Glass is from an alternate universe. We must go there.
Well put...
Yes please take me there
Best suggestion I've seen on YT.
Selah. ☆
Surely we go there each time we gear one of his pieces played so beautifully. I know I do.

Anyone else get goosebumps because this is so gorgeous? Leaves me breathtaken...
Ineffable. How does Glass mix such hidden tension, sadness, and soothing reassurance all together? Simply amazing - and so beautifully performed! It makes me melt.
Same here!
Amazing monotony.
@@mysticmouse7261 can you compose better than monotony?
@@LuizHenrique-hp1du I don't compose. Which doesn' t improve Glass.
It triggers my Lachrymal glands to produce streams of tears-it touches places inside I was never aware existed-that is the wonder and beauty of this art.
Whenever I wanna escape and have some rest I listen to him
One of Glass's best pieces and this ensemble is bringing such an introspective and melancholy tone to this piece.
This piece feels like a timeless whisper. Joyous!
I need more Philip Glass music in my life !
In that case you need to get a life
@@jeffreyrowlands3303 :-D
I need more of this chick in my life
@@hamedm9241 more and more Philip Glass forever 💙💙💙💙
@@jeffreyrowlands3303 Or you need more Philip Glass in your life. Goof. Yeah, like the prison kind bud.
A perfect performance! This piece has such a reserved feel. It’s brimming with pent up tension and yet is so soothing at the same time. Very sweet.
Perfect performance -- and a perfect description of the duality I also feel!
In lf the 2nd to last comment was by a bloke; very well done for being so articulate!
This makes me cry, not in a bad way.. Just looking at the trees moving in the wind, I have never seen anything more beautiful
If you haven't seen the, "Qatsi", trilogy, I highly recommend it. It's what turned me on to PG. Koyaanisqatsi was the 1st movie, and it is moving, is all I can say
@@79klkw I've seen Koyaanisqatsi and loved it. Would you recommend the other two as well?
@@79klkw Also see "The Illusionist", much different from Koyaanisqatsi and worth the time.
This put the song to another level, the slow pace is mesmerizing . This is pure heaven. Well done guys.
Guys!?
This rendition is incredibly heartfelt, it's a bit like "Opening" meets "Spiegel im Spiegel"...
I'm in utter awe, taking it all in
Glass, Pärt , Pook, Ligety paint life in another way... A way that I have followed in the lights from their beacons...
"two roads diverged..."
An incomparable genius whose music touches my heart like no other! There is a lot of love, sensitivity and gentleness in Mr Glass. He is indeed a very exceptional human being. Long may he live!
So heavenly, it is beyond words.
These guys are amazing… how do they make this piece even more beautiful?
Guys!?
Only a golden heart could compose such a sublime Masterpiece.
Absolutly beautiful.
I honestly think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It makes me cry every time.
I am crying as we speak! Lol not even embarrassed. Ugly-crying to one of the most beautiful songs in existence.
Yes, I was cleansed this morning. I let it all go.
This masterpiece from Philip Glass was one of the music parts i chosen at the funeral of my mother 😪
As much as we, as mere listeners of this extraordinary beauty, enjoy this piece, consider the satisfaction and joy which the musicians here are experiencing. I'm sure that they don't require immense compensation for their craft here. This is a demonstration of commitment to music, life and Mr. Glass. I'm beyond "being blown away" by this performance. It's such a privilege to hear them.
Magical. The slower pace, far slower than Glass's original, allows so much more room for emotion to play out. I listen to this and well up. Utterly beautiful.
Excellent performance by all these artists!!
Really enjoyed this interpretation. Such a deep well to draw from. Beautiful.
What a wonderful music, what an interpretation: BRAVI!
Hearing this I thought of the movie "The Hours" whose score was hauntingly beautiful but never knew who wrote it. Just looked it up and sure enough it was written by Philip Glass. Both very moving.
Glass was the reason why I started playing piano. I learned what I know by playing "Metamorphosis" and really enjoy those early pieces but think "The Hours" is the best he have done.

This is just beautiful.
Simply one of the most beautiful things ever created by the human mind
Glass!
Bang on a Can.
This combination works better than I can describe.
Moving. Philip Glass music at its highest level. And I especially love to watch the wonderful cellist's playing and expressions.
Glass's music speaks to me in a diifferent way from Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Debussy etc. But it is just as meaningful and profound. It certainly relates to and gets beneath that 'superficial' glaze that covers modernity and connects with the ego.
I always wonder what those classical composers would have made of this type of music.
idiot
@@jppmccrea Look in the mirror, Homeboy. That’s all you.
I know what you mean. I guess one explanation is the meditative state these minimalist, er, repetitive structures put us in. Standard repertoire just doesn't do that (except for Schoenberg's Six Pieces, Op.19, imo).
@@barbarasmith6005 I'll give this a listen.
That's music ...
Only for specials ears
Philip Glass, always amazing
Very beautiful! Great rendition of a classic Glass composition. Thank you !
I totally agree but then I usually agree with my brother. Thanks for sharing this beautiful music with me. ❤️
Beautiful music. Cellist is fab. :)
Glass is a true GENIUS is music MAKES ME happy to the point of CRYING..
I listened to it two times and can't figure out why anyone would give this a thumbs down. I imagine it's blurred vision. As a result of having tears in their eyes they simply missed the thumbs up. 👍🏻
That's really beautiful what you wrote.
I accidentally pressed thumbs down. So sad, but didn’t mean to
Absolutely sublime. I find this rendition lifting my spirit and momentarily smoothing away so much of my life's tension.
