I wish I could be in Voorthuizen to hear you and meet you in person, but alas, that will have to wait. I am trying to arrange a visit back to the Netherlands sometime this year. Maybe I will be able to come to your next concert. Meanwhile I take great pleasure in following your blossoming career on You Tube. (I think I have seen almost all your videos.) Vriendellijke groeten uit San Bernardino, USA.
What a wonderful organ you are playing - is it one of the Eminent range? I am most interested in the organ you played when you won the Feike Asma competition (Toccata on Psalm 146 by Zwaart. Is it a pipe organ or a Johannus digital one? I could see pipes in the background, but cannot decide what I am hearing. Please respond. You are a wonderful player and hope you may make a trip to England one day to enthral people here.
Hey Branchporter, Yea, we missed Bach, Franck and some others, I think we are set for some great things from van Hoef. Remember in the early videos it looked like his organ was next to the refrigerator? It's been a joy watching him develop. I think all his USA fans should charter at jet to go see his concert.
Before I read what "Gman3782" said, I was thinking the same thing - "thanks for being born during my lifetime". When I found your first video 3 1/2 years ago, I was so impressed to see a boy who couldn't read music playing Bach "by ear". What a joy it's been watching you learn, advance. and become a professional organist in such a short time!
So wonderful as usual. After playing for more than fifty years I have never known such a great taltnt as yours. I just wish I could be at your concert. I wish you could come to California USA and do a concert.
I have been practicing a piece for 2 months and I still can't get it the way I want it. Could you please send me 1/16 of your talent? Oh, and one of those organs too.
Nice Job - thanks for being born during my lifetime.
If I could get the time off work and afford the airfare from Vancouver to Amsterdam, I would love to hear you play live. Unfortunately, that won't be happening, so I really hope there's a lot of good video of you playing at your concert on January 28th. Good luck and and play BIG! I love listening to you; you really are talented :)
I really do like the sound of this instrument you are playing..well as usual as I would not expect less of you. Such a talented youngman and glad to be your friend and fan.. Take care, Bill
Yes- absolutely beautiful organ Gert ! and of course beautiful music too !

Je bent van harte welkom en het concertorgel is een sensatie om te horen, dat kan ik je wel vast verklappen.
Maar als je van ver moet komen raad ik je aan om op tijd te komen, de zaal is geopend vanaf 19:00 uur.
