Philip Glass. He does not get a lot of play because he is considered post modern. Amazing, but shunned by classical lovers. He rewrote the book. Love.
As a classical music fan, I can confirm that this is amazing
I play this every week on my "Philip on Phriday" playlist. It's Phantastic!
hahaha love your humour! and of course love Philip music!!
looool today is Phriday i love it
I can't help but think I first heard this on some Sci-Fi work as the background theme? If it was never used in that manner I feel it would be perfect for some quality Sci-Fi movie? It just has an ethereal otherworldly tone and tenor to it!
I listen to Glass's music every day. It never gets old. And it inspires me to continue.
Today is my first hearing of this work. Beautiful, moving. I looked it up. From Wikipedia: 'The work was composed with Glass's father, Ben, in mind, despite the latter's death some sixteen years earlier: 'I wrote the piece in 1987 thinking, let me write a piece that my father would have liked [...] A very smart nice man who had no education in music whatsoever, but the kind of person who fills up concert halls. [...] It's popular, it's supposed to be - it's for my Dad.' "
Awww 😢
He also mention it on his Music without words book, he wrote it inspired in Mendelssohn concertos, which his fathers loved
Philip Glass. My first time I heard or even listen. Just beautiful am in tears
Lam is very precise and technical and plays with hardly any wasted motion, but with an abundance of feeling. That was a pleasure to watch.
I went to high school with Yvonne. She was in my French class but often had to skip out of school to solo with the LA Phil. She was already a prodigal violinist at 14.
I think you meant prodigy. Prodigal is not a good adjective...
@@hatsuharuboi Haha oops, yes I should have said prodigious
@@MaGi_TekK
Maybe ''Virtuoso'' would not be too bad... 😄
p.s. I like her authentic and unpretentious interpretation. IMHO, suit well the spirit of Philip Glass.
Thanks for your interesting biographical anecdote!
@@Marcus_Sylvester virtuostic wouldnt be a good adjective since this piece is so simple not to be a mood breaker :D
@@justinkim_ she was describing the player, not the piece; I mean, isn't a prodigy allowed to play something technically easier? also: this piece is much harder than it seems.
To me Glass is topped only by Ludwig van Beethoven. I love every piece of music this man has made. Thank God for a living Philip Glass and a cherished Beethoven.
Is music a race course, with a first and second, etc.,?
Philip Glass m’aide à ne pas désespérer de ce siècle. Cette œuvre est un grand classique intemporel. Poignant.
The first recording of this piece where the balance between orchestra and solist is perfect.
Phillip Glass’ music transports me to an enigmatic world that I would like to be part of….
You ARE a part of it. Artists such as Maestro Glass help you to realize it. That's a big part of their "job."
Probablement une de ses plus grandes oeuvres. C'est du Glass typique. Et pourtant ce n'est pas du tout typique. C'est juste magnifique
Glass is for me an old friend, I admire him and this is a masterpiece which always accompanies me. So difficult to describe the beauty.
"Nosotros no nos encontrábamos
no nos buscábamos en los huertos con una manzana
entre los murmullos de la seda en naves de las iglesias
Siempre estuvimos uno dentro del otro
en el cuerpo de dios de doble cara
en las pinturas medievales de los sótanos de los museos
y en las fotos de nuestros padres
inocentes como papel
Nosotros , maestros de cruzarnos,
solo permanecimos uno frente al otro
y en espejos de la piel nos reflejamos enteros
el mundo se alejó en silencio y con el dedo en los labios
los bosques echaron raíces en el suelo
las ciudades guiadas por el olfato encontraron lugares
donde los hombres las construían infinitamente
los ríos entraron en los mares como los trenes en las estaciones
los montes inasibles cuajaron en las cuevas
Si yo soy un monte
tú eres una cueva dentro de mí
lugar en el monte donde no hay monte
lugar dentro de mí donde no estoy."
A poem by Olga Tokarczuk.
A poem for a poetic music.
Pues muy postmodernista la Olga.
let's not forget how great the orchestra was ...a bunch of college kids especially the drum section
outstanding recording of this, whoever mixed it really did a great job
😅 i'm not sound engineer but compare to typical classical recordings, the violin sounds muted somwhow? almost like an electric violin
Listen to it yesterday with the LA Phil and Anne Akiko Meyers as the soloist, I was deeply moved.
10:43....my favorite part of one of my favorite musics
This hits all the marks.
•Great music
•Performed wonderfully
•RECORDED VERY WELL!!!!
