I played this for my grandfather when he was in hospice on my grandmas piano, he was pretty much entirely unresponsive and wouldn’t move or speak but when I played this he opened his eyes and watched and then he said “I love you” to me. It was probably the last music that he heard before passing that same night. Wonderful piece with so much meaning.
@@nikoprieto1 Have been a nice person, you mean. He's dead,even if Americans can't use any form of the word.
What a story man, thanks for sharing... I almost can imagine the moment 😢. Greetings and love from México ❤🎹🤌🏽
Great , well done.
:)
Thanks for sharing this lovely event with us
I was there, I was only 18 at the time. The man next to me cried the whole time. Me too. It was a huge moment. To this day, it's still the most beautiful thing that has been given to me to see.
I would've like to be there, I listen to heaven and love with this song.
I saw Glass live the first time in 1982 - then I saw Koyaanisqatsi performed live by him (to the film) in 1986, while I was smoking opium (I shared with the woman sitting next to me - back then no one cared what you did), and it was life-changing. I also went to a number of his lectures, as I have my degree in musi composition...
"given," I love that you have that perspective :)
Every time i have that experience, next time i hear some truly great musician/s it repeats itself...Lucky you!
Thanks for taking out time to comment, I can't return all the love that's been showed to me through these comments ,Thanks for viewing.
Where are you from?
My brother who passed away a few years ago , was alone most of his life. I found 9 Philip Glass cd's . After listening to this music ,it must have been what gave him peace.
@Berliner Stadtschloss maybe he wanted to be alone, we must not be quick to judge 🙏
@Berliner Stadtschloss knowing better is a specialty that´s rare. For good reason. Tell your mirror. All of it. As soon as it starts to get boring you get a glimpse of what the rest of us is experiencing reading advices for people you have no idea or knowledge about.
Oh geez, I too have been alone most of my life and I have a pile of Philip Glass CDs! And yes, it does give me peace. And also joy, if that helps.
Unfortunately great start of classical music only get recognized after they died
@@Hartwig111 Best come back I've ever read. I was wondering how someone can cast judgement upon someone living in a situation they have Zero knowledge about.
How incredibly privileged are we to be able to listen and watch an amazing living composer play his own work. Just beautiful.
Please turn the clapping down at the beginning and end it is deafening
being interrupted by an add while listening to this is terrorizing....
Isn't it though!
Every time that happens that brand/company goes on my blacklist. If everyone would do that we would get rid of publicity pollution in no time.
You can use an add blocker, like ABP. You'll see no more adds on YT.
If mobile android, check out Vanced. Game changer.
Always push the red bar to the end and then start over. It removes the adds on TH-cam.
How incredible is it that we can hear a composer preform their own work like this? Unbelievably beautiful.
see Bernstein conducting his own pieces
Just had my first piano lesson today, at the age of 41. My end goal is to be able to play Mad Rush. Wish me luck...
good luck & keep on! ;)
The thing about the music of P. Glass is that the figures themselves aren't that complicated. I'd say they're not much more than a grade 4 or 5 most of the time.
The only thing that makes them hard (for me at least) is keeping track of all the repetitions.
@@LaserGryph Yeah, I've been making the "It's just the same few notes over and over, how hard could it possibly be?" joke a fair bit. I think the real difficulty won't be the mechanics, but playing it with feeling. Getting it to sound right is the real challenge.
@Nissan370Z Glass
The three against two in this piece is a bit tricky at first, but it's real simple once you've done it for a couple of minutes.
Both hands, right hand, left hand, right hand. Then it just repeats.
BH, RH, LH, RH; BH, RH, LH, RH
Good luck!!! We are waiting a video of you playing ;)
Played this recording to my dad on his death bed. It was the best thing I could think of playing for him on his journey to the wherever with peace and joy. Thanks forever to Phillip Glass.
you chose this?
@ Doug Buis Heartbreaking and brilliant.
Your Dad was lucky to have you as a son. Good choice of music.
😭😭😭
Great son. Wow -- what a truly lucky man who left this quotidian existence with this as his wings. Thank you so much for sharing this story! I am already hearing this music differently now.
One of those pieces that stick with you for life...exhilarating
I'm a huge PG fan and had seen him play many times since I first saw him live in 1987. He doesn't perform anymore at 86, but he's still writing music. I just saw him in Carnegie Hall a few months back and he was up in the balcony and we waved at each other. I then pumped my fist in the air and he did the same. Love ya PG!
I saw him back in 87 or 88 as well.
