I'm amazed Mad Man Moon never seems to figure in discussions about the greatest Genesis songs... it's a brilliant song and a phenomenal piece of music.
tony banks ( le pianiste de genesis) qui a composé la plupart de ces morceaux est tout simplement un grand. la richesse de la mélodie, la qualité harmonique me fait dire que nous passons une drôle de période à entendre les énormes "merdes" que l'on nous sert tous les jours dans des chaînes de clips et sur les ondes....Merci genesis et Merci Tony Banks

You are quite right, but that problem has the music of Genesis . They are too complicated and elegant for the taste of the majority of the rocker public, and for the mass in general.
@@javiermasegosa5888 I do appreciate (material with Gabriel and Hackett) a lot (better than the later stuff except for Calling all Stations). However some songs, I simply don't understand. Even though I adore progressive rock/metal. But there are some jewels.
It is very interesting for me coming back to Genesis after 30 years away from it. I lost interest in the band a few years after Gabriel and Genesis parted ways, although I do love the albums they put together right up to and including And Then They Were Three. The undeniable highlight of their writing, for me, was Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, which I regard as a masterpiece by any standard. So what did I do in the interim? Well, Genesis and some of the other musicians around their circles (Bill Bruford, Allan Holdsworth and a few others) made me want to study music seriously. I put my entire life’s effort and soul into doing just that, and I graduated with degrees from three very prestigious music schools in London and New York. I have loved the music of Genesis since I was a teenager, and I am no causal consumer of their music. Coming back to it now, I find that I still love their writing just as much as I did back then. Listening to many hours of interviews with the members of Genesis lately, it seems clear that they regard themselves as song writers first and performers secondarily. Tony Banks in particular mentions several times during various interviews that he never had any particular desire to be on stage to perform his own music; the writing was the important aspect of his musicianship. The other core Genesis members seem to share Tony Banks’ attitude. Along comes a professional concert pianist to play these marvellous compositions by some of the most gifted song writers in the history of rock music. For those perhaps not too familiar with professional classical music training, the technique of a pro concert pianist might seem overwhelming or excessive. But as any professional pianist would attest to, I am sure, playing Genesis is no match in complexity to playing, say, Rachmaninov, Chopin or Bach. This is not some guy showing off: compared to the heavy weight rep that this pianist also plays, he probably learned this Genesis medley relatively easily. I feel fairly sure that Tony Banks would feel proud to have his music played by such an accomplished instrumentalist. I can’t argue with him. I think the pieces stand up to many interpretations, including, of course, the original performances by the writers themselves. But I must chuckle when I read some of the comments below suggesting that the pianist here is trying to show off. I am reminded that rock music of my youth was, surprisingly, one of the most conservative and reactionary of art forms, where audiences wanted note-for-note reproduction live as they had come to expect from the recordings. How silly is that?! Accept we must that a solo piano performance does not have the weight of a rock band behind it and therefore must try to create excitement by other means. Wonderful performance! Different, yes, but wonderful!
+Caroline Freer Agreed, I find it interesting that music that was listened to by a bunch of long haired, pot smoking hippies has made it's way to classical preformance. Viva le Genesis!
It is odd though that Tony has never really carried that genius on outside of Genesis. Steve on the other hand has produced a body of work outside of Genesis that rivals his work within the band.
Genesis is a classic for me. My absolute favorite rock band. Their music is beyond simply "rock" no matter what genre you call it, it's just devilishly good music. So it more than deserves this type of presentation. Amazing. I love it. I want to hug that pianist. Superb performance. I'd like to see more prog classics performed like this. So much music from that era deserves that.
At the time I thought rock and classical were enjoining in a beautiful union. But it sadly didn’t last long. The younger working class generation were too angry for that, and so turned to punk instead. However, I have noticed an awful lot of young UA-cam reactors enjoying this music again. And I’m heartened by that. Music that extends beyond 3 minutes and takes you on an odyssey of escapism is simply magical. And Genesis, Yes, and Floyd were the best of the best at doing that.
If any proof would be necessary that Genesis music is much above everything else... Truly genius lies behind those who were capable of writing this fantastic pieces of modern classics.
I'm amazed!!! I never imagined a classical pianist playing Banks solos, it's simply transcendent. My senses are in ecstasy. The frustration lies with whoever made the "cut", as I expected to see the public's reaction, and he took away this delight... Friend, it was unforgivable! - portuguese: Estou maravilhado !!! Nunca imaginei um pianista clássico tocando solos de Banks, é simplesmente transcedental. Meus sentidos estão em extase. A frustração fica por conta de quem fez o "corte", pois eu esperava ver a reação do público, e ele me tirou este deleite... Amigo, foi imperdoável!
