"Supper's Ready" | Angelo Di Loreto and Adam Kromelow with Two Pianos

What an extraordinary idea




I wouldn't really call myself a Genesis purist but I really dig the band and I found surprising coolness in this cover.

While it's impressive, the nature of a piano as a percussion instrument is a limitation which prevents reaching the full scope of expression in the song.

Some say instead the violin is the king of all instruments and it doesn't suffer from percussion but usually does from the lack of it.

Ed:  everything in music is necessarily a compromise between what you can hear and what can be physically played

Welcome to the band

Unless that violin is played by Bond or Ponty who use the bow as hammer on the strings to great results

Only the best can bring that to it and they sure do
