Imagine turning a 24-minute progressive rock masterpiece into a 24-minute piano masterpiece, and it works like it never should have been anything else I can't believe how good this is 🤯
Honestly, I wanted this to be really good, but in reality it was about a million times better than I could have imagined. What a talented player and an inspirational interpretation of a classic prog song. Mind blown.
All five members of Genesis contributed to his amazing and ambitious composition. To think they were around 21 yrs old and created this work makes me feel terribly inadequate, but lucky to have been alive to hear it......both Mr. Prutsman's adaptation and the incredible original. Bravo indeed.
People talk about guitar players but the technical skill of piano players is absolutely astonishing. It truly is the king of instruments and this was brilliant. Well done Mr. Prutsman.
Stephen Prutsman has always been our favorite! (and just to think, when he was a young student he taught our 4 daughters how to play and enjoy the piano.
Why are a lot of these comments talking like Tony Banks somehow composed the whole thing. I'm not knocking Banks, his contributions were great but this was stitched together from a lot of fragments written by ALL the band.
This is just fantastic. Literally the best cover version of this piece I have ever heard. There is a true understanding of the inner details of the music, as well as its intentions and motivations, at work here. You have not only been able to play Supper's Ready on piano, but you have truly been able to get very deeply inside of it. I salute and applaud you.
This guy is good enough to understand everything Tony is doing and embellish certain major/minor changes and make it his own. It takes one to know one.....
Proof that Tony Banks will be remembered like other genius classical writers of the late 20th century for centuries to come. Stunningly interpreted by Stephen Prutsman.
A flower ? It went all quiet at that part, then the energy kicked in. What a masterpiece renditioning, so much light and shade, and emotion, to portray a Genesis number still fresh today. Thank you Mr Prutsman !
No words to describe this...absolute master arranger & orchestrator. His piano stylistical resources are endless, all the subtleties of the piece are there...
I am amazed. This is without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music ever written and the way it has been arranged and performed is grand and absolutely gorgeous.
This is what RUclips is for, sharing talent with fellow fans of great art. Excellent rendition, in many ways more passionate and moving than the 2 piano guys who cover Genesis. Sick left hand chops. The choice to leave it unresolved at the end was surprising and tasteful. Exquisite.
Very faithful to the original. This arrangement contains all the drama, beauty, surprise, melodious, raw, comical and quirky elements, along with the walls of sound and dark emotion with the difficult rhythms and counterpoint. Justice given to this pinnacle of progressive rock. This deserves, in my humble opinion, a full concert hall performance. BRAVO
Thanks Stephen for this marvelous arrangement and performance. Clearly a labor of love! Solo piano exposes the rhythmic and modal complexity of Bank's compositions...we were so lucky to have him/early Genesis in our lives...the apex of majestic, beautiful, powerful progressive rock (errr..., classical operatic music played by a jazz/rock ensemble?). Loved and appreciated the sweaty brow while holding down a 9/8 bass part & playing the entire solo section of Apocalypse!!! Godspeed in your continued musical and artistic endeavors!!!
Listening to this splendid piano transposition of Supper' ready, the words of Marco Lincetto, an expert and competent music producer and expert connoisseur of musical dynamics in the field of recording and mastering, come to mind. He states that prog as a whole is the greatest musical event of the second part of the 20th century and compares it to classical music for its expressive power, for the influence it has had and for the excellence of many authors and performers. Listening to transpositions like this of a suite lasting more than twenty minutes is proof that his concept is right. In fifty or a hundred years we will still be listening to King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, EL&P and other glorious bands of the period, while other compositions and albums will end up forgotten if they aren't already there. I certainly don't want to diminish other styles, other genres but only to underline this concept of Lincetto which I find very right.
I played piano for decades, just for fun, my best results were Trilogy and Take a pebble (ELP), Cinema show and Apocalypse in 9/8 (and something else but here doesn't matter). With Supper's I tried several times to play it without sing (with a terrible voice!) but without ... what I'm hearing here! I thought it wasn't possible for just one, and there it is! Beautiful! 😍😍😍😍😍
What a great perfomance. It makes me confirm, once again, what a genius Tony Banks is. I know the other 4 guys contributed a lot, but I doubt there would have been a Genesis without him.
