That’s was unexpected Gert I’m catholic and attempt organ at church the sound of music is so uplifting I’m tempted to play it before mass, love all your music god bless.
What's more you can see Morjolein moving to the music! It's hard not to enjoy yourself listening to such a masterful performance let alone being a part of it!
Sir, you are a good man and great organist. Keep your eyes on God and you shall be blessed beyond measure. How fortunate, because of your talent that you and your family, including young Thomas will probably get to see the world eventually. Please come to the USA Gert, we love you over here too.
Christopher, doesn't God bless anyone who doesn't keep their eyes on "Him" above? So, keeping eyes on him (and capitalizing pronouns) is what God wants and the way God wants God's creation to behave? So, if you're not keeping your eyes on "Him" above, then God will not bless you? God will be mean to you? Trying to understand that religion. So, eyes down, one is in big trouble with God? And God will just not bless you, just for that?
henning flat I’m sorry you feel that way. I’d encourage you to think on that some more. Existence is a pretty vast thing, and the likelihood it’s just happenstance is so slim it’s almost literally 0. Not trying to sound sardonic, but I’ll keep you in my prayers. Stay well.
Christopher Rychlik and@@dannieto1453: The answer to what "does God allow, and justifies," has historically been explained by religious society as "Free-Will." As defined, God "allows" us to have the free-will to make our own decisions, and assume God will forgive the Sins of each human in the afterlife. "Eyes on God" is meaningless; because it can encompass everything that "WE know" about how God will measure us, but decide with His own Rules, leaving us to figure it out for ourselves. Good luck.
Once again, so beautiful! Another outstanding display of musicality watching the slow buildup and then an giant crescendo. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
Despite my ever growing admiration and affection for you and the spendid work you do, Gert, I didn't really expect to enjoy THIS as much as i did. It seems no matter WHAT you choose to transcribe and perform you almost can't help but bring a joyful, especially endearing,, always fascinating quality to your playing that's truly irresistible. I havwn't been able to bring myself to interrupt one of your videos yet. Ialways sut here TRANSFIXED. Your interpretations of Bach, Vierne, and Widor are deeply serious and superbly played. Your TRANSCRIPTIONS place you in a UNIQUE class of performers who can edify, enlighten, and pleasantly entertain equally at once. In short you seem to have EVERYTHING and MORE. God bless you and keep you and your dear family. By the way your always lovely wife, Marjolein, looks especially BEAUTIFUL in this video. I imagine your little Thomas must love hearing you play Rodgers and Hammerstein too!
As host and producer of the Dutch version of the Singalong Sound of Music I must say, this excellent performance brings back sweet and good memories. Chapeau!
WOW! This treat helped me recover from the long drive home from the concert in Hanley Stoke on Trent to Northern Ireland. You two are amazing. Gert you are an inspiration.
What I found so endearing is seeing both of you moving in unison to the music. During "Somewhere In My Youth" you were looking at each other and smiling. How blessed you both are, united by the love you share and the music you play.
Lieve Gert, als trouwe volger geniet ik elke keer van jouw muziek. ben chronisch ziek en bedlegerig. het is zo fijn dat jij dit online zet. het is voor mij een zeer grote wens jouw een keer live te horen spelen maar met mijn slechte gezondheid is de kans steeds kleiner. heb ook geen centjes voor een cd dus ben ik you tube dankbaar. en deze muziek is heel erg geweldig lag mee te zingen met je. zo fijn jouw vrouw ook te zien genieten toppers zijn jullie hoor. ik hoop nog lang te mogen genieten
Anita, Wilt u dat ik zijn laatste CD voor u koop en deze naar u in Duitsland laat verzenden? Je bericht zei dat je het geld niet had en bedlegerig was.