Philip Glass, Max Richter, Nils Frahm, Hania Rani, and the list goes on. I was resistant to modern composers until I heard these folks. I leveled in music appreciation for sure.
Irei pesquisar os outros compositores que citou, se forem tão bons quanto Glass, vale a pena ouvir
@@felipemury4412They are not..
All the musicians in the orchestra are stunned. You feel something special is happening.
How unpretentiously he plays his own masterpiece. How gently the waves spread out. Wonderful!
how would pretentious playing sound exactly?
@@daveydudely9954 not that I agree with this but some would say by playing a song with more complexity than it was written to have
"Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication."
By that logic, Bach was quite an unsophisticated composer, which is just ridiculous.
I think this music might be peace giving, relaxing, etc., but it really is not good music. And especially not sophisticated.
Nooo...
Obviously, smartness is when you don't reflect in terms of complexity, you just do what's necessary.
@@Oron354 when you reply it's a good idea to make it clear which comment you are replying to!
@@gabrielkaz5250 Brilliant.
The orchestra members had the best seats in the house, and their faces say all that needs to be said about this performance.
that goes too easily without saying
3 ads in a piece like that is criminal.
The expression on the violins face in the background is really what this is
0:38 lol yea I noticed that too
Best seat in the house
My mother died when I was 13 in 1983, and I remember playing Philip's cassette probably a hundred times over the course of the next 6 months. His music will forever transport me.
@mindsync Never got rid of it, but haven't seen it for a few decades. It is somewhere in my childhood bedroom I would suspect.
@mindsync Nah - over at Discogs there are hundreds of his stuff for sale and cassettes seem to be going for $15. How could it be worth millions (other than sentimental?)
A lot of people play Glass's piano music with a certain rigidity. It's great to hear him play with a more organic approach. An undulation of phrase.....a natural ebb and flow.
It plays with the breath....
It’s very meditative and organic in many ways
yes, a revelation for me
it's because it's quite hard to play any classical piece with emotion. You've got to learn the piece with perfect technique first before you add emotive phrasing
undulation is the appropriate word indeed. Wave, water falling.
Merci Mr Glass. Je suis fan depuis ma première écoute il y a vingt ans. J'aurai aimé assisté à l'une de vos représentation, mais ceci est toujours un souhait non réalisé. Celà restera un rêve ... Chapeau bas pour ce grand, grand artiste.
Je suis d'accord.
Deberías escuchar Orphee's return. je suis en essayant
I do not have many regrets in my life, but I regret that I will never see Philip Glass perform in person. He was in my town in 2000, and I didn’t go because my boyfriend didn’t want to go.
Mais tellement tellement tellement tellement tellement tellement tellement.
Mais que dire des études 6 et11 du pur plaisir
i saw Philip Glass at a tiny college theater two weeks ago. he walked out and sat at a grand piano and started to play Mad Rush. i instantly started crying. i couldnt believe i was witnessing him perform 10 feet from me.
i cried when he first came on stage too. i shared your feelings : ) i also cried about 6 more times during Music in Twelve Parts. Listening to him live transforms your perception of his music. It's a must!
discordant dancers it’s funny you should say that. PG,aphex twin and coltrane are basically my holy trinity.
I had the same experience when I heard the end of the first part of the 3th symphony of Gorecki. The moment the soprano started to sing I could feel the tears coming. This was a first for me.
i too once cried at an orchestra play in my home town. i couldn't hold my bladder anymore. the feeling of relief was celestial.
I cried too when I listened to his interpretation, but not for the same reason...
The way that lady looks that him in the background...
my face the whole time
he knows how a make a lady wet
What a face! And she is perfectly framed in the background.
@@conmore437 She is a musician. Spiritual connection has nothing to do with body fluids...
@@marc-andremorin7774 Nope, but it has everything to do with piano fluids!
@@wm.d.nelson4912 Dumb remark!
What makes good music?
Is it just the notes, rhythms and harmonies?
Glass creates music that really focuses on the "something beyond".
I loved the woman in the cello beside him. She's actually feeling it.
going to the mountains in the night and playing this on my headphones while looking at the stars. Bliss!
AbeyMind which mountains?
I'd be afraid my soul would float off to be with them
I like your vibe... I know it was 4 years ago. Hope you enjoyed the hike 🙂
This man has had such an enormous impact on the art of the 20th century and the man on the street has no idea who he is. We literally live in a world that’s been shaped by Phil Glass.
Something about how the piano resonates creates this almost pseudo-orchestral or choral shimmer to the piece. One of my favorite performances by one of my favorite composers
Somebody's soul is invisible, but sometimes you can hear it.