If it’s not recorded well it makes even remarkable music difficult to enjoy.
The only other piece that gives me this many chills and goosebumps is Bach's Toccata and Fugue!
Listen to Maestro Glass's performance of his own piano compassion, "Mad Rush." Some members of the orchestra looked like they were struggling to hold back tears. Also, the first time that I heard "Opening" (for solo piano) from "Glassworks," I will admit that I may have shed a tear. (Both are on YT.)
What is it about the music of Mr. Glass? Transporting is the only thought that comes to my mind. There's a word I'm grasping for, but am unable to find. There are similes which would demean the music. The violinist is exquisite. The orchestra powerful and almost possessed. The almost universal respect for Mr. Glass is a testament to his capacity of summoning the wonderful efforts of his performers.
transcendent?
Movement II masterpiece
I meditate to that movement on repeat.
I like the way she plays it without jumping around a lot
Agreed. When I attended a recital by the excellent violinist Janine Jansen some years back at Carnegie Hall she almost looked as though she were having some kind of a seizure while she was playing. I hadn't seen a woman tossing her hair so wildly about since the time when I was forced to watch one round of a female wrestling match on TV.
By way of contrast, it was incredible to watch Jascha Heifitz as he hardly moved an inch while playing some of the most sublime music ever to come from a violin.
This is what we live for.
this is utterly GROUNDBREAKING. Queen Yvonne sets the bar in the STRATOSPHERE and delivers an utterly lifechjanging performance.
@Simon Simon incredibly depressing that your inability to expand your vernacular precludes you from the ecstasy that this piece positively radiates. Praying 4 u!
If I had been in that audience, I would have wept. Astonishing and beautiful performance.
why isn't this beautiful piece of music played more often live by the major orchestras
Good question. Maestro Glass's work is far from being neglected by major orchestras, though. Back in the years B..C.. (Before Covid) I had the pleasure of hearing many of his compositions performed at Carnegie Hall, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, David Geffen Hall (at Lincoln Center) and at other venues in NYC. On one such occasion I even got him to sign my program!
Philip Gllass's Backstory is quite amazing. He enrolled at the Juilliard School of Music AFTER getting his B.A. from the University of Chicago. At the beginning of his career not too many people were interested in performing his music so he formed his own group - The Philip Glass Ensemble. To support himself he worked as a handyman plumber and as a taxi driver in NYC.
Mr. Glass lkes to tell the amusing story about how he was working his cab driving shift the day after his avante-garde opera "Einstein at the Beach" was performed at The Metropolitan Opera House to rave reviews. He picked up a passenger whom one could call a sophisticated, well-to-do older woman. She glanced at his Taxi Driver license and remarked, "Oh, young man, do you know that you have the same name as a famous opera composer?"
Probably because it sounds like an extended violin arpeggio exercise. I like it, but it's not exactly everyone's taste.
Because the huge part of the audience only likes that bullshit of Romantic music from late 19th century. Rare are those whom like Webern, Ravel, Stockhausen, Reich, Mertens, Boulez.
Because they can't all have Yvonne Lam
Going to hear it Tuesday at the Hollywood Bowl
I. 00:02
II. 07:21
III. 15:51
I have to listen this incredible piece of music every week. love the performance of Yvonne so much!
所有敢演奏葛拉斯作品的，不管是鋼琴或小提琴，全都是要有很深層的內蘊修為方能勝任。
相對的，沒有三兩三，不敢上梁山。聽過的演奏葛拉斯作品的，從來沒讓人失望！
Знакомый , любимый концерт .... И сейчас слушаю и ....... Вдруг слёзы ! ....
Серёга, ты чё . . пацаны не плачут, чё как баба расплакался? Можно теперь тебя женским именем называть, будешь Маша, сосочка
Mindblowing and breathtaking
one of my favorite pieces by my favorite composer, thanks for sharing! very well played, especially the second movement. personally I would avoid any glissandi in the shifts in the first movement but it is nice to hear it interpreted differently from Kremer's rendition.
This is exactly the composition I need for modern art.
simply majestic
Back in action everybody, let only music caress your hearts & nothing else matters, remarcable performance indeed
It's interesting that this performance was at MSU. It was the NPR radio station at MSU where I was introduced Einstein on the Beach. Every week one act of the opera was played. That was in 1977.
A a a amazing! Especially lady Violinist!
beauty will save the world
Love from Amsterdam!
Mesmerizing. She makes that violin weep in the second movement.
Esto me transporta a un maravilloso mundo mágico.