Indescribably exquisite. Superbly played, emotionally heartbreaking.
Ah yes . . beautiful version of this great piece.
Never think about life and the astronomical difference of one's life to the universe when listening to Philip Glass
PHILIP GLASS.....WITHIN THE CLOUDS.
AND THE PURE MASTERY OF THE MUSICIANS.....
ON ANOTHER LEVEL....AS IF THEY
LIVE IN THE MUSIC
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful! Sitting in the sun, having a coffee Mind wandering .
That was wonderful. Bookmarked so that I can return to it, as I will.
Best rendition I ever heard...
I love that this piece is two very simple rhythms which, when played together, create the aural equivalent, via two meters, of a gestalt switch drawing. I've played it on piano for decades and can never hear either "simple" hand while playing, just the entire relationship. Listening to it I can hear them each easily, though.
english please
@@aes1r212 Google is easy. Gestalt drawings are those that can be viewed as two completely different things depending on your perspective. Famous examples are the duck/rabbit and the vase/two faces.
help is on it's way for the poor english
@@aes1r212 Would you be able, dear Aesr1r, to write what herakeleitus (whom is greek I think) wrote in another language than yours ? For fun, just translate your despising "english please" in greek and french : )
Maybe the only two words he knows...
We are a lot of people who try to write in a possibly not absolutly correct english, but we try... And what is marvellous is that, the most of the time, we can understand us. I would like @aes 1r try an effort and do like us, his reply in our langages ! welcome to him !
I'm french, and I've learn english at school a very long time ago, 45 years. The web is also a great space for training
Beautiful. I have a synth recording of the opening on youtube, and this just reminds me that sometimes synths really suck
Wonderful. Really love this. Also brings to mind Arvo Part.
beautiful......I could feel myself calming right down and even started to breathe in -time to this.
These folks really grasp this music. What a great ensemble.
brings me back home.shall I dare say, the universe as one and one as being human and part of all what we share together . Robbie Jackson
A beautiful moment of musical serenity
Thanks to you Philip and to your beautiful orchestra
Helpful herakleitus--so soothing on this troublesome pandemic Sunday morning.
Joyfully-sad peaceful melancholy. Like a remote island of calmness in the middle of an ocean of noise.
You know, I'm not always sure how I feel about Glass's works. But this...it just hit something deep, and now I can't stop listening to it.
G o r g e o u s. Thank you very much for posting this wonderful interpretation.
Muy inspirador, gran compositor y excelente ejecución. Saludos desde Venezuela
deeply moving memorial, thank you
First time I've heard this, where have I been, slow motion joy, sublime!
Just discovered this! 🙏👍
Wow! Amazingly beautiful! Such a great new arrangement of this piece!
Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely awesome!
Maravillosa obra de Philip Glass que abre su musica al siglo XXI
La música de Philip Glass empezó a ser conocida fuera de E.U. hacia mediados de los años ochenta. Han pasado 40 años y veo con alegría que las nuevas generaciones la han hecho suya, la disfrutan y la reinterpretan a su manera. Si mi generación no la conoció o no la disfrutó, es una pena por ella, pero por fortuna están estos jóvenes que la harán permanecer.
A very different interpretation and very well done. Would like to experience Blood Oath from them…goosebumps….
So beautiful!
Wow. Soothes the soul.
Oh my god this is so beautiful and well felt! Thank you xx
amazing. as always.
Las lentas pulsaciones del corazón de un bebé all nacer.
Miguel Mendez lentas? Estais loco! Todo bebe se nasce en total panico!
great! compliments!
Just wonderful !
Marvellous!
Cullante, soffice, evocativo. Il tappeto di terzine che caratterizza il grande Glass. Eccellente arrangiamento e bravi i musicisti. Cradling, soft, evocative. The triplet carpet that characterizes the great Glass. Excellent arrangement and bravi musicians.
Belleza!!!
Impresionante. Muchas gracias.
Beautiful , depth , heart felt , thank you, for touching my soul
Excellent performance!!
Gracias x tanta dulzura
Beautifull
I've listened so many times since discovering this on TH-cam - just beautiful and soulful
Excellent rendition
Wonderful
grandes, grandiosos!
Glorious.
Serenely Superb
Sublime ❤
Muy buena versión. Hermosa
Wow!! Achingly beautiful....
this music is breathless, just like the 1983 originaltitled movie "Breathless" by Richard Gere and Valérie Kaprisky with this stunning musical part of Philip Glass "Closing" (from "Glassworks", 1981) 🎼🎹☯
Beautiful so beautiful astounding 🌹💖😌
J'adorerais la version d'Arturo Stàlteri mais celle ci est également exeptionnelle.
Merci beaucoup, j'adore.
The sound of meditation in motion
This is the song for watching the end of everything. this video included for the musicians capturing the emotion required for the piece. fantastic
always been a fan of glass. and this is the first ive heard of this one in particular, unfortunately. but it definitely has the stylings of him :) i love it
Merci
A piece faintly similar to this one introduced me to Glass way back in the early 80s, I think it was..
Marvelous music, genius composer, extraordinary arrangements and wonderful interpretation
Cathartic
The sonic representative of the planet Heaven. Music of the spheres. Deep as the Inner Earth 🙂 Unparalleled 🙂
Ashley Bathgate's (meta) sonic expression is extraordinary 🙂
espectacular
I really like Bang on a Can's work. Its work with Brian Eno music is fabulous as well.
Golden autumn Я вижу в представлении!!!
Nagyon szép kamarazene. Időnként Beethovent hallom benne. Élmény! A vibrafon és a gitár az már " turbo".
AWE!
