I first saw this video several years ago, and have since tried listening to other players and versions, but I always come back here. Gert is by far the best organist that I've found, and this is my favorite performance of his. Just today, for the first time, I watched the first Pirates movie, and that brought me back here to see and hear this outstanding performance. I hope Gert gets to Texas, hopefully Houston, as I'd dearly love to attend one of his concerts. Long live Gert!!
Every time I see this I keep thinking, feet moving, hands moving, brain burning, eye's looking at some notes, telling Jan what to do and make sure he hits the right buttons. and giving that organ a workout I'm sure after this song it will need a tune up. What a wonderful organist for sure, Wish I could fly in from the USA just to see and hear you play in person. Again Gert you made my day. BE happy.
This. Gert you just rip through this, def ultimate pirates version territory here. I bet the entire crowd left immediately to commandeer a vessel of some sort. Also, this organ is extremely well voiced for this piece, and the pacing is perfect for the venue.
every time I try to just listen to this in the background at work, I can't. I have to watch it, and no matter how many times I do, I'm n awe every time!
Etait-ce un moment de grâce de Gert jeune ? En tout cas il y a une énergie incroyable dans cette interprétation. Un chef d'oeuvre qui dépasse toutes ses autres prestations ultérieures, sauf peut-être celle de la Danse Macabre. J'ai vu des jeunes de 11 ans fredonner ces morceaux en les écoutant distraitement, en train de jouer aux Legos !!! C'est tout dire du génie de ce Hollandais qui, à mon avis, a transformé et renouvelé la relation de l'orgue avec le public. En soi, c'est tout un exploit !
Just in case I never commented on this before, this was a beautiful and masterly performance of a great piece of music. I love returning to this every now and then. Well done, Gert!
Amazing! I play this every once in a while. I love how the guy in the background goes from arms crossed to disbelief! The other old boy concerned if the organ is going to catch on 🔥 Gert you blew the dust out of the pipes on that organ like no one else I am sure! From Canada 🇨🇦 with much admiration!
Was so happy to hear this in Alaska this week. You are a wonder. Thank you and Marjolein for coming to play for us in little old Fairbanks. Do come back.
Every time I find a new piece that you play I am amazed by your talent! The foot/pedal work on this piece was beyond fantastic and the emotion you put into your work is our this world. Thank you again... I love listening and watching you play.
Geweldige versie van dit meest gespeelde stuk van Hans Zimmer! Ik hoop meer van dit soort muziek stukken van jou te horen/zien. Maar als nog!.... Geweldig gespeeld Gert!! En Jan natuurlijk ook!
Buitengewoon klasse😀👍 zo ontzettend goed en mooi zeg. Misschien wel goede muziek voor een nieuwe atraktie in de Efteling, daar hoort deze muziek zeker thuis.
Amazing Gert! You put so much energy into this piece to make it sound very exciting. Sheer genius. Hands, feet, stops, music, directing - brilliant. 🙂🙂
Rollicking fun, and some of the best organ playing I’ve heard. Edit: i’ve now listened to this 3 times. At 5:50 it gets absolutely transcendental. Astonishing sound.
@Robin Nyfelt It's an improvisation on themes by Hans Zimmer. I love the contrast between the passion of the young player here and the astonishment of his elderly listeners behind!
Wonderful Maestro , I played the Church organ when I was your age never excelled ...so inspiring .must hear you live if your in the UK or I come to Holland
Fantastic performance!!! Love the incredible footwork!! We are seeing and hearing another prodigy, like Mozart, Beethoven, etc.! This young man is developing into a GREAT organist!!!
hallo gert! sehr gut gespielt!! kenne das stück als blechbläser sehr gut und es macht irre spaß dass ding zu spielen! deine improvisitation ist super! lg!
I´ve seen today is your Birthday! From me HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We all love your playing. It´s so nice to see you in your great videos! But celebrate your day and have a Lot of fun with the organ!
Bravo, Gert! Bravissimo! Gert is back. Thanks God! This is the Gert we knew, this is the Gert we loved: the king of the kings of the instruments, but the one that never looses his smile. I am tired and bored to listen performances of the same piece dozens times where people only value the same manner to play that they learned from their teachers who had learned from their older teachers, and so on... Gert has its OWN mood -and in my very modest opinion- he ALWAYS wins, It's a pleasure to have a breath of fresh air that Gert give us. Thank you very, very much, dear maestro! (And I wish you a very happy birthday)
Fantastic playing you put so much into it. I just love watching you play on You Tube every day. You are a very talented person and have brought pipe organ music into the 21st century. Looking forward to hearing you play at Hanley in August. Keep up the good work, you are a genius.
Het pijpwerk heeft echt wel een zeer mooie klank, en je kan zelfs van je speeltafel naar de pijpwerk kijken en naar de mensen hoe ze je concert beleven.Trouwens een mooi stuk!
Fantastisch, nooit gedacht dat een orgel zo heerlijk tot kippevel toe kan klinken, ik gooi de Casio de deur uit. Prachtig om te zien hoe jij een moderne slinger eraan brengt. Meer!
I saw some other Orgel plays of caribian. But this is the best sounding and best interpretation. Finding the right settings for a instrument makes a huge different.
Superb !!! What I like best about this talented artist is that in addition to his obvious technical skills and his matching his registrations appropriate to the instrument, his tempos are always appropriate to the piece, yet immaginative. That is what sets his performances apart from and far above so many of today's speed demon or music box performances . Classical, popular, film scores: for me, at least, he does them all wonderfully well . Many BRAVOs!!!I greet this artist on the threshold of a brilliant career !
Samen met de versie van Claudia Hirshfeld vind ik dit persoonlijk de mooiste versie die 'k al heb gehoord, 'k krijg kippevel van je overweldigende performance. TOPPIE man
This is by far my favorite arrangement of the Pirates themes. The soaring melody with transposition near the end is the only version I have heard. Gerd made this organ sound its best.