@@TerryP1922 ja ik lig grotendeel op bed door ziekte. wat lief at je mij wilt helpen dat waardeer ik enorm. ben stapel gek op orgelmuziek. alleen ik weet niet hoe ik contact met jou kan komen heb evt wel een email itterbeckje@outlook.de
Gert , your performances never disappoint.😃Simply beautiful. I love the tempo changes and how easily the music flows from one melody to another. I love your version of the Sound of Music and thank you for another wonderful video. You are a fantastic, talented organist and the best I have ever seen!!!!!!! I loved the ending movement. BRAVO, BRAVO. STANDING OVATION!!!!!😬😬😬😬
Once again Gert smashes it. I have listened to this several times in the cd. It's just brilliant to see you play it. You both, as I have said before , obviously enjoyed the music so much. It's infectious. Go team van Hoef!
Lovely arrangement & performance. Perfect for my lazy Sunday morning listening, straight into the playlist..! Thanks to you both. This is what You Tube is best at doing, sharing talented musicianship with the world.
Absolutely wonderful. You are living proof that the Pipe Organ is capable of so much more , than just limiting it to composers from 200 years ago. I recognize that they have their place, but modern music truly does to. Thank you, most enjoyable.
Really splendid performance! Nice, enjoyable, powerful and subtle altogether. I so much liked it ... and it is impressive to see Marjolein not just as an assistant but co-emotionalist and genuine synchrone worker. Well done!
Gert, You did such a beautiful job with your arrangement of the Sound of Music I was in tears. Many years ago I Played "The Captain" in that musical at The Blackstone Theater in Chicago with a well known group. Thank you for a job well done! Many Blessings on your continued success! Fr. Len ✝✝
Timeless songs. First time I'm hearing the organ version & by Gert. As usual he excels. Marjolein is moving with the music.& looks stunning, younger of course.
What i especially found amazing (besides the amazing organ playing) is the way Marjolein interacts with Gert and the music. If you block the bottom part of the video, it looks like their play quattre mains. Rocking back and forth at the same pace, very musical, and so well cooperated! Really an enrichment.
This is at least 15th time listening this piece! Finlandia is also one of my favorite piece. Gert plays so good, that listening his playing I feel like being in Heaven already.
Ah, what to say, my smile just got bigger and bigger as you played on...terrific arrangement ....thank you! I wish the closing shot had gone on just a little longer...you both were having such fun. : ))) John W.
A brilliant performance of some wonderful music! Thank you. I am fortunate to have found and subscribed to your channel some time ago. I thoroughly enjoy your music making. All the best to you and your family.
I am so impressed. One of my favorite all time musicals! I wish I could have been there to hear this performance! BRAVO! Thank you for doing this. (I am not related to the composer ... but I sure wish I was!).
Beautiful! From Newfoundland, Canada.
Prachtig gespeeld gert! Zoals altijd❤
I listen to this at least once a week. Thank you!
That’s was unexpected Gert I’m catholic and attempt organ at church the sound of music is so uplifting I’m tempted to play it before mass, love all your music god bless.
I never expected to be so thrilled by a rendition of "Do-Re-Mi" ! Wonderful performance!
What's more you can see Morjolein moving to the music! It's hard not to enjoy yourself listening to such a masterful performance let alone being a part of it!
I don't know how many times I can watch this? Maybe as many times as I've seen the movie, Endless!!!!
'
its so cool
I first saw this movie in 1964. Gert you play this sooooo well. I love it
Wonderful performance Gert and Marjolein, played with a great virtuosity! Love it very much!
No matter how I feel, hearing this makes me smile. Thank you sir.
My warmest and heartedly childhood memories revolve around this film and its music
zo mooi,dank Gert en Marjolein.

