TARKUS SUITE (Keith Emerson & Greg Lake) performed by Art Percussion Ensemble

[@simonjoelwarkentin7087]

For me it has been very hard finding people who know ELP, so imagine how hard it must be to find people who like ELP, can play ELP and are willing to play Tarkus with you. That's my absolute dream! Congrats, guys

[@cbayardelle]

I just loved it, I remember playing this lp for my friends & they cringed at the music. I’m 73 & have listened & loved this piece since its debut, a masterpiece

[@MarbleIris]

What did your friends listen to?

[@harbleblaster]

I love this suite. So great to hear and see this version😊

[@fw1421]

I’m one of the lucky ones that was able to see all their early tours of the US. The Tampa Bay Area was always on their list and they put on a great performance. Rest In Peace Keith and Greg.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Mario-zb1bc]

Wonderful The performance !! tarkus is one of My favorites suites in the progresivo rock

[@bernardmouchet2855]

Fan-tas-tic! 50 years later, I find the spirit and the pleasure of tasting this mythical anthem! The interpretation is breathtaking! And completely disconnected ..... no rhythm box or syntetizers, a feat, I'm drooling. At times of pleasure I experience these interpreters. ELP......NOT DEAD! Bless you.

What the bones on the album cover sound like:

[@patrickm3373]

Extraordinary! Outstanding! Brilliant! This is a breathtaking arrangement of ELP's Tarkus! Thank you for keeping this Masterpiece of the 1970's Art Rock genre alive, fresh and vibrant!

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

ADORINGLY OBSESSED WITH THIS, PROBABLY PLAYING HUNDREDS OF REPLAYS. MAGNIFICENT!!!!

[@Yanto-Bardic]

I believe both Keith and Greg would enjoy this.😎

[@loulasher]

Thank you. That was amazing.

[@bobbyggare8364]

amazing! percussion gang rise up!

[@markfilipas1763]

This is insanely well played and fantastically arranged! The alternative instruments and slightly slower timing than the original serve to highlight the complexity of this composition and argues its place among the best of 20th century classical compositions. Also noteworthy: it takes six musicians to replicate the music of the original three.

[@morbidmanmusic]

they choose to use this many.. it isn't needed but in this to play the song. You don't understand music reality and how mallets work. ELP isn't BACH, so don't go overboard.

[@alainlaporte6824]

Magnifique et bravo pour cette interprétation. Merci.👍👍👍

[@klemmre9]

This was amazing. As a man who has loved "Tarkus" since the mid-1970s, this was the most unique re-arangement of the piece that I have ever heard. Kudod to all of you!

[@TheRKae]

It sounds a little like what "Tarkus" might have been if Frank Zappa had written it! I'm fascinated!

[@XAVIAM]

Bravissimi! Tra i migliori arrangiamenti della mitica Tarkus ...complimenti a tutti.

[@keriford54]

Fantastic! Great performance & arrangement of a great piece of music!

[@mabochan09]

I first heard this song when I was in middle school, and the impact it had on me continues to this day. There are many other performances of this great song that are a testament to the respect it deserves. #ELP #TARKUS

[@ettorecaloni964]

Io sono un estimatore di ELP. Grazie x fare memoria della loro musica creativa

[@okseagull]

As Keith Emerson said he considered himself as a percussionist ,I'm sure he enjoyed this version of Tarkus in musical heaven an exceptional piece of work. Congratulations

[@take942]

Being a fanatic ELP fan since the early 1970's in my teen years, I found this performance to be SO WELL DONE. a TRULY AMAZING performance!!! ...You all made Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer proud!!!!!!!!!!

[@danilocaseres8225]

ATIPIC INTERPRETATION OF THE SUITE TARKUS REALLY AN MINUCIOUS AND VERY TALENTOSE INTERPRETATION IS COOL😮❤😮

[@JoeK-q6q]

Bravo! Art Percussion Ensemble is awesome. I never knew such covers existed. Never saw a bass marimba before. My retirement allows me to meander thru these vast youtube archives. Thanks for sharing.

