This is the best Piano Cover I have never heard of any song ever. I'm speechless, seriusly. The arrangement is just perfect, what a interpetetion....just WOW.
Massimo, that was absolutely fantastic!! I'm a 60 year old Genesis fan, and you played that beautifully! To recreate the original tune on just one instrument the way you do is phenomenal. Please keep playing Genesis songs and putting them on RU-vid for all of us around the World to enjoy. Thank you, you are amazing 😁.
65 here... I'm so glad I was born when I was to have this awesome group during my teen years and still today I'm in awe of their songs. Lesser in the later years. But these first albums up through around DUKE. Were fantastic. Tony Banks is Genius.
To play the piano this well is one thing….to interpret another’s music this is extraordinary. I’ve always loved this song…and what you’ve created here is just awesome.
Touch me now, now, now, now, NOW!!! Superb. The final 90 seconds brought chill bumps and tears to my eyes. Bravo. Just fantastic. From a 45 year long Genesis Superfan. Encore!!!
I couldn't hold back tears. it's so beautiful. this was the first great Genesis song I had ever heard and I have since become a prog collector. Thanks for these masterpiece on piano.
Era il 1981. Avevo appena compiuto 13 anni. Ascoltavo un radio che trasmetteva non solo musica di quegli anni (new wave e synt British invasion, che non mi piaceva) ma anche rock anni 60-70. Alle prime note del Carillon ne rimasi conquistato e per anni ascoltai tanta ma tanta musica progressive coi Genesis sempre nel cuore. In modo diverso oggi mi hai fatto provare le stesse emozioni . Grazie
@@KingCrimson82 I think that's a stretch to say he wrote nearly every note of it. The original chord progression is all Anthony, yes, and it was pretty much unchanged on the final version even though the arrangement was different. The guitar solo section was written by Steve, and the keyboards were of course Tony but they clearly take cues from the original guitar work, and I believe Peter wrote the lyrics but I could be wrong about that part. The final product was a highly collaborative effort, but Phillips deserves a writing credit for sure.
my god of all interpretation that I have heard, this is supreme. Massimo you take her to the highest mountain of music of the 20th century. Genesis by Anthony Banks👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💕🥰👌🔥🔥
This came on from "My mix". I thought it was 2 pianists - until I came over to see it was 1 guy / 1 take!!! OMG!!! What an arrangement of one of my favorite Genesis songs!!
Massimo - I can simply say, that I have never left a comment to a youtube video. I have no idea how you do it, but you catch the spirt, the beauty and the granulatity of the pieces, whilst giving them your own deliberate passionate elements. It is such a pleausre to hear you and to float away to a short island of inspiration. Simply supurb, simply Massimo.
I am honored and flattered by your comment, especially since, as you wrote, you generally do not comment on You tube videos. Thank you very much James!
The 'Musical Box' transcribes particularly well to piano. You captured the soul and technical touches of this piece really well. Really enjoyed this. Excellent. Thank you.
The Musical Box.O my ,he is actually able to capture the percussion propulsion of Collins, play the vocal melodies and good God,Steve Hackett's guitar solo note for note! Exquisite arrangements for Peter's vocal performance.This is,perhaps the most grandioso of Genesis classic composition.Dramatic and well executed.12 string transposition flawless.Bravissimmo!!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🇨🇦U are extremely magnificent!
He doesn't just play it. He "gets" it. Many can play notes. God designates the very few to create beauty. Keith Emerson was on so blessed. Massimo is in that cadre. Wakeman may be the only other one left. My heart aches with the beauty of this performance.
Absolutely beautiful. Your interpretation brought tears to eye (honestly). Playing Rutherford's 12 with his F# tuning, throwing in Hackett's flourishes, and then Tony's Pianet N solo and Hackett's joint solo. Totally amazing. Bravo!
That was.... absolutely amazing. I never thought such a complex song could be played like that solo on a piano. I wonder if Tony Banks ever thought of doing this.
What a performance Massimo!!!! I could almost see Peter in his tights with his "old man" mask acting out the "Musical Box". Bravo. Next I would love to see "Cinema Show".
Um grande obrigado ao público brasileiro que, segundo as estatísticas do meu canal, está procurando mais e melhor aprecia este vídeo (mas também outra mina). Muito obrigado, e viva o Brasil e sua bela música!
OMG you're a one man Genesis!! How beautiful! Your love for the piano is so evident ❤️ If Tony Banks were to watch this I bet he would be blown away! Thank you!!!
Brividi... da un classe '87 che si è avvicinato ai Genesis solo da pochi anni grazie per questa splendida interpretazione del brano loro che più preferisco..
Ci lasci sempre senza parole. Nessun altro raggiunge lo spirito unico che metti in tutti i tuoi brani. Darti dell'eccellente è riduttivo. Sono orgoglioso di italiani come te.
Magnificent, just magnificent - when reduced to a solo piano score, it sounds like some long-lost work by Maurice Ravel. Guitar lines, backing vocals, and counter melodies worked in masterfully, and never sound clumsily conceived or forced. Performance flawless also. Excellent!
WOW!!!! Beautiful. First time listening to this. You capture drums, guitar, keyboard and vocal and somehow get it all out with two hands, you capture rhythm and pad and emotion and what I love the most is that the most beautiful riffs from every member of the band, the ones that I always focus on when I listen to the song, are all the ones that you select and play, somehow, with just 10 fingers. As the song was approaching the end I was predicting there's no way you could capture what the Taurus pedals do but you did it. I think your Yamaha is perfect for this song, it really brings out the best. THANK YOU.
Genesis music is timeless and you have a feel for their music . Fortunate to have seen them when they started and were not famous. Thank you for your beautiful interpretation of their music. Grazie Steve
Christobel Carloff "The Musical Box"is already written as a classical composition. The intro segues in2 a movement,etc.and could be referred to as a "Suite". The only factor that makes it unorthodox,is that it is written 4a quintet of "rock instrumentation ".✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🇨🇦
Bravo Massimo! Each note of this song lives in my mind for over 30 years, and you manage to revive them for me with a new perspective, yet preserving the original genious composition. Kudos.
Such incredible attention to detail. This was marvelous. I said “I’ll probably skip to the later sectional and just couldn’t take my eyes or ears away from the first bite. Bravo!
Its April 2020, the world is a total f-ing mess, yet your version of this incredible song is one of the few things that brings me peace and comfort. I can listen to it on a loop for hours. It is so incredibly well done. Thank you Massimo.
Wow. You're right. In April 2020 I was in my apartment across the street from Elmhurst Hospital, the epicenter of the US breakout. I was sick for two weeks and felt awful! I wish I had known about this video back then! It would have been helpful. MASSIMO! Thank you for this wonderful arrangement. I'm a keyboard player and spent years in bands that covered this song. Your arrangement is brilliant!! I wish you great good luck :-)
Il y a 40ans, j'écoutais la musique de Genesis, et je me disais que c'était vraiment une chouette belle musique . En 2021 , de grands artistes reprennent ces joyaux mélodiques de la même façon que des orchestres reprennent du Mozart. Bravo à vous , c'était une belle interprétation. 😃😃😃
What a fantastic talent you have, Massimo. It's a beautiful interpretation of this classic Genesis song. Thank you very much for sharing it. You're great! :)