I wouldn't come to the US. I'd be afraid of getting shot by some lunatic. ...or by some gang banger. ...or by a cop. etc...
Dan Nieto Imagine being so vapid you come to a video of a man in a church playing a church organ just to complain about religion being present

Hier word ik vrolijk van. Ik ben een groot fan van je Gert. Dank voor de filmpjes.
WOW! This treat helped me recover from the long drive home from the concert in Hanley Stoke on Trent to Northern Ireland. You two are amazing. Gert you are an inspiration.
That was brilliant, Gert!! Such an accurate arrangement of the original score, and perfectly executed.
The sound of music is one of my favorite musicals, I'm so glad you posted this video. This is an absolutely beautiful arrangement! I love it!!
yankee1219 ...made an old fella happy here in New Zealand...loved The Sound of Music since 1965....
Lovely arrangement and performance. Well done Gert!!
Another branch of Gert's amazing musicianship. Fantastic arrangement and playing.
Dankie Gert en Marjolein. Ek het elke oomblik van die video geniet. Dit is meesterlik uitgevoer.
That my Friend was Absolutely Awesome! What a Gift from God you have!
How lovely to hear this young lad play the sound of music 🎶. Fantastic xx
Wow. Bert is dancing at the end. Love it
Do-Re-Mi - how awesome!! Delightful arrangement! Thank You!!
Just lovely. This definitely shows how a beautiful organ can sound when played by a great organist.
I am definitely coming to hear you when you are next in Hanley UK..,,☺️☺️☺️
What more could one ask for in this selection and done by such a talented musician and his bride helping him. Keep it going Gert.
Geweldig
One of my favorite pieces by Gert! Love that last stop pull on the final chord..... CHILLS!!!!
me hizo regresar mentalmente al pasado, incluso recordar la letra en inglés, genial
Zoooooo lekker dit !! Heerlijk Gert. Jullie zijn echt een goed team en niet alleen als man en vrouw. Dank voor het plaatsen !!!
wonderful performance, I only wish that climb every mountain was in the medley as well.
What I found so endearing is seeing both of you moving in unison to the music. During "Somewhere In My Youth" you were looking at each other and smiling. How blessed you both are, united by the love you share and the music you play.
I've heard many organists in 60 years, and you are one of the best. You have the soul of the music and the machine.
Beautiful playing.

Thank You Gert!
Lovely arrangement & performance. Perfect for my lazy Sunday morning listening, straight into the playlist..! Thanks to you both. This is what You Tube

Maravilhoooso. Quando Gert toca, lembro-me desse incrível filme com Julie Andrews.
Absolutely wonderful. You are living proof that the Pipe Organ is capable of so much more , than just limiting it to composers from 200 years ago. I recognize that they have their place, but modern music truly does to. Thank you, most enjoyable.

Beautiful and excellent....hats off to you both
Bravo! Bravo! Excellent performance Please come to New York to do a concert👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Watched in a theater the year it came out. Thanks.
Beautiful
Ah, what to say, my smile just got bigger and bigger as you played on...terrific arrangement ....thank you!
I wish the closing shot had gone on just a little longer...you both were having such fun. : ))) John W.
I agree, don't stop the video just because the music stops, just seems so abrupt an ending to a fine work.
As a pianist I am fascinated by skilled organists such as yourself. Very solid gorgeous version
Absolutely stunning! But I missed "Climb every mountain"
Brilliant!
This is beautiful
A brilliant performance of some wonderful music! Thank you. I am fortunate to have found and subscribed to your channel some time ago. I thoroughly enjoy your music making. All the best to you and your family.
Another splendid and masterful interpretation to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon...Jerald Bartlett
OMG, Gert. I thought I was the only one who played the Sound of Music on the organ. All you ever hear it played on is the piano. That was MAGNIFICENT!
Prachtig, genoten van je orgelspel. Dank jullie wel 👏
WOW-!!! I get the keyboard, but, wow, the foot movement..... geeze, i am amazed at watching his feet on the lower pedals... good job
Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gert you are an inspiration to all young organists, I found you on here and cannot wait till the next recital well done.from a chap in the U.K.
I am so impressed. One of my favorite all time musicals! I wish I could have been there to hear this performance! BRAVO! Thank you for doing this. (I am not related to the composer ... but I sure wish I was!).
Pleasant indeed…more of the same, please!
Super cool deine Musik zu hören
You are so amazing !
Gerts feet dancing on the pedals! Mesmerising to watch
Epic. Bravo Gert.