too bad for deaf people huh?
Ask Ludwig Van Beethoven
+jimmycrackkorn93
Beethoven's inner hearing was incredibly well. If he could see the score, he would be able to hear this in his head.
That’s very good said🤗
I had a bad day today and I am literally crying while listening. It is so beautiful.
Le maître, le boss, le magicien de l'harmonie, un orchestre à lui tout seul
There's a meditative quality to his music. When I first it stopped me on my tracks. It's mystical in such a fast moving world. It conjured up so many emotions I didn't,and I still don't have the language to express.
This music either touches you or it does not. Too bad for you if you're not feeling it. I am from the boogie-down Bronx, and I love this man's music. I know what I like! I will be following any upcoming performances and if I have to travel to have the experience, so be it!!!!
Word 🙂
its incredible how much expression can be achieved with simple arpeggios and a piano...
This really blows my socks right off. It's so beautiful. And a joy to watch the composer. Watch his beautiful hands.We are truly blessed to have lived in an age when Philip Glass composed and played so wondrously.
yaaass. stalin....yaaasd
+Pavel Gromnic take that horrible pic of stalin off please. he doesn´t deserve it. Its propaganda of the madest man ever.
By that logic eating a burger is anti-vegan propaganda.
I'm sorry if I offend you. I'm a believer. I think that the chaos we see today is because he was not successful. He didn't go far enough.
Talking of Stalin reminds me of that limerick that Robert Conquest wrote:
There was a great Marxist called Lenin
Who did two or three million men in
That's a lot to have done in
But where he did one in,
That grand Marxist Stalin did ten in.
The most beautiful and saddest music I've ever heard. I love you Phillip Glass.
This song is a lifetime . the hapiness and sadness , the LIFE, that breathes in and out thoughout the piece and slowly reaches it's end like we all will one day . Those last 3 minutes leave your soul emotion'd out
I see a man who has hit 80. One has a new found feeling about life and one's mortality
The facial expressions and reactions from the orchestra members say it all.
My brother played this beautifully at my grandmother's funeral. It was on a full grand in a church, and it sounded truly breathtaking. Maybe it was because it was a sad day, but it really brought me to tears. Every time I hear it now, I get emotional. Thank you Philip Glass.
He deserved every clap and cheer after that beautiful performance.
So touching the passionate looks on the faces of the musicians. deeply moving even as a recording, just imagine sitting right there.
C'est fantastique ! La plus belle version, la vraie, celle de celui qui l'a composée ! Merci pour ce moment de grâce !
Watching the musicians, their faces express more than my words ever could...
Phillip Glass' compositions are like breathing. They aren't trying to be anything, they are. They are beauty.
Bonjour Peter,
Merci pour le commentaire.
This is just the most divine, sweetest and poignant music ever composed! Brings me to tears every time I hear it! Phillip Glass is a true genius and master musician. The members of the orchestra seated nearby exude awe and reverence - rightly so! I for one feel truly blessed and grateful to have come across Phillip's music. He touches my heart and soul!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
There is so much expression and feeling in the way he performs. Far from being repetitive, we can hear so much melancholy, resignation, wisdom.
You can find videos of prodigies maestros and virtuosos playing Philip Glass. But it's always special to hear it played by the fingers that wrote it.
The first I heard of Philip Glass was Metamorphosis in Person of Interest. Since then I have only grown in my admiration for the flow in his music. It feels as if the music of nature, effortless if you don't look at the artist performing it. It is a rare quality among musicians to make the music more natural. Everyone has their own taste and their own soul. This kind of music comes when your soul is one with the universe.
This makes me want to write the best screenplay ever
Let me know when you're done
Do it!
it only made him want to write, not to actually write. In the same way this makes me want to fly through the clouds before realizing I can only dream about it.
call it interstellar
Und die groessten Dummkopf immer nur eine Tonspur
"Somebody's soul is invisible, but sometimes you can hear it." - Echo Delta, what a beautiful thing said. I go to another world whenever I listen to Philip Glass. I do not understand how this performance has received 277 thumbs down. May he live on for many more years to come.
His music is magic, unearthly. This piece is the beginning of his opera, Ahknaten. I saw/heard it at the Live at the Met performance, and I had to see it twice. Unforgettable
He makes me cry, it's so just and beautiful
Listen to the "Opening" and "Closing" movements from his composition "Glassworks," Mariana. And have a box of tissues handy.
Thanks for taking out time to comment, I can't return all the love that's been showed to me through these comments ,Thanks for viewing.
Where are you from?
