You are truly a wonderful organist, and a shining inspiration to aspiring organists the world over. Not only does your technical mastery shine in every line you play, but your love for the organ and its literature does as well, through the music and through you. Our generation needs you, to help bring the Organ back to the forefront as a vital instrument of the concert repertoire.
Good to hear you on YouTube again. Work on this piece, Gert. You are very talented, and I am sure that if you put even more practice into it you will master it. I think the best feedback I can give you is that I look forward to hearing this from you again in the future. It needs a little polishing.
C'est toujours un immense bonheur de vous voir et de vous entendre, votre jeux est vraiment magnifique . félicitations pour votre travail,continuez encore longtemps à nous émerveiller !
En toen weerklonk er een daverend applaus nadat de Jhr. Gert van Hoef klaar was met zijn concert...!
Ik zag de titel en dacht, ohja het is weer een toccata hoor !, die vind hij leuk om te spelen, dus dat zal vast wel weer een spectakel gaan geven, zeker toen ik alle positieve reacties hieronder weer zag wist ik dat het weer goed zat. Heel mooi gespeeld weer Gert.
Gert, I have heard this performed by persons who only know how to play the notes; you bring wonderful life to this composition, thumbs up for your skill at interpretation
immer wieder erfreust du mich mit diesem zauberhaften spiel der orgel, schön, dass es noch jugend gibt, die schon in deinem alter dieses instrument beherrscht ...
Very good and to do most of it without music :-).
The comment below about "too many wrong notes for my taste" is rather harsh I think, it is not supposed to be a CD recording, I find I tend to make more mistakes when I am being recorded.
@GrandeBombarde16 With respect I think that is another rather uncalled for response.
I have watched many of Gerts videos and I think he is very talented and a star organist of the future.
I would like to know how many wrong notes you would consider to be satisfactory for a youtube performance. I am sure Gert realises where he hit some wrong notes.
Even the best organists I have heard make the odd mistakes and some would consider their performance too fast or too slow, you can't please everyone.
@GrandeBombarde16 If you knew me, you'd realise I give credit where it is due, I do not argue and I am very open minded. It seems that on Youtube, someone somewhere is bound to misenterpret or take a comment the wrong way. At least we are in agreement that Gert is very good. There are a few "organists" on youtube that I could point you to where you would have a field day about wrong notes, lack of expression, speed etc, compared to them, Gert and your good self are top notch organists :-)
@GrandeBombarde16 A note to anyone wishing to take sides in what may seem like a silly spat... GrandeBombarde and myself are now great You Tube friends and have a lot in common and both think Gert is a very good performer. :-)
Je hebt het tussenspel met veel mooie rubato's en accelerando's gespeeld. Pas alleen op dat je de loopjes naar boven toe (progressie) niet al te veel accelerando mee geeft. Het gaat om nuances (poco á poco accelerando). De laatste wisselende akkoorden voor het slot van het A en het C gedeelte, hebben die niet een maat te veel bij jou? Of speel ik zelf altijd een maat te weinig? Ik zal morgen de partituur er eens bij pakken.
Dear Gert, I have no words to express my gratitude for this music, that you have us donate. It's beautiful thanks to your skill that knows no limits for this instrument loved by all. You learn the hard melodious pieces quickly and play they very well. You are a true professionist, a great master, the best among all those I have seen and heard in all the web.
A curiosity: do you know a period that dates from this jewel organ having a sound so wonderful?
don't ever wear cloths like Dian Bish, or i'll scream, lol. Keep it up, your great!

In dat accelerando (versnelling toch) heb je wel gelijk denk ik.
En over het slot. Ik denk niet dat ik het fout doe anders had ik het heus wel gezien. Ik zal het nog wel ff checken voor de zekerheid.
