Imagine turning a 24-minute progressive rock masterpiece into a 24-minute piano masterpiece, and it works like it never should have been anything else I can't believe how good this is 🤯
Honestly, I wanted this to be really good, but in reality it was about a million times better than I could have imagined. What a talented player and an inspirational interpretation of a classic prog song. Mind blown.
All five members of Genesis contributed to his amazing and ambitious composition. To think they were around 21 yrs old and created this work makes me feel terribly inadequate, but lucky to have been alive to hear it......both Mr. Prutsman's adaptation and the incredible original. Bravo indeed.
This guy is good enough to understand everything Tony is doing and embellish certain major/minor changes and make it his own. It takes one to know one.....
Stephen Prutsman has always been our favorite! (and just to think, when he was a young student he taught our 4 daughters how to play and enjoy the piano.
This is just fantastic. Literally the best cover version of this piece I have ever heard. There is a true understanding of the inner details of the music, as well as its intentions and motivations, at work here. You have not only been able to play Supper's Ready on piano, but you have truly been able to get very deeply inside of it. I salute and applaud you.
This is what CZcams is for, sharing talent with fellow fans of great art. Excellent rendition, in many ways more passionate and moving than the 2 piano guys who cover Genesis. Sick left hand chops. The choice to leave it unresolved at the end was surprising and tasteful. Exquisite.
Very faithful to the original. This arrangement contains all the drama, beauty, surprise, melodious, raw, comical and quirky elements, along with the walls of sound and dark emotion with the difficult rhythms and counterpoint. Justice given to this pinnacle of progressive rock. This deserves, in my humble opinion, a full concert hall performance. BRAVO
A flower ? It went all quiet at that part, then the energy kicked in. What a masterpiece renditioning, so much light and shade, and emotion, to portray a Genesis number still fresh today. Thank you Mr Prutsman !
Why are a lot of these comments talking like Tony Banks somehow composed the whole thing. I'm not knocking Banks, his contributions were great but this was stitched together from a lot of fragments written by ALL the band.
It's simpler than you think, you don't do it with those fraction numbers in your head, but purely by good ear for the relation if the notes with each other. I probably did a poor job of explaining that. But anyway, I'm sure he took time enough to have it down before performing it for the audience.
@@paolocoletti1574 It's not simple by any measure... By God, I've been learning Apocalypse in 9/8 on a keyboard for two years now, and I can only play the right hand solo despite my best efforts to catch the left hand rhythm. I think you just have to have a certain type of brain to do this, I can play one rhythmic part at a time, but definitely not both. Even The Colony of Slippermen from The Lamb album is easier to play than both hands in Apocalypse in 9/8.
People talk about guitar players but the technical skill of piano players is absolutely astonishing. It truly is the king of instruments and this was brilliant. Well done Mr. Prutsman.
I am amazed. This is without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music ever written and the way it has been arranged and performed is grand and absolutely gorgeous.
Holy crap, I never would've thought it was possible for any one person on a single instrument to make a faithful cover of this song. This is absolutely incredible; hats off to you.
Thank you very much maestro. I'm bursting out in tears of joy after watching this magnificent interpretation of yours. Thank you very much for this labour of love to the music.
This has so much personality, not just simple exact reproduction. The spirt is captured, the recounting seems wholly personal to the player, slightly different, like how memory of an event changes over time. In this case its just outstanding.
A good transcription can only come from a good composition. You can hear how good the original is. This version is truly stunning.Thank you for this great enrichment.
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I could make a comment! This is absolutely wonderful! Much like your last commenter, when I wasn't singing I was wiping away tears of joy. :-)
A true masterpiece from all involved. A standing ovation from all listeners. You've not only got chops but a wonderful understanding of the piece. But you know all that. I thank you for this wonderful hour! (Gotta listen again...and again!)
I played piano for decades, just for fun, my best results were Trilogy and Take a pebble (ELP), Cinema show and Apocalypse in 9/8 (and something else but here doesn't matter). With Supper's I tried several times to play it without sing (with a terrible voice!) but without ... what I'm hearing here! I thought it wasn't possible for just one, and there it is! Beautiful! 😍😍😍😍😍
Out of the thousands of videos on YT I’ve watched, this must be the most wondrous. Must be a labor of love. Thank you Steven. And the Bach on the music stand behind…👏👏
OMG!!! I couldn't even imagine that a performance like that would be possible. Congratulations Mr. Prutsman, the best performance I've ever seen and listened to