Mein Lieblingsstück von Genesis auf Klavier - Einfach nur geil geil geil ! Danke dafür ..... Wer ab 1,27 keine Gänsehaut bekommt dann weis Ichnicht !....PS.: Tony Banks ist eh der größte !!!*g
I love the fact that he's playing it without the dots!!!!! This guy is obviously a serious pianist and believe me I've had experiences of concert pianists (Halle Orchestra) who can't play without the dots. This man loves his Genesis and knows it so well because he LOVES it and plays it for pleasure. Good on yer Michael Kuhlmann!!!!
Although some listeners are rating this piece as too fast, I like it very much. It includes a lot of the piano players´ sensation. Well done Michael - thank you very much.
This video is perfect to show to the young people the quality of the compositions from Genesis. I am lucky to have seen the concerts in the years 1970 in Paris. Tony Banks is a not only a great composer but also a very good pianist. Actually the singers have rarely a classic formation. 🎹 🎶 🇨🇵
He has the right to give his own interpretation of the music. He has his own personality. It is a tribute from a great artist, not a cover from a night pub amateur piano player.
He definitely did “heartless heart” right and also mad mad moon played at the “right” speed.....I agree there is no right or wrong in art....but the speed the composer indicated or used means something ...I’m sure Banks gave some thought as to how to present the theme in Firth ...
This interpretation of this music is incredible, pacey but absolutely incredible with a familiar yet different sound to it the whole way… I love Genesis and have done a long time Tony and all over time wrote incredible music, Tony obviously being a key writer through the seasons this wonderful pianist plays through… beautifully done played and whatever else…full of pianist emotion and feel too which makes it even more special. Thanks for posting 😊
Definitely. Oh yes, that's the "Firth of Fifth" I first heard in the late 1980s (I didn't grow up with Genesis in the 1970s, unfortunately; didn't know Genesis existed back then).
Nelson Robert Willis don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Genesis in all of their iterations, even the one later with ray wilson as their lead singer, however what I meant by that comment is that he plays these songs way too fast, especially firth of fifth which loses some of its beauty when it's rushed like this. Still amazingly played though, just feels rushed.
I recognised Firth of Firth, I couldn't place the second piece, the third was from Mad Man Moon, Eleventh Earl of Mar, Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers, and closing with Firth of Fifth again. Wonderful medley. Tony Banks is fantastic.
Bravo superb pianist and medley. It also amazes me that the young Genisis wrote this remarkable music - just shows us all how talented they were/are. I've been a fan all my life - first saw them at Wembly in the early 1970s :)
Ive said this before, and I'll say it again, to those of you who say its "too fast", this is his interpretation of the music he's playing. If you want to hear it played the same as the original, maybe go listen to the original? When someone does a cover version, i think its important they make it their own, which is what he's done here..but that's just my opinion!
15/16 time signature ... piano shred ;- ) I agree Kuhlmann's "take" his transcription/charts for this MEDLEY were his to "recreate" and he did all the tunes justice. ps if one listens to this post @ .75 speed ~ Firth will not disappoint the "critics".
Always thought 'Hairless Heart' would make a marvelous 'classical' subject for piano. He proved it. Love that he chose to include 'Mad Man Moon', one of the most beautiful of Genesis' many, many fantastic melodies (though a little heavy handed at times).
I really want to rant about who disliked.....but I guess they weren't weened on genesis music like I was.......this is utterly wonderful to me.......it's like he has chosen all my favourite musical moments and it is truly a testament to how utterly brilliant this band were x
Marvelous, a masterful interpretation of musical genius ;)...thank the gods that video games, internet, 4,000 TV channels, social media, etc. did not exist to distract the youth that created this genuine art that makes life worth living.
The first half of Hairless Heart quite brilliant, thank you! :-) And lovely transitions, too. Bravo! And a most sensitive adaptation getting back into Firth at the ending... very sweet!
Just wanted to say Michael, you're awesome. The jerks here who criticize this should put up their own versions. You killed it all right...but in the good way. Please post more. You're really really good...
Only a great artist can "isolate" and present so vividly the classical side of the Genesis...A very tastefull choice of pieces and a very high performance... Many thanks !!!!!!!!!!
please dear fans stop criticizing the speed of firth of fifth, this is a virtuoso player here ,he knows what he is doing ,and believe me he is honoring genesis by his incredible interpretation.
Wunderbar! Ausgezeichnet! Can you say f....ing awesome! I love the arrangement and Herr Kuhlmann's exceptionally adept playing. He captured the wonder and spirit that Genesis brings to its fans! Bravo!
Luv it. The whole piece needs to be listened to. Brilliant rendition of the classical influences that Tony Banks has drawn from in his music career. Thank you Michael and thank you Tony Banks.

