Wonderful interpretation. Not that I think that anyone wouldn't like to hear this in its entire beauty. Nevertheless here are the time stamps for the different tracks as far as I could figure them out: 0:47 The lamb lies down on Broadway 4:38 Ripples 8:58 Carpet Crawl 12:11 Entangled 16:45 The Lamia 21:52 Firth of Fifth 26:40 The Cinema Show 31:46 Anyway 36:09 Afterglow 38:51 Many too many 41:04 Hairless Heart

Many years ago I went back to my old school a year after I left, and played a selection of Genesis songs on the piano as an introduction to prog rock. Cant quite believe I had the nerve to do that at 17 in front of a class. I was not at this level though. Beautiful performance.

Dopo questa esibizione posso confessare di essermi. Emozionato e commosso.. Si.. Perché ogni epoca ha le sue appartenenze. E visto che il mio pop. È stato rappresentato dai Genesis. Essere arrivato vivo è vedere che il mio pop è il classico per una nuova generazione mi da gioia..!! Grazie per questo video e alla sua sensibile interprete..

Take away the bass and drums, the lead guitar, electric keyboards and reduce the music to its bare self. Absolutely wonderful. My head is filling around the piano adding the lyrics and other instruments from so many years of playing the lps. It’s another way to enjoy the amazing music of my favourite band. I would buy this if it was released. Beautiful playing, thank you.

Wow, this is a towering achievement of musicianship. I enjoyed it immensely and will listen to it many more times. Thank you.

Tony Banks has the gift of being able to hear it before he strikes the keys. The song is in his minds before he writes a note. Man is a legend. This gal’s style is very sublime.

Those people that know Genesis material come from a following of dedicated listeners, who know every note, phrase, and will cynically critique. Yes so there were a few "un-moments" but she gets the gold star award from me. To do a medley of this caliber, takes years of dedication to emulate their songs including all the improvised vocals. An exceptional work of art. Well done

Wow. Quel magnifique interprétation. Mais surtout, quel bel hommage à Tony Banks. Après avoir écouter leurs musique pendant toutes ces années, j'ai eu la révélation de constater que la véritable âme de ce groupe, c'était lui… Sans rien enlever aux autres membres du groupe, je suis content qu'il ait enfin eu ses lettres de noblesse.

It also admires me how one person may know so many complex songs by memory. And I know there are some other pianists in YT who play very well Genesis songs and I equally admire.

Choosing the best of storytelling classical genius like tony banks is like asking Picasso or Rembrandt to choose their favorites. A+ for interpreting the best parts of these phrases, hooks, bridges, and verses. Many try. Few succeed. Bravo.

Bravissima Elpidia! Grazie per questi tre quarti d'ora di pura magia. C'é tanta passione e bravura nella tua interpretazione e mi hai dato tanti spunti per eseguire queste meraviglie al piano, anche se non sono bravo come te. I Genesis sono una droga, non ne puoi fare a meno........ piú li ascolti e piu hai voglia di conoscerli, di esplorare quell'universo meraviglioso e di perderti nell'immensità della loro musica. Grazie ancora Elpidia, per averli interpretati cosi' bene🤗

These are very beautiful and passionate interpretations of some of Genesis’ most melodic and immortal songs during their genius prog era. Thank you for this wonderful gift, Elpidia! I loved every moment.

non solo la musica ma anche il cantato riesce a riprodurre veramente brava!!

Elpidia Giardina restranscripts the whole poetry of Genesis Music, but she shows her special sensibility to the contribution of Tony Banks ! Great great job !!

Music truly is an art form. So much feeling goes into a painting or a sculpture. The same amount of "feeling" goes into a piece of music. Beautifully done!

Probably the most beautiful theme that Banks and Hackett ever put together. The closing guitar break is not at all flashy but makes your heart bleed especially when it segues into Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats. Thinking about it a bit more, I feel that if you listen to Supernatural Anaesthetist, The Lamia and Silent Sorrow then you have possibly the three most haunting and melancholic songs in succession anywhere.

Eccezionale esibizione di spessore questo certifica la grande genialità dei Genesis e la bravura della musicista.

Wonderful arrange of wonderful songs, and brilliant and moving presentation.

Esecuzione davvero intensa. Ascoltando gli arrangiamenti di questa e altri musicisti classici, ci si può rendere ancora più conto di quanta musicalità c'è nelle composizioni di Banks, Gabriel e compagni. Se la ascoltiamo così e nessuno sapesse che è un brano dei Genesis, Entangled potrebbe tranquillamente essere attribuita a Debussy o un altro compositore impressionista di fine '800. È bello, inoltre, vedere come ci siano musicisti "classici" che cerchino di cancellare quell'idea di "puzza sotto il naso" che sembra contagiare molti studenti di conservatorio e molti pseudo filologi e critici musicali, proponendo l'idea che , quando si crea un'emozione, non esista una musica classica, pop, rock, ma semplicemente "la Musica", che vive al di là delle convenzioni e delle classificazioni.

A parte le banali ovvietà che hai espresso, e pur non essendo io un estimatore di Debussy, devo dirti che fare un paragone artistico con i seppur bravi Genesis ti squalifica sufficientemente. La pensassero tutto come te i Conservatori musicali sarebbero già chiusi da un pezzo.I più grandi rocchettari o compositori pop la musica non la sanno nemmeno leggere (MC Cartney, Elton John...se vuoi ti faccio una lista di 1 km).Forse è meglio che ascolti la Pausini Vasco Rossi, non c'è niente di male, in quanto a esprimere opinioni, seppur lecitamente, a volte può urtare la sensibilità altrui, magari chi con la musica ci vive da 40 anni e a volte non riesce a resistere alle merdate dette da chi palesemente di musica non sa niente ma vuole far credere diversamente.Si chiama saccenza ed è quella che ha causato il crollo musicale e culturale di sto povero Paese.Ma non sentirti in colpa, tu sei solo una vittima.

There are a lot of pianists who played Genesis songs like David Myers (former keyboard of the canadian cover band the Musical Box). As for Classic albums, I have three of them: 1) We know what we like - the music of Genesis played by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Palmer (probably the one that teemusid meant) 2) The Royal Philarmonic Orchestra plays Genesis hits and ballads 3) The Genesis chamber suite - A classic rock tribute to Genesis - The classic rock string quartet The 2 first always mixed classic instruments with rock instruments (e-guitar, bass & drums) which I disapproved. The 3rd one has in my eyes too simple arrangements I like to see indeed Tony conducts an orchestra without rock/electric instruments and with a rather classical arrangement. The one who did very good but into jazz is Jazznesis from Barcelona. I say "chapeau"

Truly, a regal for the ears. Thanks.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting.

Genesis has been my favourite band for 35 years. I've both taught their music and performed it with tribute bands and regular bands. I have very high standards when it comes to other people performing their music, and.....I must say that you passed with flying colours. I love your selection of their more album-oriented material and your quirky arrangements of the songs. And I also like how your playing brings out the inherent sadness present in so much of this music. You don't really hear it with Peter and Phil's strong vocals on top, but stripped bare like this, Genesis becomes rainy Sunday music. And it's quite lovely. Thank you.