This has to be the best cover version / arrangement I have ever heard. This is my favorite piece of music in the whole of Genesis' lifespan. Doing this composition justice on piano the way you did so brilliantly from every movement, mood and emotion down to the tiniest detail leaves me utterly speechless. I can only hope that this arrangement becomes available for the public to study and to enjoy. Chapeau!!!
Holy crap, I never would've thought it was possible for any one person on a single instrument to make a faithful cover of this song. This is absolutely incredible; hats off to you.
A good transcription can only come from a good composition. You can hear how good the original is. This version is truly stunning.Thank you for this great enrichment.
Sir, you truly illuminate what a great piece of music this is, by any standards, and how fully it is on par with the great symphonies and piano concertos. Magnificent. You've more than done it justice, which is saying a lot. Apocalypse in 9/8 and the finale were just breathtaking - I'm overwhelmed. Thank you kindly for applying such extreme efforts and your considerable talents to this brilliant rendition - you have brightened my evening, and I will surely return. 🙏🏼
This has so much personality, not just simple exact reproduction. The spirt is captured, the recounting seems wholly personal to the player, slightly different, like how memory of an event changes over time. In this case its just outstanding.
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I could make a comment! This is absolutely wonderful! Much like your last commenter, when I wasn't singing I was wiping away tears of joy. :-)
Thank you very much maestro. I'm bursting out in tears of joy after watching this magnificent interpretation of yours. Thank you very much for this labour of love to the music.
I can't stop hearing this piece even if I've heard it a million times yet throughout the years. Brilliant and emotional version, that of yours, masterful job.
I don't remember ever being on my feet after a RUclips video. This guy is a fan and I'm now a huge fan of his. Where do I buy tickets to the next show!
Bravo, sir. I've been listening to this masterpiece ever since it's release in 1972. A one take tour de force. Amazing arrangement. You have succesfully revealed all of Tony's intentions, with all the nuances and the notes implied in a rock setting. You clearly love this music as much as I do! " A brand new tune "
OMG!!! I couldn't even imagine that a performance like that would be possible. Congratulations Mr. Prutsman, the best performance I've ever seen and listened to
Highly impressive, especially how you manage to cover all the parts, even drums (I often think 'classical' arrangements fail when they bring a drumkit in, instead of letting available instruments cover the drum parts). Love how you cover the keyboard too, and you're not afraid to cover the vocals in the tenor/baritone range when so many would just play the melody with the right hand in the treble range.
Complimenti maestro Prutsman, magnifica interpretazione! Un altro esempio di quanto la strardinaria creatività dei primi Genesis producesse, in sostanza, musica classica...
Out of the thousands of videos on YT I’ve watched, this must be the most wondrous. Must be a labor of love. Thank you Steven. And the Bach on the music stand behind…👏👏
Exquisite! Your performance made me see beauty & expertise I never heard before. Even though I know these songs like the back of my hand, I never expected this level of interpretation. Perfect!
I was not expecting that. This was a tour de force performance! Bravo, sir. Like many commenters here I am left speechless. Closing the keyboard lid at the end was a well earned mic drop. I’m sure I’ll be revisiting this video soon!
This ist thé supper of thé mighty one. Man,you're really incredible. I've heard thé Song that ist really Special for me,and I'm singin with your playin from thé beginning to the end. Thinkin can understand your émotions n'y your fantastic performance.....and sorry for m'y terrible english....without words..fantastic
It's simpler than you think, you don't do it with those fraction numbers in your head, but purely by good ear for the relation if the notes with each other. I probably did a poor job of explaining that. But anyway, I'm sure he took time enough to have it down before performing it for the audience.
@@paolocoletti1574 It's not simple by any measure... By God, I've been learning Apocalypse in 9/8 on a keyboard for two years now, and I can only play the right hand solo despite my best efforts to catch the left hand rhythm. I think you just have to have a certain type of brain to do this, I can play one rhythmic part at a time, but definitely not both. Even The Colony of Slippermen from The Lamb album is easier to play than both hands in Apocalypse in 9/8.
A true masterpiece from all involved. A standing ovation from all listeners. You've not only got chops but a wonderful understanding of the piece. But you know all that. I thank you for this wonderful hour! (Gotta listen again...and again!)

