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

[@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!

[@Yanto-Bardic]

I believe both Keith and Greg would enjoy this.😎

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@harbleblaster]

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

[@christoofart]

Excellent performance of one of the best songs in modern times.

[@alejandrolamothe686]

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

[@user-dk2iu5wn8k]

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.

[@lorraine6848]

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

[@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

[@rollinrat4850]

Haha, Mr Emerson sure pounded and beat on enough keyboards to qualify as one! As far as breakage goes, I think Keith was trying to compete with Pete Townsend.

[@Mario-zb1bc]

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

[@ettorecaloni964]

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

[@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

[@krugergoalie53]

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

[@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

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

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

[@DrLumpy]

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

[@morbidmanatee5550]

Wow nice! Loved the improvs in Mass!

[@Mrfourstring]

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

[@bobbyggare8364]

amazing! percussion gang rise up!

[@henrysegura8440]

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

[@alainlaporte6824]

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

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

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

[@keriford54]

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

[@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!

[@gillan5]

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

[@loulasher]

Thank you. That was amazing.

[@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.

[@jordanrazowskymusician8178]

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

[@robertrodriguezperez8457]

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

[@antelopefreeway214]

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

[@CanigoCatala]

Congratulations !!! Excellent work! I love Tarkus!

[@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!

[@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 ❤️‍🔥

[@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 .

[@danilocaseres8225]

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

[@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.

[@philliplipple1799]

Brilliant stuff.

[@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!!!!!!!!!!

[@turves7324]

I am in awe! This is fantastic.

[@Psychofrog395]

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

[@luisvillanueva3059]

FELICITACIONES ERES UNA GRAN PERIODISTA!!

[@cliffmclane6271]

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

[@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.

[@reclaudioalmait]

Incredibile!!!

[@DariusSarrafi]

Nice cover. Polymetric galore! Keith would be proud!

[@gustavoserrano8501]

Excelente performance gracias

[@jagpanzer16]

WOW AWESOME!!!! Thank you.

[@johndorohovich3367]

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

[@mikepozdniakov7156]

Bravo !

[@victorbender60]

Wowww! Excellet, guys!!

[@kellerproof]

Absolutely outstanding.

[@zrcardoso2011]

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

[@9000gisto]

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

[@drbonkerssoundlabllc]

That was fantastic!

[@ribetromer]

Bravissimi!

[@garyreiner8637]

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

[@zebo-the-fat]

Very very impressive! 😄

[@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.

[@davidnollmeyer]

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

[@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!

[@tedfurlo2268]

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

[@JohnOKeefeJohnnysunshineandjoy]

PHENOMENAL - GREAT JOB!!

[@Dolores5000]

What a treat thank you ❤

[@leopalero4292]

[@mouth316]

blown away

[@sassafrassanid5718]

The guy on auxiliary percussion is my hero

[@Taronlusin]

Excellent, awesome, 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?

[@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!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@pauloronca878]

Que maravilha!!!... Bravo !!

[@lesgoe8908]

Outstanding! Congratulations to all.

[@doubleking7070]

What the bones on the album cover sound like:

[@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.

[@elp5000]

So this was different, Great Interpretation of Tarkus..

[@thedrumdon2485]

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

[@carloscontreras2796]

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

[@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 +

[@armandofente8774]

fantastic!

[@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!

[@MarkIngle1959]

This is brilliant, well done them

[@laviejaesfinge8315]

Una Belleza,muchas gracias!!

[@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!

[@giuseppearena9439]

Incredibile arrangiamento!!!

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Bravi, complimenti ,

[@user-eh6bh8qt4d]

Very cool, ELP would be proud

[@mocactia]

Superbe!

[@berniecosta348]

Brilliant!!!!

[@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?

[@danielebarbalton7000]

Brano leggendario in una bellissima trascrizione eseguita da ottimi musicisti. Grazie

[@JS-df5vy]

[@user-ve4xn6bl6q]

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

[@BaieDesBaies]

It's absolutely amazing, what a gret cover.