[@sebastianoguarnaccia1016]

Trascrizione esemplare! Perfetta resa delle timbriche elettroniche con strumenti acustici e percussivi . Eccellente risultato . Bravissimi tutti e grazie per questo bellissimo omaggio ad una grande opera ed ai grandissimi musicisti che l'hanno creata .

[@paulhoughton5164]

What a thing to pop up in my KZbin feed. I grew up on the original but this is giving me the chance to hear it again through someone else’s ears and imagination and I love it. Thankyou

[@stephencrawford6082]

I thought it might lack the energy of the original because of the nature of the instruments but Manticore proved that they could create a fair crescendo of sound. Congratulations to you on your interpretation of a very fine piece of music.

[@adrianomelis7180]

Tuned percussion instruments have great impact when listened live, I have been lucky enough to listen this piece kzbin.info/www/bejne/kImtiIJoe7ZkbMU at the Cagliari Conservatory of music and was astounding

[@jorggode2587]

Hallo, was für eine Tolle Interpretation, ich habe mir Tarkus 1978 zugelegt, da war ich 14 und hatte mit Progressiven Rock nichts am Hut und schon gar nicht mit Jazz. Ich habe mir die Scheibe nur gekauft, weil ich das Cover so toll fand. Ich hatte auch keine Gelegenheit da kurz rein zu hören, so wie das damals üblich war und war dann zuhause doch erst etwas entsetzt. Aber je mehr ich es hörte um so besser wurde es. Es hat einen großen Einfluss auf mein späteres Musikverhalten gehabt. Bis heute suche ich immer wieder nach neu Inszenierungen und fand diese per Zufall. Ich bin schwer begeistert. Danke

[@FrankAHuser]

Fantastic!! I’m quite sure that the original members of ELP would appreciate this a lot. It’s just great that people play their music, transform it and play it in the passionate way you do. Thank you so much!!

[@henrysegura8440]

Expectacular, todavía hay jóvenes virtuosos, pensé que se habían extinguido, felicitaciones y saludos cordiales 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@perpersson1040]

Many thanks, This is the far best performance of Tarkus I have been watching/listened to. It follows the original ELP recording, not only in the harmonies, but also the energy and thoughtfulness in the piece. I bought the Tarkus LP back in 1971 and it gives me shiver.

[@krugergoalie53]

Brilliant!! Really enjoyed this!! Imagine 4 percussionists to properly recreate the music played by one amazing keyboardist. RIP Keith.

[@CanigoCatala]

Congratulations !!! Excellent work! I love Tarkus!

[@andreatutrani]

I’m a fellow percussionist, I want to play this with these guys. The vibraphone solo on “Stones of Years” is exquisite. BRAVO 👏🏽👏🏽 Very well performed ❤️‍🔥

[@EWA8755]

Fantastic! The genius of Keith Emerson. Weather done by orchestra, solo piano, power trio or even a capella, this piece shines as a compositional gem and will still be fresh hundreds of years from now.

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!!!! IRRESISTIBLE!!!!

[@barriereid9244]

I was introduced to this by my last primary school music teacher, I took amongst others, this on one of two mp3's and into the 🇲🇱🇲🇷🌴🐪 where nomad I played this to on a small stereo speakers, simply loved this.

[@cliffmclane6271]

I´m clapping my hands. That was very nice.

[@TheRKae]

And just like that, I clicked on the coolest video on KZbin!

[@Psychofrog395]

This is great thank you for sharing ELP that way is amazing 🤩 🤩🙏👍👍❤️🇬🇧

[@SantiagoBernal-w5s]

It's amazing how Tarkus can be interpreted in so many different ways: piano, orchestra, and now this. Excellent!

[@Mrfourstring]

Awesome! Thank you sooo much for honoring this music in this. Just GREAT!!!👏👏👏

[@MathematicalPC]

Outstanding job! Bravi!

[@antelopefreeway214]

So wonderful. Leaves me speechless. Thank you so much for this show of appreciation for this monumental piece of music. So beautiful. Fantastic.