I am not easily impressed. This, though, left me speechless, truly in awe. Maestro Prutsman: You have made the world a better place!
Imagine turning a 24-minute progressive rock masterpiece into a 24-minute piano masterpiece, and it works like it never should have been anything else
I can't believe how good this is
🤯
From someone who is 77 and cannot play a note,thanks for this beautiful rendition
Oh my God!! How can he play 9/8 with left hand and 4/4 with the right hand in the Apocalypse!!!! He is a "monster"!! Very impressive!!!👏👏👏👏
Was thinking the same thing
It's never too late to learn.
When he plays, sweat and tears run down his face. The same happened to me when I was listening to it. It’s simply incredible.
You've dared to go to the holiest of holies in the Genesis canon - & WHAT A VERSION. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Absolutely outstanding. When I wasn't singing along I was crying with joy. Thank you.
Me too Geoff, me too!
A masterpiece, gloriously reinvented!
As a Genesis fanatic, I think this is the best version of Supper's Ready I have ever heard.
Have you heard Yngve guddal's take?
I will check Intuit
Honestly, I wanted this to be really good, but in reality it was about a million times better than I could have imagined. What a talented player and an inspirational interpretation of a classic prog song. Mind blown.

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard anything as amazing as that. I am totally lost for words. Just INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!
Amazing. Glorious. Captivating. Superb. Utterly brilliant.
There are simply not enough superlatives for this. Absolutely amazing.
People talk about guitar players but the technical skill of piano players is absolutely astonishing. It truly is the king of instruments and this was brilliant. Well done Mr. Prutsman.

Bravo and respect
Tony Banks is a brilliant composer!!! Mr. Stephen Prutsman thank you. Great job :)
Why are a lot of these comments talking like Tony Banks somehow composed the whole thing. I'm not knocking Banks, his contributions were great
but this was stitched together from a lot of fragments written by ALL the band.
i think Tony Banks is the best composer among all the Keyboard Wizards of the last 50 Years.
This is just fantastic. Literally the best cover version of this piece I have ever heard. There is a true understanding of the inner details of the music, as well as its intentions and motivations, at work here. You have not only been able to play Supper's Ready on piano, but you have truly been able to get very deeply inside of it. I salute and applaud you.

He plays Skrjabin too for Studio Ajea
Holy mother of god.
And all that, without looking at the score.
Simply outstanding.
This guy is good enough to understand everything Tony is doing and embellish certain major/minor changes and make it his own. It takes one to know one.....
Remarkable performance! Greatly intrigued by Stephen's musical background and virtuosity - I must listen to more of his recordings.
Proof that Tony Banks will be remembered like other genius classical writers of the late 20th century for centuries to come. Stunningly interpreted by Stephen Prutsman.
I remember peter gabriel and steve hackett instead.
How does this not have one million views. So amazing.
How has Tony Banks not seen this? (maybe he has)
Outstanding. Some brilliant left-hand voicings, in particular.
You have revealed THE SONG. Bravo!
The guys a genius, that's totally insane in a good way.
Clicked on this on a whim and sat through the whole thing on the edge of my seat. Awesome performance. And nice stank face Lol.
A flower ? It went all quiet at that part, then the energy kicked in. What a masterpiece renditioning, so much light and shade, and emotion, to portray a Genesis number still fresh today. Thank you Mr Prutsman !
That's absolutely perfect. Great job.
Outstanding... and I'm sure Tony Banks would have the same reaction!
No words to describe this...absolute master arranger & orchestrator. His piano stylistical resources are endless, all the subtleties of the piece are there...
I never thought such an emotionally powerful song could be MADE MORE POWERFUL. Just amazing. I had goosebumps! Thank you for a wonderful arrangement!
I am amazed. This is without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music ever written and the way it has been arranged and performed is grand and absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely stunning! A masterpiece of music!
How great is this? I said somewhere else that this is like listening to it for the first time. Sublime.

Done it without looking the score, and in one go. Speechless me! More Genesis please!
This guy is definitely a hardcore fan. Wow
OMG, beautiful, after all these years of enjoying Suppers Ready, this performance had added to my Acuity for this music.
Very faithful to the original. This arrangement contains all the drama, beauty, surprise, melodious, raw, comical and quirky elements, along with the walls of sound and dark emotion with the difficult rhythms and counterpoint.

Genesis s music is an évidence of mélodic power..Can't really forget it
M. Prustman ! Heavy congrats on the best solo interpretation of THE masterpiece of Genesis.... ever !

Astonishing, amazing, awesome, overwhelming, unbelievably breathtaking...

