As I watch the views on this video tick up, from only a few hundred when I picked it up, to now nearly 30,000, I take a step back to think about Louis Glass's perception in the world. Of few legitimate sources acknowledging his existence, they usually only look at his third or fifth symphony, and give them mediocre (at best) reviews. I think there needs to be more awareness of his works, more performances, more attention.
Louis Glass will hold a spot in my heart for introducing me to the world of Scandinavian neoclassicism and impressionism. Its stories largely untold, its works left unplayed even after 100 years, its composers buried in history books that are skimmed over by even the most stringent of doctoral researchers. Truly a shame.
Thank you on all scores.
Great comment. I will look into Scandinavian Impressionism and neoclassicism now. Me. Glass has clearly been overlooked. Perhaps his style and command was a bit late to the scene, but brilliant nonetheless. Can you imagine if he had composed this in say, 1892?
Anyway, thank you for the comment!
Absolutely agree with your comments.
Louis Glass is a wonderful find for me.
Very appropriate illustration for a beautiful symphony. It is amazing it was written in 1911. It sounds very modern.
The illustration is "The Journey" by Raphael Lacoste
Thank you. I shall look up this artist's work. Hope there's a story in it.
Whoahh! Definitely a lot of stories there! Thanks so much for telling me about Lacoste.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

poetic and easy-going masterpiece
I only sort of discovered Louis Glass. This work helped me step that up a notch.
The symphonies of Louis Glass are interesting and varied. They're very very fine and skilled pieces.
Love this music! Takes you to another world!
This feels like a gift , a huge thank you for your post.
My introduction to Louis Glass is special.
The symphony is full of drama.
This composer was totally unknown to me. He is very interesting and original. Thank you for posting.
Hard to believe but years ago Gliére was totally unknown to me....Now I realize the debt Rakhmaninov owed him (Glière's 2nd Symphony....such mastery!)
@@steveegallo3384 I still have to pinch myself to realise there was a time when I was almost 100% unaware of Rachmaninoff! Yes, astonishing as it sounds-it's true! What's even more amazing is that I must've been all of 24(that's months of course). I'm still gobsmacked I could ever have been such a dumbass!
Whoa! What a * sublime * third movement.
Wonderful.....BRAVO too to painter LaCoste......from MEXICO CITY!
Love that third movement! At first, the tremendous sense of sweet calm after the drama of the earlier two movements -- and then the way it broadens out into that deeply earnest maestoso ... Really marvelous. It feels like an achievement. I really respect the emotional ambitiousness of the piece.
38:45 is wonderfully mystical, indeed in a Brucknerian way
I'm returning to this piece after a long hiatus after listening to Symphonies 1-3, the 4th quartet, and an early piece called Summerlife (Sommerliv). So far, I prefer the last, though I enjoyed the 2nd sym. Even though the Internet is a wonderful source of information, it seems that it's difficult to get much about this composer unless you have specialized access. I'll go on to listen to the 5th and 6th if I can find them.
One of the best early 19th entire symphonies I have ever heard. I am particularly fond of the shades of Wagnerian chromatic sophistication and dramatic momentum in the third movement. Thank you OP for introducing me to Louis Glass. Clearly, he is a great composer who falls off many radars!
Clearly the genesis of a lot of (later) Hollywood film music...!
Thank you, KuhlauDilfeng2, for posting the Lacoste painting with the symphony. I shall enjoy looking at his other Journey paintings, as well.
Just wondering....Did you happen to notice the Music at all?
@@steveegallo3384 That's an odd question to ask. I posted about what I was concerned about. I had nothing to say about the music so I didn't say anything. It's a bit like the Moody Blue's song, "Dear Diary," where one of the singer's comments to his diary is, "Spent the day strolling about, looking at the shops. Didn't see anything i liked, so I didn't buy anything."
@@VOLKHVORONOVICH -- True...but is it Newsworthy? Worthy of three repetitions? "...so I didn't buy anything." Why does that merit wide dissemination? Now, if I on the other hand commented, "Yes, you're right! It's rather an Anthem, profoundly sad, complex, multi-layered: Like driving a hearse to the wholesale liverwurst outlet when suddenly a hermaphrodite in a piano truck backs out of a crackhouse driveway and, as your shoes catch fire, pirouetting across Ricardo Montalbán Boulevard, slapping the truck driver six times in the loins with a Chattanooga road map, even though he was only humming "The Pussycat Song"...that...THAT's worth publishing!
