One of the great discoveries that I have made due to COVID and its attendant lockdown is the wonderfully sensitive and deeply felt music of Gert. He puts his whole being into his playing and takes us with him. He doesn't just play the music; he lives it.
You are right Charles. He plays completely from his heart. It is one thing to be technically brilliant, but to play from your heart connects you to your audience in a very intimate way. He is totally wonderful. See you at the next concert.
Zondag 29 November, drie dagen na dat dit op youtube uitkwam heb ik belijdenis mogen doen van mijn geloof en na het JA-woord had ik dit lied als verzoek opgegeven. Kijk nu een dag later terug en zie deze post en denk wat een toeval, maar niets is toeval in deze wereld haha. Dankjewel Gert voor dit stuk schitterend.
Gert, we can feel your emotions and your heartfelt love for God coming through each note, each phrase that you play. So beautiful and this makes me want to fall to my knees to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ich weiß nicht, ob Gert an diesen Gott/Jesus-Kram glaubt, vielmehr scheint mir seine Motivation mehr in der Harmonie der Melodien zu liegen. Du solltest die besonderen Fähigkeiten begabter Menschen nicht auf diesen Götter-Mist reduzieren, von Göttern und Religionen geht nur Gewalt, Krieg und Tod aus.
I can only echo the sentiments of Charles Rae. Through 'covid' I discovered Gert's wonderful concerts and the highlight of each week is listening to his concerts.
Thank you, Gert. This is one of my favourites of all your arrangements. So beautifully played as always, with sensitive registration. I love that you take hymns with words that mean so much and help us to worship with them. God bless you and your precious family
Breathtaking beautiful. Gert, you never cease to amaze me with your heavenly talent. Thank you for playing this reverent hymn of praise. Truly you and the music are one.
Gert, we can feel your emotions and your heartfelt love for God coming through each note, each phrase that you play. So beautiful and this makes me want to fall to my knees to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for so freely sharing your gift. You are so loved. ♥
I love this piece! You are such an amazing organist. Here in the United States, today is Thanksgiving. I'm sure thankful for you and your organ playing. I'm so glad I have the opportunity to listen to your music on TH-cam. Keep it up, Gert and Marjolein!🙂
@@welovehugs1884 No, actually it celebrates the Native Americans helping the pilgrims learn how to grow food when they arrived in North America in the 1620's. I am a Christian myself and have nothing against any religion.
Thanksgiving Day (dankzeggingsdag), vaak verkort tot Thanksgiving, is een nationale feestdag in de Verenigde Staten en Canada waarop dank wordt gezegd (traditioneel aan God) voor de oogst en voor allerlei andere goede dingen. In de Verenigde Staten wordt deze dag gevierd op de vierde donderdag in november. In Canada, waar de oogst eerder in het jaar eindigt, wordt het op de tweede maandag in oktober gevierd. In protestantse kerken in Nederland bestaat de Dankdag voor het Gewas. Thanksgiving wordt gevierd met de hele familie en men legt grote afstanden af om bij elkaar te kunnen zijn. Omdat het in de VS op een donderdag valt, is het meestal zo dat werknemers ook vrijdags vrij krijgen. Daardoor wordt een familiereünie van vier dagen mogelijk.
@@welovehugs1884 If you don't agree with celebrating Thanksgiving, that's fine. Just because you don't agree with someone's beliefs doesn't mean that you don't have to treat them with respect. I'm going to accept that you have different beliefs than me, and I have no problem with that. God tells us to be kind to one another and to love your neighbor as yourself. You are entitled to your opinion and I am to mine. The point I was trying to get across in my original comment is that I am thankful that I have to opportunity to listen to Gert's music. I play the organ myself (certainly not as well as he does, though) and he is very inspirational. Have a great day and may God bless you.
@@welovehugs1884 Filippensen 4:6 Weest in geen ding bezorgd; maar laat uw begeerten in alles, door bidden en smeken, met dankzegging bekend worden bij God.”
It is lovely to observe your body motion when you are really'feeling' the music. It is as if your head and shoulders are also trying to play along! I was told years ago that when congregants could see me start to rock back and forth on the stool that they knew the music was coming from my soul. It was usually my best playing.
This song allways makes me cry you know it’s a funeral hymn but I get so emotional I have been to 4 funerals this year and end off last year mike swim xx
I bought this piece from Gert and played it at a very small church on HW organ using Piotr Grabowski Azzio organ three weeks ago. The people loved it, as I do. The Azzio organ has a nice tremulant. Thank you for publishing it. It will be a staple in my repertoire.
Gracias, Gert, por tu especial sentido de la transcendencia que alimentas con tu ejecución musical y así alimentas también nuestros corazones deseosos de un Amor que nos sobrepasa.
Dudley Diehl Millions of ‘Christians’ are asking, "Oh Lord, show your power!" Powerrrr!" “Let people believe in Jesus” (impossible prayer: never in New Testament!). "Let" this and "let" that "," let "so and" let "so! ‘Oh God, dont leave us’!!! But a). You blame God if something is wrong? "He" must "do it" while He did everything 2000 years ago? And YOU - 24,000,000 (24million‼️🇺🇸) “Christians” did not vote so that the Kenyan muslim commie Hussein O. could be YOUR ‘president’ for eight years and destroy and divisive YOUR (former) USA ⁉️ b). This is the Old Testament way of prayers, and in disbelief c). Often we try to force and strain God with many long prayers. Or with many, hundreds or thousands! God should try hard! No! God cannot be manipulated, not even by these prayers that often go with shouting. But dear (Pentecostal) believer, God is not deaf. And He wishes much more these things than you wish! God is more motivated than you are! And then this. Heb13: 5b, the Amplified version says, “... for He [God] Himself said, I will in no way abandon you or give you up or leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] in no way leave you helpless, nor abandon you or let you down (relax My hold on you)! [Certainly not!] And then there are still Christians who are moaning and groaning and cry, "Oh God, be with us!". "Be near to us!"... "When we leave this place, come with us oh God!" En: "Oh Lord don't leave us!" "Don't take your Spirit from us!" "Stay with Your Spirit!" That seems very spiritual and humble, but it is also a Christian that prays in unbelief and ignorance, unbiblical, self- and not God-centered and even simply by religious pride, Prov13:10, Jac3:16. It is Old Testament and not for an adult Christian! Everything we think we do without God(s Word) is actually prideful. Because "I" can and do it myself! While God clearly says many times that He will never leave us again; in Heb13:5b even five times in the negative in Greek, especially read the ‘Amplified’ to experience that certainty, peace and joy! And never praying ‘backwards’ (like ‘cursing’?) again! Most Christians then point to Ps51, but this is the OT where the Spirit came upon people and left again! Although David had a great deal of faith in his heart, he was not born again, nor was the Spirit permanently indwelling like the New Covenant believer! Anyway, what terrible ‘prayers’ for the Christian actually, prayers of unbelief, through ignorance and wrong teaching! It has nothing to do with faith, but it is just another knowledge problem. It is clear then that we do not know Father and his Being! Most Christian offer sacrifices and many prayers to God and ask God ‘never to leave them’, but also believe that God does not really hear them! But He always hears, it is not His fault!
Love this hymn respect fore those who have died I fave been to 4 funerals 2 this year and 2 last year I sang this hymn and could not Finnish it I cried so sad but what a wonderful hymn sad but to the point Mike swim
Hi Gert, this is one of my favorite instruments, love the sound of it. I can't wait for your concert from Bovenkerk. Im in US but listened to so many of your concerts that now I know about 3 or 4 words in Dutch, lol
First heard him play this beautiful piece on another organ. The sound of this instrument got me to subscribe to the Bovenkerk Channel. From Chicago, U.S.A.
Hi Gert. What a blessing listening to you behind the organ.very inspirational. Would not mind listen to you in a live concert. God bless on this talented man
What a wonderful performance by Gert - he is the master and my thoughts echo others who have said how Gert puts all his feelings and sensitivity into his music which is so important not just play the notes. Thank you Gert.
A beautiful piece to ponder on God's abiding love for us. Thankyou for this special gift of music to us on a day when we reflect on God' blesings in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.
You & your beautiful wife, are a gift from the Most High. May you live long enough to come to Carnegie Hall, once the executive board installs a credible pipe organ.
TODAY in the US is our national Day of THANKSGIVING - Giving thanks to Al mighty God for manifold blessings, especially in the establishing this nation on the foundation for Western Culture, which is the Word of God. What a blessing and benediction is your inspired playing of "Abide with me, fast falls the eventice." Thank YOU for this "bonus" among the many concerts we have come to love and appreciate. With immense gratitude to you and your "lovely assistant" who is ever at your side. Blessings! Shalom! & Selah!
So einen Blödsinn über allmächtige Götter und ihren Segen können nur verblendete Hinterwäldner oder amerikanische Republikaner raushauen, die an Trump oder Putin glauben.

