I don't consider myself a member of "The Knowing Few", but I recognize excellence when I hear it - and when I don't hear it. Continental Europe has fostered many outstanding organplayers - e.g. Richter, Koopman and Stamm. Gert van Hoef still has quite a bit of work to do before reaching their level of technical competence and interpretation.
@musicalhotcha: You're using strong words, but you're entitled to your opinion - as I am. Considering the age of Gert van Hoef, he's a very skillful musician. Disregarding the fact that we're talking about a very young man, he hasn't - to my opinion - yet reached the level og excellence. Tempo instability and not always hitting the right note on the organ, as I detect it in his performance, accounts for my assessment here. Again, though - here we have a very young man playing the organ...
@trygbugg Your points are well taken. He is still a young man, but with skills far above the rank and file. Had YouTube existed a century ago, and had Dupre & Vierne put videos up at that time, they might well have been criticized as roundly as in this forum. Given the fact that the organ, as an instrument, is being "beaten down" by many for the slightest imperfection of performance by the Knowing Few, it is hardly surprising that it is withering away in the musical mainstream.
Your playing has a light, joyful quality, executed with superb ease. And thanks for the English translation (above). Your countrymen make such great organs, whether electronically or mechanically. I am curious to know, Gert, which do you prefer? and what do you think of Hauptwerk instruments?
I will learn this organ piece. Please give me the information, who has arranged this piece to the organ, so that I can order the right piece myself. Thanks a lot!

Wonderful! And so darn young! I can only dream of playing like this! I thought at first it was the Eminent 9000 3 manual organ, but then I read "more" above. Excellent, and as someone wrote, the pedal sound is amazing! Great job...keep up your music and you'll go far!
Auch dieses Stück hast du einwandfrei gemeistert! Wenn du mir dafür auch Noten zu peter@gaertnerpeter.de senden könntest wäre ich dir sehr, sehr dankbar! MfG Peter. G.
@organspectacular - having listened to your boring performance of this, I hardly think that you "organ-UNspectacular" are in a position to critique this young man. Sure he makes a few errors, but is young and no doubt still learning.
Absolutely GRAND. As with all of his performances Gert has an extraordinary alive musicality and is superbly disciplined. Listening to his work is such a pleasure.
Wat mooi om te zien hoe je dit speelt.... tgaat allemaal zo losjes!!
Ga zo door kerel en heb in een andere reactie gelezen stop niet als je rond 20 jaar bent en begint met werken, heb ik ook gedaan, ga je spijt van krijgen
Gert : Heb je bij dit orgelspel, je linker hand nog in het gips ? Of lijkt dat maar zo ?
Voor de rest : Erg goed gespeeld, alhoewel ik vind dat het geluid van een Domus niet tegen een Johannus aan kan, maar dat is mijn persoonlijke opmerking
Klinkt heerlijk, Fantastische.... vind het geweldig dat je ze toch post ondanks een paar schoonheidsfoutjes.. zodat wij er toch al van kunnen genieten,
complimenten wacht alweer met smart op volgende posts :)