Cuando cierro los ojos veo un hermoso mundo
What a thrill to watch this played live! Thank you for performing this and for posting it!
I too really love this piece of music and Philip Glass has my vote as like unto being the Beethoven of the 20 Century.
I feel the camera work was rather unispired though because it could have been used to show up things like the percusionists putting in some of the contrasting flavours of the orchestral side of the piece.
But thanks so much for posting this!
Потрясающе!!! Благодарю 💓💓
A so moving interpretation, what a violinist !
Beautiful 🌹
BRAVO !
I just discovered this. This is really good !
Brings a tear to my eye, every time.
Maravillosa obra gracias
Великолепно!
Absolut begeistert ,eine Freude zuhören zu dürfen !
Y excelente interpretacion bravooooo
Fantastic! He and Schoenberg and Wagner are the best! Brings tears to my eyes along with Schoenberg's "Die Verklarte Nacht".
very nice
Music is like currency. It probably should be a form of payment. I mean, at one time in Europe cinnamon was used like money and if something like cinnamon or saffron or chocolate then certainly music.
fantastic! Thank you so much for posting! How could I miss it in March? :D
❤

It’s beautiful! Where can I get/purchase a recoding of it or perhaps download it from some site? Thank you!
I have it on both cd and downloaded on my phone/IPad. Find it under “Of Beauty and Light: The Music of Philip Glass”. It will be under Violin Concerto and sounds identical to me.
I’m also a big fan of his cello concerto. The second movement sounds like it could have been written by Elgar.
Really interesting how similar the third movement intro is to Daft Punk’s track “Outlands”, part of their soundtrack to Tron Legacy. Now I’ve got to look up who may have influenced whom.

This is a beautiful piece of music and she is an amazing violinist but I prefer Amy Dickson saxophone version
In the Australian morning, I wake to the cackle of the kookaburras, followed by the warble of the nesting magpies. But then I hear the clear crystal song of the male pied butcher bird. Then it is repeated by its rival high up in the ridge. Its call is stunning and repetitive.
Not as wonderful as this concerto though.
He's working on it. But after rolling around on the ground one afternoon he's stiff as a board again. Might get a walk in after I eat something and comb my hair.
You made Gheghis angry by killin Kublai, Tom! YOU ANGERED GHEGHIS, TOM!
Yo prefiero a la violinista Adhele Antony.
Philip Glass - one of the late 20th century phonies. It's amazing that he got away with it.
Freewheeler's utterance is a Donald Trump inspired set of widely separated adjective phrases that trigger excitement in the brain when uttered. The word Philip Glass is stored in one part of the memory and the word phonies is stored somewhere else. Further, the words late 20th century phonies probably isn't stored anywhere in the memory. You can feel or hear your own brain trying to match this phrase. Let me emphasize, you can feel your own mental internal dialogue trying to resolve these phrases. I suggest what is going on is the brain goes word by word and repeatedly seeks to match chunks of the utterance with memories. The phrases are deliberately false or broken. The result of this mental effort is a state of unresolved excitement. Freewheeler says It's amazing... which reveals that Freewheeler's brain experienced a kind of excitement when trying to match the adjective phrases. And finally Freewheeler says that he got away with it. The suggestion here is he got away with it. This is where the speaker is trying to resolve the mental excitement of the mismatched phrases into something we might call a false calm.
It seems to me Donald Trump stumbled onto this very powerful rhetorical procedure by way of his live campaign speeches. He could hear the audience reaction as he assembled these gadgets that cause mental excitement. Connected chains of utterances like this result in an impression of new revealed knowledge. Contrast that with Socrates saying in at least one Platonic dialogue I know that I do not know.
@@ReallyLee I noticed you didn't try to validate Philip Glass's music. Which _literally_ literally caused me a genuine LOL!
@@freewheeler8924 I hope you guys go on with the debate; this is the best thing I've read in days. :D
@@karlavonhuben1381 Lee McKusick will reply when he's recovered from his operation. He's having probes inserted in his brain so he can discover the real meaning of human language. Good luck, Lee! All the best!
Glass composes in sprawling geometries comprised of dense substructures. A rigorous discipline to these concepts makes him, if anything more authentic. Motifs are recycled across works which forces the listener to re-examine them. He’s not trying to trick you.
Yvonne Lam was brilliant! But the composition is rather insipid and lifeless, too bad. :(
It's glass. Post modernism minimalism. Tension is built with repetition and volume, and then released slowly.
@@dustmite5887 thanks for the description!
Love from Amsterdam!
