Being a completist about Laurie Anderson, I'm delighted to find this. Thank you for posting it!

Having listened to many recordings, as well as a live performance, I feel this piece often falls victim to 'youthful exuberance.' This is not to diminish the efforts or intentions of young musicians, whose energy and passion are admirable. However, this piece demands a deep understanding and meticulous preparation to fully realize its intricate layers. Too often, performances lean towards overly energetic and fast tempi, which, while technically impressive, can undermine the depth and nuance the music requires to truly resonate with its audience. This performance, a first time listening for me, is superb!

Thanks so much for this dear David!

So Tangerine Dream straight up stole this and basically build their whole style upon this

Do you think that beginning of 'Débarcadère' (06:09 - 07:05) is similar to famous Haendel's aria 'Ombra mai fu' (from the opera 'Serse')?

Beautiful album, one of Nyman's best. He later recycled most of those compositions. Much of the reused material has been listed by the author of this video in its description. However no one mentioned yet that 'Les manifestations' has become 'Chanson einer Dame im Schatten' - one of six songs with words by Paul Celan which has been recorded by Ute Lumper and Hillary Summers.

A bit of sanity in an otherwise.................................................chaotic...............................something or other !?

9:20 It's so funny hearing the audience applaud as the Air Force One cut-out descends and Nixon and Pat step out. You'd think the actual President and First Lady had arrived on stage.

Thank you so much for re-uploading this! The original staging is spectacular and I’ve been dying to find a DVD or a digital copy of it anywhere. I bought the Met’s 2011 staging on Blu-Ray last Christmas but haven’t watched it all the way through yet. It’s amazing to see it in HD on our TV. On a related note, do you know if there are any video recordings of Adams’ “Girls of the Golden West”? Your channel is a gift. Thank you again.

☕️❤👏😊danke

Definitely not Mozart

☕️❤👏😊

thanks for the upload. I saw this at English National Opera in, I think, 2000, and it was mesmerising.

Whoops, you have Nixon and Maddalena’s names flipped around on the cast list haha - looks like Nixon’s playing himself! Thanks for the great upload.

☕️❤👏😊danke

I saw this on opening night in Houston. (Don't tell my ex GF who bought us tickets for another night as a present for me.) It was a great era for HGO. They have struggled to get the level of funding to make so many commissions and new productions since that time.

I remember attending the UK premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 1988.

Remembering this as a weekend special, premiering on PBS tv in NYC, 1987

love love ...impossible to do without

A quick add-on. By your post I discovered Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato, played on organ by Toon Hagen. Just marvelous. Wow. Like an eternal and joyful procession dance. Brilliant!

Brilliant! Do you know on what organ this was recorded? It definetly was not "the green monster" from Martinikerk Groningen

"Many critics have labeled it a branch of minimalism, intimating that Glass, Reich, and Riley are its forebears rather than Mahler, Schubert, and Beethoven." Górecki himself said: "Minimalism gives me the shivers - I'm not in that drawer. I know myself well. I know my sources."'

Love this! Thank you.

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Wow I LOVE this, thanks!!!! What an underrated band/composer!

I think they made the wrong choice... this is beautiful and fitting, i think... (I'm watching the movie for the first time now).

Great to have this original recording - quite polite compared to what it sounds like live

"Look what they need to do to emulate a fraction of my power" - Electronic music, probably

The premiere was in 1964, not 1965

Actually, the first 10 minutes of this is one of the ANATIDAE. Improvisations which leads into C-A-G-E III.

なんでこれサブスクこないの？

I’m so glad this is on TH-cam. I saw this work performed at CSUF. What a treat.

Those present seemed to feel it was the premiere of the pieces - where was it done before?
