For those that perceive Genesis as a rather noisy rock band from back in a dim distant hairy period or maybe even a treacly eighties synth rock outfit..... this would be a great way of cutting through the tag and demonstrating the true brilliance of their music.
Growing up with Genesis - this is fabulous. Brings back memories of my youth putting on an LP and headphones and discovering and enjoying the earlier Genesis.
Holy mother of God!!! The heart-wrenching beauty! I had to stop after The Lamia. Your interpretation is exquisite!! Cinema Show, oh, Chamber of 32 Doors, Lamia so beautiful. All of it is fantastic that I've heard so far. On to the next half. Thank you. Thank you so much for doing this I have to buy this! ❤❤❤
I am speechless , hush hush hush , i am trying to say something , but i still am speechless , oh , got it got it , this is the ultimate translation of the best rock band into great pieces of classical music ,.On the top of the stairs there are thousands of people found themselves the summit of music at it;s best , congratulations , you'r all there and and we all deserve it . She's a lady , she is mine , oh brush your hair back and let me get to know your face, now now now now now .

The work of love you did on "Mad Man Moon" or "One for the Vine" eclipses the imperfections in - say - Firth of Fifth. In my youth I spent countless hours on my 16 rpm record player writing down Genesis scores. I assume that nowadays modern digital equipment makes the task less daunting, but you went the extra mile with arrangements full of sensibility. What you did here is extraordinary. Thank you for sharing it.
I am a classical music junk, only love Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert etc. But this is very good, I also like the recordings period Genesis, with Steve Hackett.
I am exclusively a J. S. Bach fan. Of course, progressive rock and rock music are very different, but in my opinion, one can enjoy both classical and rock music. I often wonder, whether Bach would understand or enjoy jazz, progressive rock and, say Queen with Freddie Mercury.
La interpretación de esta selección es de un respeto y una belleza que nos deja mudos para mayor disfrute. Muchas muchas gracias por haberlo hecho y llenar mi espacio.
The arrangements, orchestration and production are marvelous. This is a wonderful cover and tribute to rock's greatest band. You have captured so much nuance and magic that is Genesis. Bravo!
@@uckbee Agreed. I think it is because Phil is so open comically that many misinterpret him as silly or cringe-worthy. It is a style thing (that currently is uncool), but I am sure over the long hall Genesis will be seen as one of the best ever.
@@rk41gator The Doors, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eagles and Fleetwood Mac among many others can all lay claim to be greater although I grant you Genesis is in the top 10.
Amazing work, you managed to find a beautiful balance between respecting the original intentions of Tony Banks and your feelings and interpretation. Indeed these are not covers, they are interpretations. Chapeau !
I love the interpretation of "Moonlit Knight" here. But I have to agree with many of the critics here referring to "Firth of Fifth." With a piece - in my opinion, at least - that is one of the finest works of music composed in our lifetime, and where millions of die-hard, loyal fans are able to recognize every single note - melodic and harmonic - you're doomed if it isn't right on. I do, however, appreciate so much that the effort to arrange and perform music like this is no easy task at all. I also love the approach to perform this in such a way as to give it a chamber music atmosphere. Very nice.
Totally agree. When first listening to Steve's solo on FoF here I was pretty sure that he couldn't be spot on, but he is. And I've listened to that solo thousands of time, sometime two or three times in a row.
This is all quite good. My personal highlights are One For The Vine, Mad Man Moon, Duke’s Travels and Seven Stones. Dukes Travels was unexpectedly miraculous! Thank you for this gift!
I don't really care for these covers and no one will EVER beat the original Genesis sound but I absolutely love the fact that Genesis music is covered by so many artists and tribute bands. The music of Genesis is astounding and deserves to be remembered as some of the finest music in the history of popular music. Genesis music is modern classical. Beautiful.
I never get tired of the original sound, it was groundbreaking then and unequaled today.. I guess transcribing for unplugged instruments is a way to make the music more palatable to aging ears and give a different perspective. But with few exceptions, much is lost, indeed, not the least being its original soul.
Maravilhoso trabalho, ainda não conhecia.....Ouço Genesis quase 50 anos e fiquei encantada e emocionada com esse áudio!! Lindo demais!! Bravo!! O arranjo pra Watcher of the Skies ficou sublime, lindo demais!!!
Same here. I began listening to them back in 1977. It's going to be a 50 years anniversary in a couple of years. This interpretation takes me back through the years and to the times when we were younger.