La musique de Philip Glass m'accompagne depuis plus de 40 ans... Je l'avais découvert par une radio communautaire (en fait, la radio de l'école), ainsi que Wim Mertens (Soft Verdict).
Igual me pasó a mí. Un gran profesional y conocedor de la MÚSICA me lo dio a conocer a mí en España.
i love how intently and seemingly admiringly that violinist with the best seat in the house is watching ....
This in the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
It's always a pleasure to see the composer playing his own music
Such reverence from the entire orchestra!
Wow! I saw him in Guanajuato, here in Mexico, strong wind blowing in his hair, rain, i worship him 🌺💜🌺
This guy composed the most powerful opera. He changed the structure of the traditional opera. So i dare to say that Akhnaten is the greatest composition of all time. Listening to Akhnaten is a uplifting experience. Thank you Philip Glass!
I was blessed to be invited to that show. What a beautiful gift. It was absolutly amazing !
i want to see him at least 1 time in my life but.. u know life sux...
Lucky you. I had the great fortune to be at one of Philip Glass's concerts at the Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley. It was "The Monsters of Grace" program. A red-letter day in my life.
FOKKEN. Move to New York. I have been following his career for decades and have seen him with his ensemble the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I have also seen him several times taking curtain call bows after his works were played at Carnegie Hall, B.A.M. and, just last week, in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center. He signed my program at a concert featuring some of his works for brass and woodwinds at Weil Recital Hall. All of those performances were Sold Out.
There’s an ad in the middle of this? Thanks for the heads up. I don’t get where TH-cam thinks this furthers their objectives. I’ll find another way to listen to this.
Once you've started listening to this piece, it's just impossible to stop. Mesmerising!
For me, one of the best composers today....
Yes the music is repetitious. It has the pulse of life.......the expression of things alive. And from there you reach out or reach back according to the phase of the moon... Yes there is also a stillness in the music indicating the shortness of life and the closeness of death which is the human predicament.
How can something be that purely beautiful??
Listening to this music, I cannot avoid the feeling "it is good to be alive."
Fantastic its always great to hear the Composer playing their own music because you get the authentic version.
Absolutely beautiful composition, and being played by Philip Glass himself - perfection!
I love the expressions and emotions from the artists behind him
This is the reason why I started playing piano. Now I'm just three weeks on track and I think I'm fairly good at it. I can play all the notes and ritmes. I'm proud...
It is. You must have really good arpeggios and a fairly good forearm endurance. It is like climbing 9a for three minutes.
This punches you right in the heart and then sooothes it. Bloody Bravo!
I have heard it many times. I cannot get tired. I come here when I need to calm down, when the anxiety wants to take over... This is music and treatment for the soul. Pure therapy.
Quelle jolie mélodie, quelle douceur, quel calme . . . merci monsieur Glass
Diese Musik macht süchtig! Sie beinhaltet für mich alles, was Kraft Beständigkeit, Freude, ... und Ruhe vermitteln. WUNDERBAR!
This is such a compelling concert . . . particularly for Glass fans such as myself . . . full of emotion,sensitivity, love . . .this music revives my spirit . . thank you Maestro Glass.
The future will praise Philip Glass as one the very top composers of all time. This is what I believe.
The future is nigh.
I sincerely doubt that. He's always been a low talent joke.
@@tr7938 HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Sonic minimalism at its most compelling is no joke 🙂 No music notes on stage accompanying Glass. This is one of the greatest proformance's ever 🙂
Wrong. Top fraud, maybe, though.
Tonight I just heard Philip Glass play this live in Malmö Concert House, Sweden.
Lucky!
I very fondly remember Philip Glass playing some of his beautiful solo piano works beautifully with my son (who also loves music) for The High Performance Rodeo of One Yellow Rabbit (I think it was 2002 or 2003). It was one of my most special moments with my son; we were both transported by the music and the person of Philip Glass. My son, being the great son that he is, bought Philip's CD ("Etudes for piano'" (Vol 1) and gave it to me as a birthday gift that year. I listen to it daily (along with a weekly listening to Philip's "The Song of the Trilogy". Thank you Philip and the Maison Symphonique for this which I have bookmarked.
This brought me to tears... listening while reading some of the comments.. truly beautiful music
Gratitude infini du fond du cœur à Monsieur
Philip Glass magicien guérisseur de nos âme 🙏💓🕊🌏
15 minutes of magic!
The magic is not to sleep...