he is an absolute master applaud he has the gift of god in playing the organ
I like this boy all the songs I listened to - perfection
Thanks for this hymn. When i lived in Nice, the priest pointed out that the author of this hymn is buried in the Anglican churchyard. Good memories

Gert makes the organ sing!
One of my favourites! Great emotional performance!
I had to watch this for my presentation😭🙏
Thanks, Gert! We were in Kampen in 1993.I remember stuffed cow pending from the church window.
Quelle sensibilité dans cette interprétation ! Bravo Gert !
This song allways makes me cry you know it’s a funeral hymn but I get so emotional I have been to 4 funerals this year and end off last year mike swim xx
Never was heard a sweeter rendition. Thank you.
Bliift een mooi stuk om naar te luisteren.
Zeker i.c.m. met de warme klanken die uit dit orgel komen.
I can enjoy organ music so much more, having watched your feet as well as your hands as the music is created! Thank you for these videos!

Azzio is a beautiful organ for sure. You should make a video from Gert's Abide with me, and upload it to your channel, and then share it here.
Dieses Lied ist was ganz besonderes, es entstehen schöne Gefühle und Empfindungen im innersten.
Wonderful Gert. Such a comforting piece for these troubled times. Thank you
erg mooi in die prachtige kathedraal en orgel in kampen aan de rivier, succes gewenst dame en heer dit is genieten hartelijk dank.
Gracias, Gert, por tu especial sentido de la transcendencia que alimentas con tu ejecución musical y así alimentas también nuestros corazones deseosos de un Amor que nos sobrepasa.
Best wishes Gert and family, wishing you een Gezeegend Kerstfeest and een mooi 2021, from Vancouver Canada 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
Zo’n prachtig lied… Adembenemend, dank!
Love this hymn makes me cry every time I hear it. Wonderfully played mike swim xx
I guess in some countries 'thumbs down' means, "I love that!"
Excellent!
Gives me much more appreciation for the beauty of this hymn. It was my grandmothers favorite and sung at her memorial.
