"For string writing, there was only one solution. I borrowed a violin from the school and began to take violin lessons. By accident or, perhaps, by design, I found myself sitting next to a pleasant, beautiful young woman in my Literature & Musicology class. Her name was Dorothy Pixley, soon to become Dorothy Pixley-Rothschild, as she was engaged to be married the next year. We soon became friends and I asked her for violin lessons, to which she happily and easily agreed. I found, in general, that my fellow students at Juilliard were always very kind in matters like this. It was easy to get help and I often consulted friends for any information or assistance I might need. So, I began playing scales, developing some rudimentary skills in fingering and bowing. I also started writing music for Dorothy-string quartets, a trio, and even the concerto for solo violin, winds, brass, and percussion that I composed when I was at the Aspen Music School studying with Darius Milhaud in 1960. Though I never became even a decent violinist, I learned what I needed to write well for the instrument. Since then I have composed seven string quartets, two violin concertos, two cello concertos, and a double concerto for violin and cello."
The above text was written by Philip Glass in 2015, in his autobiography whose title Words without Music was undoubtedly inspired by Milhaud's Notes sans musique. Five years earlier, the American composer had fulfilled a commission from the Nederlands Dans Theater by composing this Double Concerto, first performed during a show entitled "Swan Song", choreographed by Sol Léon and Paul Lightfoot. The commission stated a work for orchestra, but Philip Glass wished to add two soloists in order to create a true symbiosis with the two-step of the principal dancers. The concertante dialogue between a violin and a cello had already kindled the imagination of various composers before Glass, including Vivaldi, Johann Christian Bach, Stamitz, Reicha, Donizetti, Saint-Saëns, Ysaÿe, Vieuxtemps, Delius, Pfitzner, Röntgen, Rózsa, Cerha, Moret, Schnittke, Lou Harrison and Ned Rorem. After 2010, Dusapin, Escaich, Harbison and James Horner were also inspired to discover this particular combination. However, one must not forget Brahms, author of the greatest masterpiece of the genre, his final orchestral work, the Doppelkonzert for violin, cello, and orchestra from 1887. Ravel also combined the two instruments, but without orchestra, in a wonderful Sonata composed in 1920 in memory of Debussy.
Faithful to his "minimalist" style, and aware of this heritage, Philip Glass's concerto is situated squarely between the concerto genre and the sonata, a work that alternates between for intimate duets with the two soloists and three concertante movements. First performed on 22 april 2010, the work quickly travelled the entire world: from Hong Kong to Odense, passing through Istanbul, Tokyo, Kansas City, Moscow, Budapest, Atlanta, Madrid, and Dallas, with violonists such as Tim Fain and Gidon Kremer, and cellists renowned including Matt Haimowitz, Giedré Dirvanauskaitė and Wendy Sutter (for whom the work had originally been composed alongside violinist Maria Bachmann).

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses einzigartigen und perfekt komponierten Doppelkonzerts mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und mildem Ton des Solocellos sowie gut phrasierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen anderer Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Das ist Philip Glass!
ce double concert est d'une beauté inouie ♥♥
Definitely Glass is the one of the biggest genius of your time, widely admire in the future,
Philip Glass is one of the Greatest Composer in history of MUSIC.
Совершенно верно, согласен с Вами. Он велик и среди гениев!
Philip Glass has a high sense of drama and his music has a wonderful meditation quality to it. 👍 👍 💖
Magnifique, quelle belle découverte, j'avoue et j'ai honte, je ne connaissais pas ce monsieur Philip Glass. Je suis agréablement conquise. Merci France musique.
Bonjour, merci pour votre message. Nous vous invitons à regarder cette vidéo pour en savoir plus sur Philip Glass : th-cam.com/video/ebZCUh-KjPM/w-d-xo.html Très bonne journée !
This piece is so mysterious
Unmistakably Philip Glass.
Philip Glass never learnt the fundamental lesson about composition - "Don't compose the same work twice!"
So there shouldn't be any 'Variations on a theme'?
@@michaelthoseby4682 I wish he would write countless scores again.
It is so amazing! What wonderful musicians to play it! Love this concert very much. I wish I could be at the theater to enjoy it there. Again, wonderful cellist, violinist, orchestra, director and music! 100!
Amazing…...a new sound but I can still recognize Philipp Glass
Magnifique !
Merci pour votre commentaire.
Oh belle découverte fantastique
Une oeuvre magnifique que je découvre.
Very good performance.
Merci France musique, de permettre la réécoute de cette œuvre fantastique !
Ici en Belgique, on recevait bien France-Musique, mais c'est devenu sinon impossible, en tout cas parfaitement inécoutable depuis bien des années. La répartition actuelle des fréquences FM est une catastrophe.
Love it! Thanks for the great performance and for uploading.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
exceptionnel! Magnifique!
Philip Glass, Sofia Gubaidullina, Arvo Part - proud of Modern Musical Culture.
Bonjour,

God bless You Tube!
Dulce meditación.Una caricia para el alma.
Merci
I attended this concert in Paris, it was extraordinary! After the concert Gidon Kremer and Giedre Dirvanauskaitė had an encore . I tried desperately to find out what it was. Can anyone help me?

Don't soloists learn concertos any more? Thought that was the whole idea of a concerto. Members of the orchestra read from the music but the soloists don't.
I wish Brahms had been in the audience. 🙂
How can I find her in heart of glass
Love it 21:49 freaked out
👌 👌

NOT HIS BEST PIECE, BUT THERE ARE EVEN WORSE ONES...
Good comment. Sets one to think
Why does Mikko Franck conduct from next to the podium and not on the podium?
Both concertos are wonderful violin and this one , but for some reason this double concerto is better, at least for me.By the way the escore is extremely hard , especially in the rhythmic part.
Il utilise toujours le même schéma harmonique pour la grande majorité de ses compositions, pareil pour le schéma rythmique, alors je veux bien qu'il ait une signature, tout les grands compositeurs en ont eu une mais il n'y a pas de subtilité derrière à un point où un novice penserait que chaque morceau se différencie peu d'un autre de sa composition.

mdr c quoi ce commentaire random
IIFirenII d’accord!
Me too! And we don’t belong on pizza!
ugh - what a deadly, horrible, and extremely dull piece - and for heaven's sake could Glass had at least given the soloists an interesting melody to play when the orchestra is silent ? - everything sounds disjointed and without focus - of course we have to bring up the triangle, snare drum and wood block to wake us up every now and then, only to hear a sequence of equally dull harmonic shifts played over Glass' typically sterile and predictable rhythmic pitter patter
@@caseywlamb8066 ha ha - i don't like or dislike something based on what other people think - i am an expert on what i think and i value my own judgment

😂 I love Philip Glass ''pitter patter'' and I don't need the triangle, snare drum and wood block to wake me up.
p.s. And I am not an uneducated person in art and music. 😂
@@Marcus_Sylvester oh isn't it fun disagreeing and fighting with people about classical music ? ha ha - kinda makes one appreciate how people fought back in the old days about Stravinsky's Rite of Spring !
@@VallaMusic
That's the fate of geniuses. 😉
Maybe try thinking out side the box for once…? Glass is making a statement, he is creating concert music without following any tradition. He is using a new combination of instruments and making something so different then what anyone has ever created.
