Some have said that 18 year old Gert van Hoef's interpretation of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is the best they have heard.

You may know Gert's story:
Only months after Gert's family got a home organ, he "cut his teeth" on this same Bach piece, learning to play it by ear and by watching videos. At that time he was 13, and couldn't read music. He posted it, abbreviated and not without mistakes, but showing great potential. The link is below. Shortly after he posted this five years ago, he began studying music in earnest. Here is the first of his now over 145 videos which have been viewed nearly 3 1/2 million times.