What a great perfomance. It makes me confirm, once again, what a genius Tony Banks is. I know the other 4 guys contributed a lot, but I doubt there would have been a Genesis without him.
Sir, you truly illuminate what a great piece of music this is, by any standards, and how fully it is on par with the great symphonies and piano concertos. Magnificent. You've more than done it justice, which is saying a lot. Apocalypse in 9/8 and the finale were just breathtaking - I'm overwhelmed. Thank you kindly for applying such extreme efforts and your considerable talents to this brilliant rendition - you have brightened my evening, and I will surely return. 🙏🏼
I am sure everybody here love this song. But i wonder someone who never listen to this song coming here and hearing the whole thing. It must look like a classical music ultra masterpiece
I can't stop hearing this piece even if I've heard it a million times yet throughout the years. Brilliant and emotional version, that of yours, masterful job.
Bravo, sir. I've been listening to this masterpiece ever since it's release in 1972. A one take tour de force. Amazing arrangement. You have succesfully revealed all of Tony's intentions, with all the nuances and the notes implied in a rock setting. You clearly love this music as much as I do! " A brand new tune "
Complimenti maestro Prutsman, magnifica interpretazione! Un altro esempio di quanto la strardinaria creatività dei primi Genesis producesse, in sostanza, musica classica...
Bravo sir. Vous m'avez littéralement transporté dans votre magistrale interprétation de ce chef-d'œuvre de Genesis. Votre arrangement est somptueux et toute vos petites variations sont très bien intégré dans la pièce et ne dénature surtout pas le morceau. C'est de la dentelle. C'est la meilleure version piano solo que j'ai écouté. Chapeau bas maestro.👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏
Proof that Tony Banks will be remembered like other genius classical writers of the late 20th century for centuries to come. Stunningly interpreted by Stephen Prutsman.
I’m pretty confident in saying, if Banks saw this he might freak out. As great as Tony is, he isn’t half the keyboardist you are sir. You are a virtuoso and a genius.
Magnificent interpretation Maestro ! This is my all time favorite Genesis composition and you made it sound even better than the original version. Thank you for 25 minutes of sheer enjoyment!
Juste sublime, Magistral, les mots me manquent. Il y a tout c'est incroyable avec un piano . Bravissimo 👏👏👏👏👏 L'interprétation est majestueuse. 23 minutes de pur bonheur. 💕💕💕💕💕
This ist thé supper of thé mighty one. Man,you're really incredible. I've heard thé Song that ist really Special for me,and I'm singin with your playin from thé beginning to the end. Thinkin can understand your émotions n'y your fantastic performance.....and sorry for m'y terrible english....without words..fantastic
C'est la meilleure transcription pour piano solo de Super's Ready ! Ca me fait penser parfois aux transcription de Liszt avec un final à la manière de Rachmaninov ! Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Je ne sais pas si Stephen Prutsman est l'auteur de la transcription mais au niveau de l'interprétation c'est magique. Mais est-ce étonnant de la part du deuxième prix du concours international Reine Elizabeth de Belgique 1991 ? Je dis aussi Bravo !
Oh my God!! How can he play 9/8 with left hand and 4/4 with the right hand in the Apocalypse!!!! He is a "monster"!! Very impressive!!!👏👏👏👏
Imagine turning a 24-minute progressive rock masterpiece into a 24-minute piano masterpiece, and it works like it never should have been anything else
I can't believe how good this is
🤯
Honestly, I wanted this to be really good, but in reality it was about a million times better than I could have imagined. What a talented player and an inspirational interpretation of a classic prog song. Mind blown.
Absolutely outstanding. When I wasn't singing along I was crying with joy. Thank you.
Me too Geoff, me too!
A masterpiece, gloriously reinvented!
Holy mother of god.
And all that, without looking at the score.
Simply outstanding.
As a Genesis fanatic, I think this is the best version of Supper's Ready I have ever heard.
Have you heard Yngve guddal's take?
All five members of Genesis contributed to his amazing and ambitious composition. To think they were around 21 yrs old and created this work makes me feel terribly inadequate, but lucky to have been alive to hear it......both Mr. Prutsman's adaptation and the incredible original. Bravo indeed.
How does this not have one million views. So amazing.
This guy is good enough to understand everything Tony is doing and embellish certain major/minor changes and make it his own. It takes one to know one.....
You've dared to go to the holiest of holies in the Genesis canon - & WHAT A VERSION. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Why is this not performed at Carnegie Hall? It surely deserves to be played at the best theatres in the world!
Stephen Prutsman has always been our favorite! (and just to think, when he was a young student he taught our 4 daughters how to play and enjoy the piano.
There are simply not enough superlatives for this. Absolutely amazing.
This is just fantastic. Literally the best cover version of this piece I have ever heard. There is a true understanding of the inner details of the music, as well as its intentions and motivations, at work here. You have not only been able to play Supper's Ready on piano, but you have truly been able to get very deeply inside of it. I salute and applaud you.

