Firth Of Fifth GENESIS 1973

[@martz1945]

Parabéns, os Genesis são um grupo de rock progressivo que excedem este tipo de música, possuem uma musicalidade com raízes na música clássica. Belo arranjo, boa execução. Podia ser mais dinâmico. Obrigado.

Un pezzo incantevole,diviene Incantato...

[@PeteGenesis]

Bravo! What a fine arrangement to get to the soul of the song. Love it.

[@paulinhocorrea8705]

It's great to hear another Genesis view.

[@foxtrotnow]

Beautiful arrangement and playing here, but just goes to show that no matter how much you dress it up, you still can't beat the original. Also, without the exquisite guitar solo, this just becomes another song. I dare say that Hackett's solo is one of the greatest moments in all of music history.

[@paolomelotti3540]

Of course this is another song : it MUST be another song ! :) Why couldn't we love both the Genesis original and this 'new thing' ?

[@maeu59]

I agree this 100 piece orchestra can not beat the 4 piece Genesis.

[@germanpaino]

This is just a small sample of how immensely great Genesis and its members were. Really Giants. I think they still have not received the recognition they deserve.

"As the river dissolves in sea, so Neptune has claimed another soul. And so, with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen until the Shepherd leads his flock away." I recited these lines as we scattered my father's ashes into the Pacific Ocean a week ago. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.

Amazing, its the perfect!

[@jgpdefaria9239]

What amazing transcription! Brass and woods give balanced colours to this piece.

[@ricardogarces9680]

Extraordinario solo de flauta traversa....

[@adalbertovalentingarcia8388]

Me produjo una emoción indescriptible Muchas Gracias a todos los que participaron

[@claytonvernon5981]

very nice

[@TheJFerg24]

Great effort; feels like a high school band rendition.

[@marcelodefranco6182]

Buenísimo! Aunque me falta el piano....

[@boheem3451]

Actually, this gets better as the orchestra gets into it. The start seems a big stiff and wooden, but the second section with all the strings playing seems more fluid.

[@Sohnjcofield]

Great arrabgement, great orchestra, great conductor and great song. Not more to say

[@brucegelman5582]

You can imagine if Vaughn Williams were alive he might have written this

[@DavidLazarus]

Brilliant rendition! Not perfect, but brilliant. The intro could have used a bit more bottom end. Also, some notes were left out of Steve's solo which kind of took away from its majesty and fluidity. In addition, though I have no problem with electric bass, I'd have love to have heard the bass lines played on double bass. I'd love to have heard an interpretation by the late Sir Charles Mackerras. I'm just nit picking though. It's a very evocative performance.

[@ArgonTheAware]

But it was somewhat marred by the substitution of the flute instead of the piano

[@chriscarter2840]

No. The interplay in the woodwind and brass is what makes it more interesting and more subtle. I don't want a orchestra trying to be Tony Banks, I want them to be an orchestra

[@brucegelman5582]

Lovely fleshed out interpretation.Missed the seagull effect however.

[@djamcat]

Très joli, un peu mou mais joli. Merci.

[@OronOfMontreal]

This doesn't work, sadly. It starts off wrong straight from the first notes, using flutes and woodwinds instead of a grand piano, and then starting the "instrumental section" by echoing flutes with more bloody flutes. The genius of the Genesis original is that flute echoed the piano intro, and then the echo turned into synth, and then guitar that played like a virtuosic violin solo. Each echo took us further into the landscape of the world the band had built. But this version doesn't do this at all. We are left outside, trying to look in, seeing not enough to make us explore. And frankly, using a Rock drumkit in a symphonic version of a Rock song is wrong, too, in my opinion. It leaves the potential strength of an orchestra unused, unexplored. I would have liked to have enjoyed this.

[@aaa7189]

You wonder why they chose to do this, did all of them listen to the original recording or just reading the music ?

[@sluggo3slug]

Lacking energy

[@brucegelman5582]

Its a small orchestra not a symphonic orchestra.More intimate and subtle.

[@Rumtoad1]

We're waiting for your version. We're just positive it will be amazing

[@rustywidebottom4678]

This is terrific! Everything I hoped for when I went searching for it. ❤

[@ulyssesresurrection]

The oboe has just the right tone and timbre. I‘m always thought about the sound of it, when hearing Steve‘s solo playing. But the velocity is unbalanced between the rhythm section and the soloist at the start of the „guitar solo“.

[@adrianoamatucci989]

Forse.... Sicuramente si può migliorare.

[@donatomonaco120]

Mi sarei aspettato un'altro arrangiamento, od orchestrazioni, sull'asdolo di Steve Hackett, magari impostato sugli archi piuttosto che sui fiati. Comunque è sempre bello e gratificante per me genesiano nel midollo, vedere queste versioni classiche che impegnano così tanti orchestrali, vuol dire che sono sempre stato dalla parte giusta della musica

[@pablomalaga4676]

There is an electrician that was smuggled there

[@r-d3440]

Una versión lánguida del tema. Un poquito descafeinada, diría yo.

[@hpatss4966]

The drummer has no clue what the keyboard section is supposed to be like and has never listened to the song. He has only read the sheet music, quite a shame tbh

[@neuroscope9052]

He was a week late on that first hit I think.

[@andydeakin7914]

Too slow!!!

[@ennioangeli64]

Orribile, l'assolo di chitarra con il carino poi, da cancellare
