Hi, this is the first time for me I hear a non-Genesis version of this masterpiece without missing any voice, instrument or sound.

Ciao Massimo....this is one of my favorite Genesis tunes. Your arrangement is beautiful. Your dynamics, voicings, tempi, and rhythm capture the spirit of Tony Banks' original composition. Thank you for sharing this epic piece of music.

[@salvozinna3061]

Massimo Bucci Grande

[@larkdamiel]

Beh ! per quello che vale la mia opinione , credo che sei uno dei piu' bravi interpreti della musica dei Genesis . Nè ho ascoltati diversi , dal piu' virtuoso al piu' fedele , ma tu Bucci mi sembri quello che da' piu' pregnanza ai loro brani , fedele ma nello stesso tempo , lasci intravedere tutta la " ricchezza " emotiva , che hanno questi brani .

[@Bufalo700]

Bravissimo. Sono un ''vecchio'' estimatore del primo periodo Genesis, quello con Peter Gabriel e Steve Hackett. ''Selling England by the pound'' è, forse, il migliore album rock mai scritto, e l'apertura di piano di ''Firth of fifth'' crea uno spazio ideale, un'atmosfera quasi religiosa che predispone all'esperienza dell'ascolto. Nella tua interpretazione ci sono tanta accuratezza quanta sensibilità, rispetto ed amore per lo spartito originale. Grazie, per la condivisione di quest'esperienza. ===

[@sfanna965]

Fantastico

[@mauriziomichielis9783]

[@Trobtwillis]

So very wonderful. 🗨️❤🎹 Like Tony Banks & Genesis, Maestro Massimo is amazing!

[@ChristianSchonbergerMusic]

Massimo: the very first thing I noticed in your playing is that you play Genesis with the exact right touch, articulation, dynamics, sustain pedal work and timing (for my taste that is). Many (great) pianists (and orchestras BTW) play it with what sounds like a 100% classical approach to my ears - and the off beat (syncopated) notes sound all very stiff. Not so in your case - all syncopated notes fit perfectly into the flow - as in the original music! You have the touch of a pianist who plays classical and also jazz/latin. I checked your channel - "Bingo!". :-D Awesome!

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Christian Schonberger I've always enjoyed playing and listening to different musical genres and mix them in my arrangements and in my compositions. Thanks again, Christian, for your attention and sensitivity with which to listen to me :)

[@SirDonovanAston]

I can only reiterate what Christian S says Many of the ”classical“ pianists on YT are so ”engrossed“ that they end up butchering the soul out of Genesis songs. Then there are the other ”types“ who don‘t have the technique or virtitude to do the music justice. Massimo, you have the perfect balance. Please give us more G classics.

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

@@SirDonovanAston Thank you 😊

[@RogerBarraud]

Yuss! You just put your finger on what irritates me about most 'hip, cool, with-it' Classically-trained-personnel orchestrations of pop songs. Kinda inverse pretentiousness somehow. Thankyou! :-)

[@Salvo-v8o]

Chapeau maestro!!!❤😊

[@nicocassinelli]

I'm crying, man.

[@ronaldellis7310]

Sir, if you are still watching this, you are an amazing talent. I have the age to have been around, but I had not heard this song until recently while researching some of Phil C's drum chops (yes, incredible), but what you have done here is truly a treasure. Thank you for this. I know you have not posted a score, but you should. I'm much of a 'off the cuff' player as it seems you are, but are unsatisfied with imperfection. You may play something 23 times, but find one note that is not quite right, and want to fix it. But from one musician to another, the force is very strong in you. Thank you.

[@Rosmh930]

This is the best intro I’ve ever heard besides the original and the best cover. The dynamics control and contrast is just as close to perfect as one can get. Also the fact that you were able to successfully turn Steve’s guitar solo into a piano solo is just amazing. Strings to keys is not an easy transition. I listened to the original song a day after hearing this and it’s about as close as one can get. I think Tony would approve

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Thanks Rosalind 😊 Actually after this video I continued to work on the arrangement to make it even closer to the original and, at the same time, enrich it and better adapt it to the piano (in the vocal part and in the guitar solo). I also corrected a couple of details of the intro. These are the results: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6cYZ1rhLOMq8U and kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KnmXmCp9Oor5I

[@gregoryedmonds4421]

I’m humbled. He nailed it,especially Steve’s guitar which made this song so very cool. This is such a great piece. Did I mention I’m humbled.

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

I'm very happy that you like the Hacket's solo, but over time I felt the need to change the arrangement, making a new video in 2019 and then in 2022, and now I'm quite satisfied with it.

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

The new version of Firth Of Fifth is coming...

[@flauwegeit]

I'm looking foreward ! grazie

[@Marunius]

Can't wait, can you already tell what you're planning to do differently :D?

[@MassimoBucciMusicista]

Ci sono tanti aggiustamenti nell'armonia della parte cantata e della parte in cui il Synth riprende l'introduzione del pianoforte, poi, ci sono nuovi elementi aggiunti prima della parte del flauto, c'è un cambio del basso prima della ripresa cantata e, infine, c'è la coda ampliata. English There are so many adjustments in the harmony of the sung part and of the part where Synth resumes the introduction of the piano, then there are new elements added before the flute part, there is a change of bass before the vocal shooting and, Finally, there is the enlarged tail.