Many congratulations on this masterpiece piano version of a great masterpiece. It should be taught in every music school and Conservatory.
Wow - Amazing!!! Just shows what a great song this is & how well Supper's Ready was put together!!
outstanding transcription, technique and musical performance. No words
Thank you very much maestro. I'm bursting out in tears of joy after watching this magnificent interpretation of yours. Thank you very much for this labour of love to the music.
I can't stop hearing this piece even if I've heard it a million times yet throughout the years. Brilliant and emotional version, that of yours, masterful job.

absolutely magical wonderful beautiful and enchanting....a musical masterpiece from Tony Banks....great playing Stephen
Dannazione!
Un fan di Che Guevara che suona divinamente i Genesis!
Sono letteralmente confuso......ma molto soddisfatto!!!!!
What a way to bring people together! Truly beautiful.
Absolutely superb. Every nuance expressed with aplomb. Amazing.
It is amazing what a great pianist can do with just 2 hands. This guy is a virtuoso.
Che dire, mi hai incollato allo schermo. Complimenti
Bravo, sir. I've been listening to this masterpiece ever since it's release in 1972. A one take tour de force. Amazing arrangement. You have succesfully revealed all of Tony's intentions, with all the nuances and the notes implied in a rock setting. You clearly love this music as much as I do!

This has blown my mind.
OMG!!! I couldn't even imagine that a performance like that would be possible. Congratulations Mr. Prutsman, the best performance I've ever seen and listened to
A virtuoso performance! Vielen herzlichen Dank!!
I'm absolutely speechless ! What a gorgeous, magnificent rendering of this marvellous piece!
(In the subtles of which I spent my teenage)
90 seconds in and I'm giving thumbs up. It sounds like two pianos playing. Beautifully done!
I'm only a few bars in, and I already feel the urge to comment on how wonderful this sounds. Great work, Maestro. ❤
🎹
Staggeringly amazing. I enjoyed listening to every moment of this.
please consider making your piano transcription record on Genesis selection !!! Must be CLASSIC
Beautiful memories, what wonderful music we had in those days!
Astounding.
Highly impressive, especially how you manage to cover all the parts, even drums (I often think 'classical' arrangements fail when they bring a drumkit in, instead of letting available instruments cover the drum parts). Love how you cover the keyboard too, and you're not afraid to cover the vocals in the tenor/baritone range when so many would just play the melody with the right hand in the treble range.
Mille mercis M. Prutsman! Quel prodige!!!
Magnificent rendition of a timeless piece of music legend. And that of my youth.
Complimenti maestro Prutsman, magnifica interpretazione! Un altro esempio di quanto la strardinaria creatività dei primi Genesis producesse, in sostanza, musica classica...
Magnificient!
This is amazing, by far a fantastic interpretation on one of the most (if not the most) symbolic works of Genesis.
Wow, just wow!
Out of the thousands of videos on YT I’ve watched, this must be the most wondrous. Must be a labor of love. Thank you Steven. And the Bach on the music stand behind…👏👏
Exquisite!
Your performance made me see beauty & expertise I never heard before. Even though I know these songs like the back of my hand, I never expected this level of interpretation.

Simply...thank you sir
I was not expecting that. This was a tour de force performance! Bravo, sir. Like many commenters here I am left speechless. Closing the keyboard lid at the end was a well earned mic drop. I’m sure I’ll be revisiting this video soon!
Why is this not performed at Carnegie Hall? It surely deserves to be played at the best theatres in the world!
Just wait for about 100-200 years, and it will be.
This ist thé supper of thé mighty one. Man,you're really incredible. I've heard thé Song that ist really Special for me,and I'm singin with your playin from thé beginning to the end. Thinkin can understand your émotions n'y your fantastic performance.....and sorry for m'y terrible english....without words..fantastic
My fav epic - and this showcases why- amazing
Hats off! I cannot believe there could be a better version than the original, but this, let me tell you mighty player, is quite close.
Amazing! Thank you for this prodigious and elevating musical journey.
Oh my god he's actually doing 9/8 on his left hand and 4/4 on his right at the same time during Apocalypse in 9/8
I think he actually enjoyed that bit best of all too!! BRAVO sir!!
It's simpler than you think, you don't do it with those fraction numbers in your head, but purely by good ear for the relation if the notes with each other. I probably did a poor job of explaining that. But anyway, I'm sure he took time enough to have it down before performing it for the audience.
