    Gert Van Hoef is a heaven-sent genius. His unbelievable and rare ability to make a magnificent organ come alive and speak to us in an eternal way is truly remarkable. The tears of indescribable emotion moved by this beautiful and immensely talented man are quite difficult to control. Thank you Gert!

    I like these videos showing Gert arriving in a new town with his entourage of friends and helpers. Then he tries out the organ and starts to get used to it. Gert's playing is always a joy to listen to. And he is such a lovely guy. At 7.44 he starts to play one of his favourite melodies. His improvistaion on this theme is glorious and pure Gert van Hoef!

    I'm compelled to comment! Love it! What talent you have. What singles you out from other great organ talents is your willingness and ability to express the breadth of what you feel inside as you play the music . This is what transports your performances into the stratosphere. I used to play the organ in church, but never developed further, unfortunately. Yet I seem to feel what you feel as you play and much of the time am in sync with the way you express yourself. And it's just such a marvelous and moving experience. I just found you today and immediately subscribed. I've already listened to a couple of hours now and am looking forward to many more hours of such bliss. Thank you Gert for being you. Never hold back what you feel inside as you play. That will be the key to your future.

    I agree, Gert, you're an absolutely brilliant talent! I've been a great fan of yours ever since I heard you play for the first time... when my jaw literally dropped below my knees :) Right, not only the music (improvisation in particular), but your general modest behavior makes all that experience just top notch. Plus the quality of the recordings is really good (in comparison to many other pieces found on YT).
