Massimo Agostinelli plays Steve Hackett: Horizons

[@TheMarkEH]

A fantastic rendition of this 50 year old classic. Simply fabulous.

[@massimoago5]

Grazie....yes....1972 -2022

I think this is what plays when one ascends into heaven.

Massimo I just checked a few and none of them had the essence of elegance of what Steve Hackett had in the studio recording but yours was exactly with the same essence and even more delicate and fine nuances really made almost each note’s personality to be highlighted. Great work 🙏🏽👍🏽

[@massimoago5]

thanks, grazie....

[@AlbertoVO5]

I agree. Several very good covers are saved but for a note to note perfect cover I think this is the first one I’ve seen (over 20 years). Tempo is maybe 1/4 beat slower.

[@andrewmurray5542]

I bet Steve Hackett himself would applaud after watching this. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@massimoago5]

Ahhhhhhhh ..Is It true?

[@andrewmurray5542]

@@massimoago5 i hope so.

Thank you for your beautiful playing.

I was thinking the same thing. He gives it the utmost respect. I think this is the music that one hears when they are ascending to heaven.

[@JuanJoseViaderoRivas-zh3gk]

Bravíssimo Massimo. Both share the same feeling (among millions I suppose) though i hadn't the chance to play the guitar but i wish It won't too late whenever i get retired. I'm a 60 yom that LOVE Genesis & Steve Hackett music from the deep of my heart. I'll be with my son at Royal Albert Hall on october the 23th to see SH and his band. Lucky we are.

[@simpleman5688]

Indeed, almost to tears. O

[@victormardikian6660]

One of the best rendition out there-the ultimate Horizon. Tempo is consistent and notes are really well articulated.

[@massimoago5]

Thanks...grazie.

[@SilentRunnerX]

whow Massimo, how wonderfull!
Please, please play one more from the old Genesis ✌🏻

[@DanielDennett-l9n]

Played on a different clock to Hackett - much more linear and open and it serves the piece tremendously well. Just splendid

[@galjian]

Wow, VERY well done. This is one of those pieces where interpretation is everything. You can play all the right notes and still get it ‘wrong.’ You got it right, from beginning to end!!

[@massimoago5]

Grazie.

[@andrewmurray5542]

Completely agree with that comment.

[@mantis1977]

That was simply beautiful.