Tony Banks is a brilliant composer!!! Mr. Stephen Prutsman thank you. Great job :)
Why are a lot of these comments talking like Tony Banks somehow composed the whole thing. I'm not knocking Banks, his contributions were great
but this was stitched together from a lot of fragments written by ALL the band.
i think Tony Banks is the best composer among all the Keyboard Wizards of the last 50 Years.
Oh my god he's actually doing 9/8 on his left hand and 4/4 on his right at the same time during Apocalypse in 9/8
I think he actually enjoyed that bit best of all too!! BRAVO sir!!
It's simpler than you think, you don't do it with those fraction numbers in your head, but purely by good ear for the relation if the notes with each other. I probably did a poor job of explaining that. But anyway, I'm sure he took time enough to have it down before performing it for the audience.

The organ solo is 8/8 over 9/8
4th time.
Outstanding. Some brilliant left-hand voicings, in particular.
People talk about guitar players but the technical skill of piano players is absolutely astonishing. It truly is the king of instruments and this was brilliant. Well done Mr. Prutsman.
I am amazed. This is without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music ever written and the way it has been arranged and performed is grand and absolutely gorgeous.
The guys a genius, that's totally insane in a good way.
Outstanding... and I'm sure Tony Banks would have the same reaction!
Astonishing, amazing, awesome, overwhelming, unbelievably breathtaking...
Wow - Amazing!!! Just shows what a great song this is & how well Supper's Ready was put together!!
It doesn’t get any better than this. Outstanding. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.
Holy crap, I never would've thought it was possible for any one person on a single instrument to make a faithful cover of this song. This is absolutely incredible; hats off to you.
How great is this? I said somewhere else that this is like listening to it for the first time. Sublime.
Thank you very much maestro. I'm bursting out in tears of joy after watching this magnificent interpretation of yours. Thank you very much for this labour of love to the music.
This has so much personality, not just simple exact reproduction. The spirt is captured, the recounting seems wholly personal to the player, slightly different, like how memory of an event changes over time. In this case its just outstanding.
M. Prustman ! Heavy congrats on the best solo interpretation of THE masterpiece of Genesis.... ever !
A good transcription can only come from a good composition. You can hear how good the original is. This version is truly stunning.Thank you for this great enrichment.
Absolutely superb. Every nuance expressed with aplomb. Amazing.
outstanding transcription, technique and musical performance. No words
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I could make a comment! This is absolutely wonderful! Much like your last commenter, when I wasn't singing I was wiping away tears of joy. :-)
WOW!!! You crushed this! BRAVO, and thank you Stephen!
Magnificent rendition of a timeless piece of music legend. And that of my youth.
Grazie Maestro per la sua commovente e meravigliosa interpretazione di Supper's Ready al pianoforte.
Many congratulations on this masterpiece piano version of a great masterpiece. It should be taught in every music school and Conservatory.
A true masterpiece from all involved. A standing ovation from all listeners. You've not only got chops but a wonderful understanding of the piece. But you know all that. I thank you for this wonderful hour! (Gotta listen again...and again!)
I want to watch the double piano too. 3 minutes shorter
I played piano for decades, just for fun, my best results were Trilogy and Take a pebble (ELP), Cinema show and Apocalypse in 9/8 (and something else but here doesn't matter). With Supper's I tried several times to play it without sing (with a terrible voice!) but without ... what I'm hearing here! I thought it wasn't possible for just one, and there it is!

Genesis s music is an évidence of mélodic power..Can't really forget it

Un fan di Che Guevara che suona divinamente i Genesis!
Sono letteralmente confuso......ma molto soddisfatto!!!!!
That's absolutely perfect. Great job.

Complimenti maestro Prutsman, magnifica interpretazione! Un altro esempio di quanto la strardinaria creatività dei primi Genesis producesse, in sostanza, musica classica...
Excellent arrangement pour piano solo d'une pièce phare du répertoire rock-progressif. Bravo !!!
Amazing! Thank you for this prodigious and elevating musical journey.
please consider making your piano transcription record on Genesis selection !!! Must be CLASSIC
So beautiful. Thanks
Wow, that was absolutely wonderful! Bravo!
It must have been no small task to come up with such a powerful and faithful piano arrangement of this song. Well done!
Simply...thank you sir
What can I say? Fantastic! Well done sir.
Hats off! I cannot believe there could be a better version than the original, but this, let me tell you mighty player, is quite close.
Mon dieu mais quel talent et quel travail de dingue... mille fois bravo !!
Emozioni pure, fantastico

90 seconds in and I'm giving thumbs up. It sounds like two pianos playing. Beautifully done!
Magnificent interpretation Maestro ! This is my all time favorite Genesis composition and you made it sound even better than the original version. Thank you for 25 minutes of sheer enjoyment!

C'est la meilleure transcription pour piano solo de Super's Ready !
Ca me fait penser parfois aux transcription de Liszt avec un final à la manière de Rachmaninov !
Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Je ne sais pas si Stephen Prutsman est l'auteur de la transcription mais au niveau de l'interprétation c'est magique. Mais est-ce étonnant de la part du deuxième prix du concours international Reine Elizabeth de Belgique 1991 ? Je dis aussi Bravo !
Ce type a un goût musical très sûr
