Lavinia Meijer speelt de minimalistische muziek van componist Philip Glass op harp. In de kerk van de Hervormde Gemeente Kortenhoef speelt harpiste Lavinia Meijer het stuk 'Metamorphosis Four"
I keep watching the internet for her to play a Glass concert. Trust me - I would travel far for such an opportunity. For me the harp is the better intrument to play Glass rather than a piano. But just my 50 Cents. In any case - ABSOLTELY AMAZING! DANK JE WELL LAVINIA VOOR DIT BIJZONDER MOMENT!
I love Philip Glass' album 'Solo Piano', where he plays his Metamorphosis on the grand piano. Now Lavinia's rendition makes me think that this was originally composed for harp instead of piano. What a deep and warm sound, absolutely wonderful! Her CD now is on my personal order list!
Lavinia, you are a master weaver and on your magic loom your fingers weave a fabric of genius. The driving, unrelenting rythm of your left hand is almost torturous, like being on the rack! Brilliant musical performance and also great camera work. I particularly liked the shot from the side of the harp looking through the strings at your eyes. Excellently done all round!
Very beautiful and most talented woman. This woman performs with this Instrument of much history of the Roman and Greek History. I have no words that I can express for her talent. The HARP IS THE HART. And the harp IS LOVE. CWA
Phillip Glass and Lavinia Meijer: spellbindng as always--a musical match that is a magic carpet transporting the listener to some kind of finite infinity, of silence beyond the sound. But on ly listeners willing to suspend their musical preconceptions beliefs long enough to board that magic carpet. Phillip Glass, the composer who found a way through and out of the intellectual soul-numbing desert of modern classical music, a desert of atonality and capricious rhythm for its own sake; all concept and no soul. Glass put the sorely needed soul back into modern classical music! Lavinia Meijer, master harpist in whose soul that music resonated, gave it an instrumental voice more perfectly matched to Glass's music than any other. Oh deep well of musical mystery! I'm in your thrall!
Een bijzondere en sterke compositie die ondanks de vele herhalingen toch voortdurend blijft boeien. Een prachtig muziekstuk voor harp. Fantastisch gespeeld door Lavinia.
“Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow - You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand - How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep - while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?” -Edgar Allan Poe
i really think glass is better on the harp than on the piano sorry! The harp is more textured and it's easier to make each same note sound different since you have more control over the pressure you exert on a string than on a piano ket. The piano is amazing don't get e wrong but i think with repetitive minimalist pieces the harp is just superb at embodying these kinds of works.
She played at the memorial service of a very dear friend of mine. She played a red harp. When she began the Philip Glass, all the birds took to the sky and stayed over our heads like a chord that wouldn't die.
I'm more familiar with 1 through 3, having heard them on NPR over the decades. Having this harp version as well as the piano version helps me process what I'm hearing better, somehow. Also, it's a gorgeous performance of an amazing work

Absolutely agree!!
How can anyone play this well the genius of Philip Glass combined with the genius of Lavinia Meijer sheer musical bliss
I'm completely blown away. I had a certain picture of "harp music." This has shattered all those preconceived notions.

“Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand -
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
-Edgar Allan Poe
A wonderfully fortuitous match.
Yes. It is definitely a dream within a dream.
Somehow this makes me weep, or nearly
Damn, that is amazing you posted this.
yes, now you can hear the genius of the compositions of philip glas
And the incredible adaptation this brilliant harpist has inspired.
I like the mood of the piece, very adapt to metamorphosis like
Perfect blend, My ears are rewarded, my intellect lifted, and my heart blessed.

Right on, but how many harpists are this good? We need the piano works too, but the reverb from the bass on a harp really suits Glass compositions.
Wonderful performance of a magnificent piece.
I wonder if I could get office space next door to where she practices, just so I could listen to her music all day.
WOW!!! Amazing! Never knew that this could be played with a harp.
only by an angel like this woman
She played at the memorial service of a very dear friend of mine.
She played a red harp.
When she began the Philip Glass, all the birds took to the sky and stayed over our heads
like a chord that wouldn't die.

Extraña y hermosa música de Philip Glass y no se diga la intérprete es extraordinaria.
I'm more familiar with 1 through 3, having heard them on NPR over the decades. Having this harp version as well as the piano version helps me process what I'm hearing better, somehow.
Also, it's a gorgeous performance of an amazing work
Brava come sempre 🙏

❤❤❤❤❤
Where can i get the complete album? love the original but this takes it to another level/
Niceeeeeee
ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНО!!!!

Fantastic, heavenly! A harp is an upright piano..... sort of, far more harmonics.
They should give these to Prisoners to have an Orchestra.
bitch is talented...