Oh my God, what an amazing piece of work you put out here! Thank you very much! I never realized just how hauntingly beautiful Watcher of the Skies actually was!
this piano interpretation of Watcher is unbelievable. like an overture to a theatrical production, themes and variations. various melodies intersecting. well done!
I am for sure, if you find the right people surround you to make a tour through Europe to start with, and just do this playlist there must be a crowd full of people who wants to listen to you when you perfom in theaters. So well done sir! And oooh the sweetness of the violin and the love of the piano keys, words cannot catch the depth of it all. Masterfull done.
Amazing album , every harmony is put into its clear perspective slowing sometimes the tempo to show every note’s beauty .Fantastic , it is like listening to genesis for the first time .
Thanks for your records it’s wonderful and also inspiring ….. especially for me an Indonesian Genesis fan who also playing Gw Edi’s songs with my bands 🙏🙏👍👍😎
El mejor y mas bello tributo que he escuchado hasta ahora. Una joya para los seguidores del Genesis y que sepan apreciar la música académica. Saludos desde Venezuela (La perla de América del Sur). The best and most beautiful tribute I have heard so far. A jewel for Genesis fans who appreciate academic music. Greetings from Venezuela (The pearl of South America).
Hey, I gotta hand it to any musician who tries to replicate Banks compositions, and manages to get very close. These are 'covers' but also interpretations, very enjoyable to listen to as background music, quite different without Peter/Phil singing.
This really shows what outstanding musicians these men were. Genesis melodies are exceptional, especially when presented in this manner. I love '7 Stones'.
Ho ascoltato le tue magnifiche interpretazioni seduto al pianoforte all'interno del piccolo teatro di Bevagna che conteneva non più di 50 fortunate persone..musicalmente parlando è stata una esperienza quasi mistica..grazie
this is for me something as extraordinary as listening to Crimson jazz trio, you could just put this albums in high volume and everyone will be able to hear them, even for those who doesn't like prog rock, classical music always feel listeneable
Wonderful, although Firth of Fifth intro is difficult to listen to with the note changes. And the times are marked incorrectly. Horizons starts at 0:00, Watcher Of The Skies starts at 01:28, and so on.
Although I get what you are saying, there has to be some leeway given in this type of project. But this into would have been simple enough to stick to the original. As my grandfather used to say ‘Boy, if you fiddle with something long enough you’ll fuck it up. But if this is available for download, it’s going into my collection.
The more I listen to other musicians playing Genesis songs, the more I admire Tony Banks.
6 лет назад
for playing it? because most of the genius of genesis was in gabriel, who'd had serious classical music training. the fact that genesis songs sound so great when transposed from rock to a more classical ouvre has probably much to do with this fact.
Sempre tive o secreto anseio que a música dos Genesis fosse um dia divulgado nas escolas e que fosse tratado com o mesmo respeito que outros grandes compositores de séculos passados . Que fosse tocado por grandes orquestras sinfónicas de renome. Os Genesis são únicos e formam o que de melhor existe musicalmente. Mesmo separados quem sabe temporàriamente, continuam a executar suas obras primas um pouco por vários países. Existem outros grupos de rock sinfónico como os Yes, Procul Harum, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd...que foram tocados também por grandes orquestras contemporâneas de renome. Os Genesis contam histórais do passado, o presente e o futuro que nos emocionam ,
i love you, whoever made this. i was begging for drumless genesis songs to sample them as my rap beat. finally. and what a catalogue, 2 hours. can do multiple. thank you, your interpretation is cute.
For those that perceive Genesis as a rather noisy rock band from back in a dim distant hairy period or maybe even a treacly eighties synth rock outfit..... this would be
a great way of cutting through the tag and demonstrating the true brilliance of their music.
This is delightful.
We Genesis lovers may owe everything to the very early Italian fans.
And possibly to the Italian groupies, if there were any.
This is magnificent.
I see quite a few negative comments but to my ears it's a very good interpretation from someone who is obviously a true lover of Genesis.
Looking for said comments but I can only find the well deserved praise
They belong to our world, the world of Genesis music and magic.
Growing up with Genesis - this is fabulous. Brings back memories of my youth putting on an LP and headphones and discovering and enjoying the earlier Genesis.
Holy mother of God!!! The heart-wrenching beauty! I had to stop after The Lamia.