It is an immense breath of fresh air to finally listen to something that is so simplistic and delicate. We are constantly plastered throughout the day with loud and gaudy sounds, from the deafening wails of the radio, to the humming buzz of the TV, it is almost impossible to find a moment’s rest. There is a time where I and I assume most people need to unplug from all this unrelenting noise; from the crunching noises of grind core and screams of metal and rock. To surround ourselves with silence or minimal, ambient music we are not denying the outside world but escaping for a transient breath of fresh air to the top of the water where we can take a step back and observe life in its infinite bliss. I think introspective and minimal music allows us to think clearly and to see the bigger and grander picture. It is not scary to unplug and listen to the cadence of the trees, whistle of the wind or the sound of a beautiful solitary piano, it is sublimely cathartic.
So simple yet so sophisticated!....listening to it over and over again. Thanks Maestro.
It just sounds simple. Try playing one of his several études in which the treble and bass clefs are often in different time signatures.
Vi a Philip en Bogotá, Colombia. Ver que en este video pasa su mano derecha sobre su mano izquierda para alcanzar esas solitarias notas bajas, exactamente igual a como recuerdo haberlo visto acá, es muy emocionante, lloré.
What strikes me the most is the expression of the other musicians. They look at Glass and his peformance with such reverence, pleasure, and admiration - they seem to be truly enjoying the privileged position in which they are.
They are just bored, waiting for their part to play that never comes.
They are thinking "how come this jerk, this impostor is taking centre stage and probably a fat fee while we have to sit around waiting the drivel to be over"
@@jeffreyrowlands3303 You got it, dude. Amazing how dupable people are. It's the musical version of "The Emperor's New Clothes."
Um, no they aren't.
@@jeffreyrowlands3303 Are you a musician? You clearly don't appreciate the music.
I discovered Philip Glass as a lonely teenager in the mid 1980s. My family had just moved from one end of England to the other. I couldn't explain why I loved it so much, I just know that the music fills your head with a magnificent sense of peace. He makes me feel so complete. I love him.
I listened to this 5 times in a row. I'll probably be back again :)
No limit with Phil Glass, his music is beauty and medecine as a mantra.
5 times ? You did not understand the 1st time ?... Go out have fun and have a drink if you do not know what to do...
Philip Glass' performance may not be as technical as that of other performers (and I certainly love Branka Parlich's interpretation), yet there is something inexplicably magical when listening to the MAN himself that makes me watch this video over and over again. I can't explain it but I know I'll be back for more.
My feelings exactly. Ten years ago I heard him perform live. There were quite a few pianists in the audience, and I heard one whisper: 'My gosh, he takes liberties I would not dare!'
@@BuckshotLaFunke1 I think the non-virtuosity actually makes the music even better in some way.
I was lucky enough not only to hear Glass play live, but also to attend a press conference with him earlier that day. He was very kind and serious, yet humorous. Afterwards I talked two minutes with him, and again he was very pleasant. Perhaps his devotion to Buddhism is of importance here.
My opinion is : it's the worst interpretation I heard...But I like his music and those chord changes (among many other easy listening tunes)
It's extremely difficult! He play quavers on left hand and triplets on his right hand. It is very difficult and as a musician I can't do it
Complètement fan de philip Glass depuis toujours
Incredible aural sensitivity in the performance on top of the composition itself. I almost swore I could hear French horns additionally numerous times but it really was just the piano.
I have been a fan for years... this man made me want to play the piano.
His music is Divine Breath
Time stood still
Depuis quelques décennies, le chef-d'oeuvre est devenu une oeuvre dont on parle.
Es simplemente sublime. No tengo mas que agradecimientos. Como me gustaria conocerlo.
Great composer and musician, I would stay hours to see him playing.
Mon Dieu 😨 Un Maître 🧑🏫 Je suis en “perpétuelle admiration 🫢 ❤ et adoration et bienveillances envers ce Magicien 🧙♂️ qui me transmet que le bonheur de la paix ☮️ et sérénités 🎶💋🍀
I listen and dream...
I love this music of Maestro Philip Glass !
Absolutely perfect performance.
Thank you, my dear Maestro! 👏
With sincerely, Marcela
You just can't skip or forward it...Amazing..
Everything amazing in life requires you to close your eyes.
I took a tour when I was younger and the trip brought us through the Atacama desert in Bolivia/Chile. On the second day we woke at 5 am, cold, hungry and wrapped in stiff blankets, we stood outside under the stars and at that altitude (2kms above sea level) I've never felt so close to the heavens. The depth and scale of the milky way quietened all of life's trouble for a little while. There are moments in this music which take me back there.
Wonderful...can't stop playing over and over. Bravo!