Hello Gert van hoef thanks for putting me in the foreground but what does it mean?
ain't you the guy who annoys francis in malcolm in the middle
Gert van Hoef I did ! You are amazing. Never stop.
Gotta admit... the pedals on this piece would be a fidgeters dream
There are several versions of this on TH-cam. This is by far the best.
It's been ten years since the premiere of this video. I haven't found a better organ performance of this song yet. Congratulations

the late days he didn't tell Jan anything, they talked with looks and were almost one..
His soul does all the work :)
sure,, that's the most outstanding features he has🤩😃
This. Gert you just rip through this, def ultimate pirates version territory here. I bet the entire crowd left immediately to commandeer a vessel of some sort. Also, this organ is extremely well voiced for this piece, and the pacing is perfect for the venue.
fantastisch!
It's not a stretch to say that Gert has become one of the truly GREAT organists of our time, and at a very young age!!! WELL DONE GERT!
I CRY listening to this guy play, watching his fingers dance across the keyboard. Oh! for one atom of his talent
I' m your fan, for years! Thank you Gert Van Hoef!!!
Greetings from Northern Germany!
every time I try to just listen to this in the background at work, I can't. I have to watch it, and no matter how many times I do, I'm n awe every time!
7:05, with the pedals.. WHAAT. That's incredible.
This whole thing was incredible. Good work! :)
I love the hidden language you and Jan share during your performance. He contributes greatly. Excellent job both of you!!
Wat een gigantische climax! Dit is geen muziek meer, dit is kunst op het mooiste instrument ooit gemaakt. Prachtig
Net over Gert gehoord op SBS6, maar nu al fan. echt geweldig
What a wonderful music master this young man - I wish him the world of good luck and happiness

I sat here clapping until my hands were raw at the end, with tears running down my face. That was awesome. Well done. And thank you.
mooi! en een stuk uit de film Pirates of the Caribbean!!
Just in case I never commented on this before, this was a beautiful and masterly performance of a great piece of music. I love returning to this every now and then. Well done, Gert!
me too
Wow! Fantastic. Amazing performance. Incredible footwork! Outstanding. Bravo. Thank you.

Stephen Walker me watching all the movies I know some notes were not added in(overall great performance)
FANTASTIC!!! improvisation and registration....coming from your soul...
Amazing arrangement. Shows the versatility of this instrument to its best. Excellent
Great !!!!!!!! Hi is playing simply better than world famous names . Bravo Maestro !!!!!!!
The audience would have enjoyed watching you play instead of backs to you. Very awesome playing and energy!
Sehr geehrter Herr Gerd van Hoef, liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, ich bewundere Sir sehr,ich höre mir sehr oft Ihr Ogelspiel an. :-)
This is one person who can definitely multitask!!
The fact that someone amazing can play this is beyond me!
Amazing! I play this every once in a while. I love how the guy in the background goes from arms crossed to disbelief! The other old boy concerned if the organ is going to catch on 🔥 Gert you blew the dust out of the pipes on that organ like no one else I am sure! From Canada 🇨🇦 with much admiration!

