Picking this song to learn says alot about you two. Thank you for breathing

This instrumental solidifies just how complex Rush music is. To be able to entertain diehard Rush fans with this is quite a feat

I love whenever this video pops up in my feed. Always have to watch it, can't help but play conductor. Good times.

I think Geddy and Alex should use this as their doorbell chime....

Can you pictures Rush on vacation in the Islands and sitting at a restaurant and the band starts playing this. nice work

My brain was filling in Neil’s drum parts. Bravo!

Outstanding on so many levels. The Professor would approve.

Additional information: That was recorded in June 2015 at the Universidade de São Paulo, campus Ribeirão Preto. The track was arranged by Philipe Davis. Carolina Raany is playing marimba, while Kleber Tertuliano is on the vibes and glockenspiel. Man, musicians who actually study can do amazing things. :)

Only true Rush fans watched the video 'til the end of it I did! (Thanks for sharing)

This is absolute proof that Rush is one of the best bands of all time and that their music touched the hearts of their fans. Rush has one of the best fan bases of all time. So much passion put in this clip. Amazing! I hope the boys have seen this! Cheers!

Well... I'm a grown man... and still can't figure why I cry every time I see this video...

i have no words -- just tears of joy and deep deep deep appreciation!!! RIP Neil. Rush Forever!

Prime example of the power of music

How can anyone watch this and not smile from ear to ear?

Parabéns à dupla. Excelente escolha da música.

Perfect phrasing, excellent timing - Lee & Lifeson would be proud !

It is unacceptable that I can only like this once.

This wins the internet. It's over.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly i feel joy and hope again, for the Human race.

I've just fallen in love with Carolina Raany!

I don't know how I found this, but GOD am I so glad that I did. So insanely well done I can't even begin to articulate it. I know Neil and the whole group would be so proud. Enjoyed every second of this!

How is it that I've gone all these years without knowing this existed? Phenomenal!!! They are both great musicians!! And her double mallet work is on point!

Absolutely Outstanding! Loved it! RIP Professor.

All I can say is,. SURPRISE ...! I left off a few words. Excellent.

Love this interperation of this Rush classic. Just shows how genious musicians these three were.

You guys deserve a Nobel Prize for this! Honestly, I can't remember being so delighted with anything on KZfaq, ever.

Beautiful Percussion ensemble ! I really can't believe someone could actually put a thumbs down on this video, That just shows how some people have no respect for great sounds.

You know you are legends when a complex piece you composed is given a classical arrangement treatment, extensively studied and analysed for nearly 4 decades after its composition (and will continue to be given that kinda treatment). Long live rush and rush fans. RIP professor. 💔💔💔

Love the alternative sounds...brilliant!

More talent in these 2 people than %99 of so-called "entertainers"!!!

And as we go up tje ladder.. our level of cosmic conciousness grows deeper...and deeper....and..deeper!!

This shows what a masterpiece of musical creativity La Villa is. How you produce this is simply breathtaking.

Undoubtedly the coolest thing on KZfaq is this performance of a masterpiece ! Kudos !

I hope Maestro Peart was able to watch this before his passing. From Canada to South America, Rush were incredible Ambassadors of Canadian Music! This was gobsmackingly good; I can only imagine how long it took for them to get this arrangement under their belts... Thanks for posting!

Insanely beautiful so well done like music from heaven you need to get this to Alex and Getty to here very phenomenal musicianship thank you God bless

Maravilloso..gracias!! Genios..!!!

Just stumbled over this video. Magnificient !!

I can honestly say that I have never hear this tune done this way. One of my most favorite Rush tunes ever. Good show :)

Just hearing this brings a smile to my face

This is masterful. More importantly...this is hauntingly beautiful.

Absolutely brilliant! In my opinion, La Villa Strangiato is one of the best pieces of music to come out humanity. Your rendition blew me away.

Excellent exercise in self indulgence in memory of the percussion master Neil Peart. RIP 🥺🥁

.........FARRR OUTTTT!!!! Kudos, Bravo, Congratulations!!!!!!

Just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ long live the RUSH

You know you love Rush if you've made it here. Fantastic works guys!! Masterfully done!

This is so a awesome. In my head I am taken back to the last time I heard this played live, it was on the Time Machine tour. Dirk, Lerxst & Pratt would approve. Side note: Neil had a xylophone in his mountain home in Quebec.

WOW that was beautiful!!! This brought me tears of joy listening to this composition. What a pleasure to hear!!

I wish I could give this more than one thumbs-up. This is amazing!

Had a massive smile on my face throughout. Musicians!