[@lorraine6848]

Bravo!!! Found this video. Sometime ago and keep returning!!! I originally saw ELP back in 1978 during the Works Tour!!!

[@DrLumpyDMus]

Beautiful payoff to all those years of practice, bones beaters. Bravo!

[@zrcardoso2011]

Congratulations, maestro Massimo. Excellent performance, a tribute to ELP.

[@DariusSarrafi]

Nice cover. Polymetric galore! Keith would be proud!

[@larrybliss8330]

This is absolutely astonishing. I've always enjoyed the percussive aspects of Tarkus... which may well be ELP's finest hour.

[@ArnieStein]

Quite simply, amazing!

[@garyreiner8637]

Wow! Captures the essence of the original in a superb way. The percussion is astounding!

[@mrmusic248]

I thought I'd just play 3-4 minutes of this to see if I liked it. I ended up playing the whole piece. A brilliant arrangement & performance.

[@morbidmanatee5550]

Wow nice! Loved the improvs in Mass!

[@turves7324]

I am in awe! This is fantastic.

[@davidnollmeyer]

Bravo!!! One of the best interpretations ever! I have seen Tatkus live by ELP. Excellent!

[@pauloronca878]

Que maravilha!!!... Bravo !!

[@jordanrazowskymusician8178]

Mind blown!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johndorohovich3367]

Superb, magnificent, thank you for the great tribute to ELP

[@alejandrolamothe686]

Excelente! Gran obra, gran arreglo y performance! Felicitaciones y muchas gracias por la Música!

[@lesgoe8908]

Outstanding! Congratulations to all.

[@marcelo200863]

Felicitaciones desde Argentina, es increíble como en apenas los primeros 5 minutos ocurren tantas cosas, amo la música de ELP la escucho desde mi infancia. Este trabajo es increíble. Perdón pero no hablo ingles.

[@sassafrassanid5718]

The guy on auxiliary percussion is my hero

[@VOTO_LEGISLATIVO]

1000 % Maravilha ! CONGRATULATIONS !

[@arnobarzan3934]

Che fighi. Evviva Tarkus. Evviva ELP. 🙂

[@gillan5]

Saw them once: not in their prime but I saw ELP. this performance is fantastic.

[@TimBeardsley]

Beautiful and stunning.

[@GeaiPB]

Fantastique performance !

[@BaileyBuns9]

I appreciate all the time and effort that was used in making this, and it’s like a totally new sound, which is way cool, but I really do miss the sound of Keith’s synthesizer and Greg Lake’s most beautiful voice. But Kudos to you guys. Very, very interesting!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@sbosco61]

Complimenti, siete stati davvero bravissimi a cimentarvi con una suite così complessa, avcattivante il suono perky dell'hammond riprodotto con xilophon, arrangiamento ed esecuzione perfetti!

[@9000gisto]

Che bel lavoro avete fatto ragazzi!! Sono carico e incantato come quando ascoltai per la prima volta Tarkus nel 1972. Grazie di cuore!!

[@philliplipple1799]

Brilliant stuff.

[@carloscontreras2796]

Fantastico!!! I am really impressed. Very well executed piece of art. Please do more of the masters.

[@leesmith3346]

Just came across this. I’m a massive ELP fan and love coming across alternative renditions of their work - especially Tarkus. This is fantastic (even if it does sound like Zappa plays ELP). Bravo.

[@teedub127]

I'm not only a massive ELP fan but an even bigger fan of Frank Zappa. I see where and why you stated "(even if it does sound like Zappa plays ELP)" but I assure you it would be an extremely lavish and tastefully weird and it would have included more instruments other than drums, Marimbas, Vibraphones and Glockenspiels.

[@BenDRobinson]

Very polished performance all round. Well done all involved! Of course, some things adapt better than others to all-percussion, and as fine as the execution was, for me I still think an actual bass guitar would have brought it to life more.