Leuk voor de zondagmorgen voor de kerkdienst 😂😂

Unbelievably beautiful played... I'd pay to see this!!!
The audience,Such a lucky people
Geweldige versie van dit meest gespeelde stuk van Hans Zimmer!
Ik hoop meer van dit soort muziek stukken van jou te horen/zien.
Maar als nog!.... Geweldig gespeeld Gert!!
En Jan natuurlijk ook!
When you go loose on that organ the result is in one word; fantastic!
Buitengewoon klasse😀👍 zo ontzettend goed en mooi zeg. Misschien wel goede muziek voor een nieuwe atraktie in de Efteling, daar hoort deze muziek zeker thuis.
❤❤❤ Tot tranen toe bewogen! Prachtig! ❤❤❤
Wat een prachtige samenwerking tussen jullie 2
Echt een chemie tussen jullie
Toppers
Ich kann das Stück eigentlich nicht mehr hören. Jede Bläserklasse spielt das....
Aber hier machts wieder neue Freude!
The amount of goosebumps I got from this..
@Tulga Kağan Temel - Same here, every time I see Jan!
Amazing Gert! You put so much energy into this piece to make it sound very exciting. Sheer genius. Hands, feet, stops, music, directing - brilliant. 🙂🙂
Rollicking fun, and some of the best organ playing I’ve heard.

Виртуозно!!! Красиво!!! Талантливо!!! Аплодируют стоя!
magistrale interprétation qui me donne à chaque fois " la chair de poule ".Bravo et merci.
Een stuk spelen wat zo moeilijk en mooi is en dan nog zo rustig erbij zitten? Mij niet gezien. Zeer knap!!!
Fantastic performance!!! Love the incredible footwork!! We are seeing and hearing another prodigy, like Mozart, Beethoven, etc.! This young man is developing into a GREAT organist!!!
No matter what, I keep returning to this video. I like this version of Pirates of Caribbean so much. Well done, Gert! 🙂
Just listened to this again, Gert, you are the best!!!
Als altijd, meeslepend en bij wijlen krachtig en gedurfd ! Dank U Gert.
thank you for the beautiful music I'm impressed Gert yesterday listened to her all night sincerely Wojtek
Vous êtes le meilleur organiste
What an amazing instrument. I have never seen such instrument. And you mister play it beautifully.
Gert, you really blow life into these beautiful old baroque melodies! And with such ease and elegance, quite unbelievable.
Mr. Spock would say Sir he plays the notes and does not blow into anything...
Its not a baroque melody, its from a movie...
@@praestant8 That was the joke.

Truely the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Gert you are amazing! You make the organ talk. Jan you do a great job too. Well done.
Fantastisch, nooit gedacht dat een orgel zo heerlijk tot kippevel toe kan klinken, ik gooi de Casio de deur uit. Prachtig om te zien hoe jij een moderne slinger eraan brengt. Meer!
Bravissimo 🎉 è sempre un'emozione riascoltare e rivedere questo video.

This is by far my favorite arrangement of the Pirates themes. The soaring melody with transposition near the end is the only version I have heard. Gerd made this organ sound its best.
Ich beneide dich, wie du die Orgeln beherrscht, phantastisch.
Bravo. Absolutely fantastic.
Outstanding performance! Wishing you a very happy Birthday and success in your endeavors
When you were actually supposed to play amazing grace, but you show amazing grace.
One of the best instruments in the world! so versatile, and plays in any style! cant wait to start my lessons! :)
I love it! I believe Eric Scherder (professor in neuropsychology, specialized in music) would have a field day with your brain!
A young genius at his instrument, I am speechless. Go listen to his rendition of Toccata &Fuga D minor
Herr Bach would be so happy!
Incredible skills!!!
Mooi Gert, op het station in Amsterdam vond ik je ook geweldig spelen, ga zo door.
Groet Ria Philipsen

Ria Philipsen IK BEN OOK NEDERLANDS HALLOOOWWWW!
Brilliant, as usual. Well done, Gert and Jan!
Brilliant version. Wish film composer could hear you.
Dit zegt me ineens zoveel weer meer sinds de uitvoering van het Gelders briljante orkest op de Sail!☺
Happy Birthday, Gert!
Happy birthday, Gert!!!
Best of luck in your studies at the conservatory.