@@steveegallo3384 When I post a comment on TH-cam, I'm not posting it to be newsworthy, worthy of three repetitions, or wide dissemination. Certainly not what I wrote to KuhlauDilfeng2-a comment meant to show appreciation for something they had done, and meant for them alone.
And then you feel you can just invite yourself into the conversation (which doesn't concern you in the least.) You appear to be someone in constant need of affirmation; someone so full of themselves, and yet they have no self-there's nothing inside. Just emptiness. Just being able to rattle off a bunch of random words doesn't make you clever. Oh, it might be amusing at first-but people get tired of it really quickly, especially when they see that that's all you've got. A little baby can be forgiven for narcissism-they know no better, it's even amusing and entertaining. An infant thinks that anything that comes out of it is precious-including their diarrhea. We expect better from a grown man.
What I think of the music is none of your business. If I had an opinion I felt like posting, I would have posted it. And I would have posted whatever I felt like posting, having no need to dress it up because I thought it would impress other people. I don't write on TH-cam for the sake of other people-I write for myself. I'd advise you to write only for yourself-but you don't have a self.
So here's some advice for you. Remember the Arabic proverb, “The tongue is the enemy of the neck.” And you might do well to consider the fate of Felix Finch in a recent 2012 film-an ending that is flat and inane beyond belief.
@@VOLKHVORONOVICH -- Thanks for taking the time to answer. There is much constructive criticism and even wisdom in what you say. My understanding had been that a Public Forum affords a wide berth for epistolary give-and-take. That said, What’s the purpose of declaring for global dissemination something written “only for yourself”? And Why would I too publish “only for myself” instead of just KEEPING it TO myself (assuming ‘arguendo’ that I had a Self)?
You refer to Sir Felix Finch as in “Fly Away, Little Birdie”? If so, I’m flattered!
You’ll probably appreciate this epigram from al-Muhaddith al-Fasil, “Hadith of Abu Hurairah” [al-Hashr 59:7]: "Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, EVEN FROM THERE SHALL I BRING YOU DOWN! sayeth Allah, the Most Merciful & Compassionate!" [borrowed by The Prophet from Obadiah 1:4]
The second movement for some reason strongly reminds me Prokofiev even it was before the Russian composer wrote some significant orchestral music. Interesting.
Gliere's #3 Symphony, first performed in 1911brought me here ...
ah, all those unknown Danish composers ... I'm amazed by your strange choices of pictures. You should like the Polish artist Becsinsky. If you do'nt know, discover him, you will enjoy. Thanks for all your " discoveries".
I'm fascinated by these fantasy paintings that are used, too!
.......And don't complain, if (like me) You have to go to a Polish pronunciation site to learn how to say his full name - Zdzislaw Beksiński. Well; I couldn't let my 17 year old grandson beat me to getting it right, could I?
Becsinsky-can't get enough of the man! (Um-they weren't a woman were they? Just making sure.).
Great piece, what the hell is the horn section smoking??
Glass used a wide variety of styles in his symphonies. Sometimes he sounds like Bruckner as in his first two symphonies. His third symphony sounds a lot like one of Raff's. I am not sure of the style of this symphony, but it doesn't sound like any of the earlier ones. Maybe this one is Neo-Romantic?
I agree. In fact, I was just listening to Glass' third, and for a second I thought I was listening to Raff. I have to listen to give more time to the others, but this one reminds me of parts of Scriabin.
@@pastojames I agree. This symphony does bring to mind Scriabin's symphonies, which I enjoy.
Not neo, best late-late romantic!
@@albismusic270 Neolistically late-ish, with just a touch of the eternal perhaps?
This is romantic music the Scandinavian way (if there is any), with Wagnerian echos (or sometimes even near-quotations). And indeed some passages Bruckner isn't far away as well. But beautiful music anyway which deserves a better orchestra to appreciate this music completely. The CPO label has recently published his 3rd symphony. Let's hope they will bring out the other symponies as well! As for Bruckner, listen to the first notes of the 1rst mouvement of Glass's 3rd. As if Bruckners 4th is ready to begin!
Bruckner, that's the death knell!
The score is available through the publisher Edition S
Foreshadowings in places of Carl Stalling in his Warners' years ...
The Frank Lloyd Wright of symphonists!
the end sounds a lot like Dvorak's 9th
Sound is so primitive I thiught it was from the 1940s. Do they still have those clunky " Balkanton" discs over there ?
It is a nice piece but is hampered by a lack of attention to detail. Articulations? And a solid wall of sound nearly throughout.
Esagerato......
