat registratieles op/over dit orgel kunnen gebruiken..... Vreselijk schel bij tijden.
Een vreselijke arrogante reactie .
