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 TH-cam 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.
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
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.
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!
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👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💕🥰👌🔥🔥
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".
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!
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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!
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..
Le finale est épique 😮. Merci à Massimo d'avoir repris ces morceaux des 70 qui sont des véritables bijoux, de l'époque où les gens faisaient de la vraie musique avec des vrais instruments. L'exécution par un instrumentiste de haut niveau met en relief la qualité de la composition, ici je présume que c'est Tony Banks qui a construit ce véritable édifice sonore, qui restera bien évidemment. Je suis un fan de vos interprétations ! 🎉
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.
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 ".✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨🇨🇦
@@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.
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 :-)
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.
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! :)
Maestro Bucci, complimenti. Con questa esecuzione lei ha rivelato lo scrigno dei segreti di Tony Banks e soci, c'è di tutto in questo brano, dalla Classica al Jazz. La sua partitura è meravigliosa.
Massimo, I have become addicted to your videos. I've studied piano as a child and then I went on to study percussion, but I'm a failed musician, as I become a photographer. I love the fact that you are covering music that I love and grew up with and your versions are by far the best covers I've ever listened to. Thank you! Please continue doing what you do best!
What a nice treat to hear this beautiful piece arranged & performed so skillfully! I look forward to listening to many other tunes you've posted on YT! Most of their great earlier albums take me back to my college days as a music major and much more carefree time. Ahhh...but alas, my brunch Genesis listening experience is about to be rudely interrupted as I must mow/trim the yard...and it's been like 110 degrees here in the Midwest lately(!) :(
In recent weeks, the views and appreciations for 'The Musical Box' and 'Firth Of Fifth (2014)' have increased significantly. Thank you all :-))).
Massimo Bucci they are that good
Thank you!
BRAVO ! ! Grazie mille per la sua sublime interpretazione!!!
The reason is simple: you were able to elaborate your masterpieces out of two masterpieces
Massimo bravissimo. Vorrei che suonassi ancora la musica dei miei adorati Genesis. Grazie per averci regalato questa grandissima interpretazione.
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.

Finally !!!! Someone who play Genesis piano in original " REAL TIME " !!
A Genesis masterpiece played by a genius. Not just notes strung together, the full emotion of this great song captured with great skill. Bravo sir!!

He has turned Genesis into classical music for the future generations.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Mamma mia ma cosa scrivevano questi qua? Che spettacolo assoluto. Formidabile performance!!
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.

7:55 he plays both Gabriel's singing and the backing vocals perfectly

I am 60 and this is absolutely brilliant, I've seen Genesis twice and they are probably the best band I've seen live...Well done.
Pianista eccelso, The Musical Box al pianoforte e' veramente tosta!
Applausi.
Da fanatico dei Genesis dico che questa è una meraviglia. Dirti bravo sarebbe banale.
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".
I am speechless. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!! I have sooooooo much LOVE for this. I could watch this everyday for the rest of my life.
Thank you Renee!😊

This makes the hair on my arms stand up, goose bumps and all.
Maria, thanks!
It is such a fantastic masterpiece of music, played in an extraordinary interpretation.
I wish I could experience your music live one day.
This cover is so like the original song it's not true. Massimo Bucci deserves the loudest applause he can get for it.
One of best PIANO MAN...
Pls do keep the GOOD work !
Greetings from Indonesia
Listened with eyes closed ... close to perfection ('73 live album in mind).. wow!
Ahhh, one of my all time favorites. Can't get tired of the Musical box... "Play me my song, here it comes again."

play the vocal melodies and good God,Steve Hackett's guitar solo note for note!

Totally agree
I am a 62 year old genesis fan and this is a fantastic rendition of a genesis classic bravo massimo😂
Absolutely wonderful...the very best rendition I've ever heard...and I never missed any of the other musicians or vocals...it did it all for me.
Thank You Mike :-)
You did the incredible. I had the same impression as when I heard it from Genesis. Really well done. Дякую! Greetings from Ukraine.
Thank you very much! Українська сила!
Listening this, I have the sensation that a rock band wrote a classical masterpiece. Bravo for the execution.
Stunning! Fantastico! I was thinking "If he actually plays the guitar solo, I;m done..." Incredible.
Impressionante la fedeltà all'originale a livello di spartito.
Magnifica maestria.
Da brividi.
Grazie.

Brilliant Genesis, brilliant, you! Thousand times and more. Just amazing, dude, just amazing!
Well that got me going this morning. One of the best genesis piano arrangements out there.
Thank you, Thomas😊
I just listened Franklin McIntire guitar version. That was very well indeed and I enjoyed every note...but this! Pure genius!
Just brilliant, took me back to my teenage days growing up in the 70's....thank you !
When geniuses meet geniuses!

Bravo!!!! 1970s Genesis was a group of five geniuses, shown in this piece of music. Here it is played by another genius - Massimo!
I Genesis sarebbero orgogliosi di questa splendida e fedele interpretazione !!!
Più che i Genesis direi Peter Gabriel ...
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.
OMG you're a one man
Genesis!!
How beautiful!
Your love for the piano is so evident ❤️

I bet he would be blown away!
Thank you!!!
Thank you Laura😊

best solo piano performance i've ever seen. this has the same life as the original full band with just two hands and one keyboard. amazing.
Great!! Dislikers do not deserve to see any of Massimo's performances
carlo rustico why do you fix on that, there is so many that likes it, just ignore them, that is the only way to go forward. C’mon you should know that
prodigiosamente evocativo come la prima volta in cui ho sentito i Genesis…1971. Straordinario: non solo tecnica ma grande capacità evocativa!