Hard to believe Genesis, in particular Tony Banks were in their early/mid 20s when they wrote these amazing pieces. True geniuses.
@John Q. Bebtelovimab Innate !
Meraviglia. Many congratulations on these beautiful interpretations!
November 2023 - Just found this wonderful piece of piano playing of some of my favourite Genesis tracks - well done sir.
I'm amazed Mad Man Moon never seems to figure in discussions about the greatest Genesis songs... it's a brilliant song and a phenomenal piece of music.
I totally agree
I agree. I love it when it changes with the castanets(?) sound into the part about throwing you in jail.
Agree. Mesmerising. Horse and disappearing sands. Part of the passages evoking Debussy’s “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune”

Firth Of fifth, Hairless Heart, Mad Man Moon, In That Quiet Earth, Los Endos, Fifth Of Fifth again.
Bravo, Maestro!!!
The incredible compositional talent of Tony Banks will stand the test of time.
That man is on the same hight as other great classical composers
and not a bad keyboard player himself.
Definitely the underestimated leader of the band
A true prodigy.
Well said
After watching this, I believe Tony Banks is MASSIVELY underrated for his musical talent and skills
Yes.
And you needed to watch this, to realise that?
Really?
You are quite right, but that problem has the music of Genesis . They are too complicated and elegant for the taste of the majority of the rocker public, and for the mass in general.
@@javiermasegosa5888 So you say. Elegant and skilled, that's what the music of Genesis is.

He has the right to give his own interpretation of the music. He has his own personality. It is a tribute from a great artist, not a cover from a night pub amateur piano player.
I worry that he's demonstrating his virtuosity more than he's giving the audience the beautiful Genesis music to enjoy though.
I personally would have liked if he slowed down Firth of Fifth a few clicks, but yeah, obviously a great performance by a great artist.
I replayed the start at 0.75 speed and actually preferred it.
@@klatewilson5170 He's the artist, it's his choice. Like it or leave it, but don't pretend like there's a "right" way to do things in art.

Simply spectacular. Yeah, Firth of Fifth was a bit fast, but hey... such chops.
toobertunes a classic interpretation, all faster, it seems.
It's way too fast. I actually set the playback speed to 0.75 and it sounded closer to the original!
Definitely. Oh yes, that's the "Firth of Fifth" I first heard in the late 1980s (I didn't grow up with Genesis in the 1970s, unfortunately; didn't know Genesis existed back then).
Listening to this accentuates the genius of Genesis - and this is a wonderful arrangement (regardless of speed).
665 comments and now they are no longer alone.
Bravo!
Remarkable performance. Just goes to show how gifted Tony Banks is to have created such masterpieces.
Yes, very good - love the playing here, and especially on In that Quiet Earth (largely written by Hackett though)
It shows you that when Genesis was progressive rock it also translates to classical which most people don't realize but like!
There seem to be many people who do not make that connection.
Progressive rock sounds more like classical and baroque than rock itself to me
Beautiful interpretation. Thank you Michael ... very much indeed!
I loved it. The pace was his interpretation IMO. I would so loved to have seen that live. Played with such passion. Brilliant!
Bloomin' brilliant. Genesis is my favourite band and this amazing pianist's renditions are superb!
A gift for our ears. Thank you, maestro.
J'adore Genesis depuis les début 70' et je trouve cet arrangement génial. Du grand art !
un vrai regale. Merci Monsieur Kuhlmann
Well done.

Absolutely wonderful playing! I've always love Genesis, but I never dreamed it would lend itself to classical-style piano playing. Bravo, Maestro!
I recognised Firth of Firth, I couldn't place the second piece, the third was from Mad Man Moon, Eleventh Earl of Mar, Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers, and closing with Firth of Fifth again. Wonderful medley. Tony Banks is fantastic.
The 2nd piece is Hairless heart, from TLLDOB
Bravo! Encore!
This is holy grail stuff; I loved it.
I landed here by accident and could not click away from it.....nailed it.
Excellent! So melodic & played with the passion that we Genesis fans feel when we hear this music... Bravo! Please do more!...
I was in Pittsburgh 35 years ago when I heard somebody do this. I was the only one in the room, that knew the composer. Like a discovery.
What a genius playing inmortal music! Genesis will sound forever.

The sound is incredibly mastered, so much so it makes me forget about the pace.

The segues are sublime...After listening to the Hairless Heart part; now I have to listen to the Whole Lamb Lies Down ...:)...Amazing playing!
This is so amazing. Great tribute to Banks.
Only a great artist can "isolate" and present so vividly the classical side of the Genesis...A very tastefull choice of pieces and a very high performance... Many thanks !!!!!!!!!!
totally fantastic, thanx for that idea Maestro! :)
What Tony Banks has composed is absolutely incredible to me! Such a genius whose music reaches me in my soul like no other.
Awesome performance, tough couldn't help noticing the missing "drop tempo" on Hairless Heart part.. It's what's makes it so great! Congrats
Beautiful renditions... Interpreted excellent... fast - slow... different... three thumbs up...
Grazie Maestro per questa splendida esecuzione e scelta!