Wonderful comment. I also agree, your arrangements are uplifting, powerful and respectful of the Impressionistic nature of Genesis.
Firth of Fifth cannot possibly be perfect without Gabriel, Hackett and Banks. Moonlit Knights is performed insanely well IMO.
I am a classical music junk, only love Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert etc. But this is very good, I also like the recordings period Genesis, with Steve Hackett.
Tony Banks heeft ook klassieke muziek voor orkest geschreven. bv. ruclips.net/video/NF69G7IkcBs/видео.html

Excellent ! I hope these masterpieces will be played forever in concert halls
Amazing work, you managed to find a beautiful balance between respecting the original intentions of Tony Banks and your feelings and interpretation. Indeed these are not covers, they are interpretations. Chapeau !
Beautiful renderings from the original composers to those who are blessed to have such wonderful tastes to replicate such geneiusis!

Plus the fact that the members of Genesis were in their early 20's when they wrote these tunes. I wish I could write music this good.

I particularly appreciate your very accurate harmonic arrangements of these beautiful masterpieces. 🤗 Bravo maestro!
nice job it shows how musical genesis tunes were
Excellent. Time Table is brilliant.
This is so awesome! Love the little details and quotes inbetween songs, I think I heard the end of Duchess blended into the end of The Lamia
oh my goodness.....thank you so much.
My 3 favorites: 'Chamber of 32 Doors', 'Mad Man Moon', 'Blood on the Rooftops'.
Oh my God, what an amazing piece of work you put out here! Thank you very much! I never realized just how hauntingly beautiful Watcher of the Skies actually was!
Its becoming my favorite on this rendition of Genesis music.
this piano interpretation of Watcher is unbelievable. like an overture to a theatrical production, themes and variations. various melodies intersecting. well done!
Wow, I've been a Genesis fan for almost 40 years. Never saw this album before. Well done!!!
Nor did I
Beautiful production and musicianship. Loved it. 🎉.
Fantastic

So well done sir! And oooh the sweetness of the violin and the love of the piano keys, words cannot catch the depth of it all. Masterfull done.
This is the best instrumental version of Genesis’ best songs. It’s soft and pleasant. Thank you!
... love it sooooo much - thank you !!!!!! 😍
OUTCH! My soul trembles...
Celestiale. Da ascoltare dopo aver superato un ostacolo una delusione. Musica che fa acquistare di nuovo fiducia nella vita. Musica eterna
BEAUTIFUL!!!🎶🎵🎶🎵🙌🙌🙌🙌♥️
Ad averne di musica ambiente così!
Love it. INCREDIBLE
Magnificent !
All those memories ....
Horizons is from one of JS Bach's cantatas! The Genesis boys knew their classical music!
Fantástico! Qué forma tan increíble de disfrutar de Genesis de nuevo.
That's exactly what I thought. Well said. Just wondrous to the ears and brain
Amazing album , every harmony is put into its clear perspective slowing sometimes the tempo to show every note’s beauty .Fantastic , it is like listening to genesis for the first time .
Bravo, Francesco Gazzara, for creating study/lounge music out of Genesis old stuff!
Thank you. I'm enjoying this very much. Perfect for enjoying the melodies of these wonderful songs.
Excellent and beautiful!!! Great job!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for your records it’s wonderful and also inspiring ….. especially for me an Indonesian Genesis fan who also playing Gw Edi’s songs with my bands 🙏🙏👍👍😎

Beautiful

Genesis, and other contemporary musicians, forms a subset of our generation's classical compositions.
This really shows what outstanding musicians these men were. Genesis melodies are exceptional, especially when presented in this manner. I love '7 Stones'.
so geniously
Fantastic (for me) !!!
Brilliant echoes and tranformations
Bravo!!!!
AMO A GENESIS POR SIEMPRE !!!
El mejor grupo de la historia de la música. Por supuesto con Peter Gabriel
Ho ascoltato le tue magnifiche interpretazioni seduto al pianoforte all'interno del piccolo teatro di Bevagna che conteneva non più di 50 fortunate persone..musicalmente parlando è stata una esperienza quasi mistica..grazie
Merci. Merci beaucoup.
Maravilhosa a música do genesis... muito bom pelo inrumental, parabéns
Maravilloso!!!
Genial cover.... extraordinario... Gracias mil por subirlo
Gracias totales
Pero quando adentra la parte de Phil hay una pierda de qualidad.
tutta la vita genesis. all my life this music for every one on the world....

For COMPOSING it. Tony Banks, not Gabriel. The master, not the jester. The Maestro, not the puppet.
@@GraachAhimThe veneration and admiration should be enough for both of them: Banks the composer, Gabriel the magician.
Tony Banks - a master! And underrated...
IMHO it’s banks’s chords and hackett’s melodies that made them the Lennon and McCartney of prog.

Hi, great work. Just one (minor) thing: the time links in the track list are those of the songs' ends not their beginnings.
brilliant
Wonderful!
Great job!!!