I've drummed since I was 14, probably ~9,000 hours, 60% playing along to Neil Peart. This song is the holy grail of rock percussion, in my opinion -- and I was ready to dislike this rendition as precious. At 0:41, my cynicism melted, I sat back, smiled and floated away on the sound. Well done, Philipe, Carolina and Kleber.

La Villa Strangiato my favorite song

Wow....this should be went viral...

Magnificent! Great interpretation of a masterpiece! I hope Ged and Alex have heard this. I'm positive that the Professor would approve. Bravo!

Spectacular arrangement! I now hear "Villa" in a whole new way. I even love the beautiful ringing silence where our minds get to fill in the drum solos.

Excellent. No words. Just amazing.

This made me realize that all of my air drumming was fruitless... FANTASTIC job lady and gent.

What an eye opening performance of a rock and roll masterpiece! A whole new perspective. Thank you!

Speaks to the depth, innovation, complexity and virtuosity of Rush. They are a part of modern classical music.

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time I go to the beach, I'm cranking this up!

Big Rush fan and I absolutely loved this!! Well done the both of you!

This arrangement of one of my favorites brought me to tears. Loved the sequence beginning at 4:20. Love how they give a pause for the snare fills, almost as to give a nod...RIP, Professor

The best thing I have seen in a long time!

Wow! Laughing out loud in delight watching/listening to this arrangement. Thanks for doing this, must have taken a lot of time.

Thank you for posting. Awesome rendition of La Villa Strangiato. Lee, Lifeson & Peart would be proud. Especially I sense Neil would be proud of the percussion skills. He always considered himself to be a percussionist, and this version shows the skill required to be such!

That was simply fantastic! I smiled all the way through. Rush would absolutely love this.

Things are looking kinda bleak lately…thanks for putting a smile on my face! What a beautiful arrangement! 😊

WOW!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘😎🤜😉🍻

The professor would, I’m sure, approve.. Great work, great timing and great interpretation. 👌👌👌👌😊

This is just so weird and wonderful.

I've honestly never been so mesmerized by xylophones. Well done!!

Brilliant! Just brilliant! Wow! No words.

This has proven that musicians no matter the instrument can reproduce a musically written masterpiece.

Wow, i REALLY ENJOYED THIS. I hope Neil was able to here this, simply beautiful. I can imagine Neil riding his bike across country with this song in his head building experiences at every turn. Great job.

Goosebumps...WOW.

That was excellent and you both were spot on. Thank you very much for sharing.

Needs more cowbell - but seriously, huge RUSH fan, awesome and beautiful rendition.

Finally - KZfaq makes sense.

Just one word...briliant!

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! You’re Awesome 👏👏👏😍

Everybody has said everything! Well done!

What a Tribute! Thank you guys. Rush will live forever!

No words can express...thank you

Thank god I came across this....thank you for this...nuff said

I listened to the whole thing, because Rush is the best band EVER! Although, you missed the opportunity to dress as wizards & priests from Syrinx.

115 dislikes. Obviously not musicians. Not that you have to be one to appreciate what is happening here, but there was obviously a lot of work that went into that arrangement with multi- mallet percussion. Sometimes I wonder if these same people who thumb down videos ever spend large amounts of time doing something creative with the intent of entertaining people and inspiring them, or if they are like Julius Caesar laying on pillows eating grapes with a general sense of boredom?

What a gift. Thanks so much

I don't know what to say - words cannot express how truly cool that was!

shows just how elaborate Rush writing and performing really is, remember the guitar is on top with an electric lead that is like no other piece of written work , the song is meant to be abstract and almost in reverse or unorthadox order and structure but all written and performed as imagined... Rush lives in all of us whom have had the pleasure of listening to them...what would touch me deeper than tears that fall from eyes that know why

Don't you just LOVE youtube right about now.

Good grief, that was amazing!

Thank you i love this seen RUSH 21 times!

You guys are so good you make me sick! Beautiful arrangement! You rock!!!

Spot on. Who else had to queue up Rush after hearing this?

Amazing. Simply amazing. True talent.

I can't stop watching this! It's great! 😎🤘

Has Geddy, Alex and Neil seen this? Outstanding!

Is awesome how this guys captured the dynamics of the piece! Congratulations!

WOW! that was fantastic! Gave me goosebumps.

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Madame et Monsieur: BRAVO! AWESOME! THAT WAS ONE FABULOUSLY AND EXPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE EXTRAORDINAIRE! Thank you for taking the painstaking time and precisive labours in making this tomb of the Guys a joy to hear and see! I'm sure they'd be tickled and beaming with a great big smile of appreciation and honour! 🤗 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