[@adrianomondini8795]

FANTASTICI !!! GRANDISSIMA EMOZIONE !!! Sono Docente del Cons di Como ed è da 15 che tengo un corso di tecniche di improvvisazione classica. Quando studiavo solfeggio al Cons "N.Paganini" di Genova nel 1971 avevo portato il vinile "Tarkus" nella classe di Percussione per farlo ascoltare a tutti gli studenti e docenti di allora. Per me è stato un grosso traguardo portare EL&P in Conservatorio in un posto allora tabù e criticato da tutti i docenti. Pensavo : un giorno EL&P si suoneranno nei Conservatori! Grazie Massimo Pastore e complimenti !

[@ademirbortolin2041]

Sensacional!!!!!!!

[@markbarbour5]

Kudos to every musician involved in this spectacular interpretation of a challenging ELP piece. This was very enjoyable and special to hear. Thank you!

[@completelyboringstuff204]

Great arrangement, superb performance! Makes me also realize it takes four musicians to resemble Emersons keyboard magic...

[@bennyscomin]

An' how about the warheads on that vibraphonist?

[@kellerproof]

Absolutely outstanding.

[@tmarkrogers]

Wow! This was absolutely wonderful. What a joy. Great audio recording and camera work as well as the six committed incredible musicians working so tightly together to produce this brilliant piece. Thank you so much. Bravo!

[@thedrumdon2485]

Excellent work and musicianship, paying beautiful tribute to one of the greatest and most underrated works of all-time! Instant subscribed! 🎯🥁💯❤

[@mouth316]

blown away

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Bravi, complimenti ,

[@robertosolito1276]

Altamente ed intensamente R I T M I C O e P E R C U S S I V O come sarebbe piaciuto a Keith... 10 +

[@1baderrr]

Brilliantly played - a mesmerizing adaption of Tarkus!! 🤓

[@drbonkerssoundlabllc]

That was fantastic!

[@vmontbrillant446]

Bravo! Magnifique arrangement pour l'ensemble! Bravo à tous les musiciens! Quel plaisir d'entendre une belle version de cette belle pièce! Merci !

[@tommyrossato]

Sono commosso dal fatto che questi arrangiamento ed esecuzione siano italiani. Non voglio risultare campanilista, trovo che presentare al pubblico pezzi del progressive rock del passato sia un enorme passo avanti per i nostri conservatori! Complimenti!

[@elisabettabenvenuti5339]

Ammiro molto anche io, come insegnante di Conservatorio, questa scelta finalmente aperta alla vera musica del nostro tempo!

[@エンゾ-b9t]

Great ! from Japan

[@richardcohen7119]

What an extraordinary concept by Sr. Pastore and execution by the ensemble. A wonderful addition to the pantheon of interpretations of ELP's and Keith's work, which only seems more important--not less--as the years pass. Am looking forward to seeing and spending time with the score, if at all possible. I know I'll learn things that will help me with percussion re: my own music (fairly limited to date). Sr. Pastore?

[@p.amarin6093]

Since recent days events it's comforting to see how capable it's the human race to do beautiful things specially performing a song with sooooo much weight!!!!! Amazing performance ensemble!!!!!!!

[@bewalker25]

Its incredible so many sticks are necessary translate Keith's fingers

[@robertrodriguezperez8457]

Speechless this is beautiful, dynamic and most revealing of a representation of a modern classic!

[@maheshdas2927]

Very interesting work! Congratulations Amici! Yeah ELP.

[@r2x262]

I love what you did with this! I've heard different versions and adaptations but this was very satisfying. Believe me I would know I bought this album in 1971 when it first came out. And I've seen them live many times. You guys were awesome!

[@BaieDesBaies]

It's absolutely amazing, what a gret cover.

[@hans-peterschumann2990]

Fantastisch !!!!! *****

[@georgschwab2426]

Eine Wahnsinnsinterpretation - Keith und Greg freuen sich

[@silverkey933]

i can't believe my ears & eyes. all my praise from japan! thank you!

[@randy964]

Ma che meraviglia!!!!! Bravissimi davvero.

[@kennethbalbar]

Very cool, ELP would be proud
