HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- A compilation of the music for piano solo by Philip Glass, icon of minimalism. In his piano music, Glass presents structures of repeated patterns which slowly and gradually, seemingly unconsciously, change in rhythm, speed or form, creating a fascinating sound landscape of slowly shifting colours and patterns.
Composer: Philip Glass

Accepted onto the early admissions programme of the University of Chicago, Philip Glass graduated aged just nineteen with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, practising the piano in his spare time. Subsequently studying at the Juilliard School, Glass’s name has since become synonymous with the minimalist style. His film compositions have earned him a Golden Globe as well as three Academy Award nominations.
This selection of pieces showcases Glass’s music for solo piano, with each of the works baring the hallmarks of minimalism. Among the pieces featured in the collection is Metamorphosis, a set of five variations that evolve over the course of the entire work to create a stirring final movement. Also present are extracts from the soundtrack of Stephen Daldry’s film The Hours, as well as ‘Truman Sleeps’ from The Truman Show (which earned Glass a Golden Globe award for ‘Best Original Score’). The collection ends with the ‘Trilogy’ Sonata, containing piano transcriptions of Glass’s three ‘portrait’ operas: Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha and Akhnaten.
Dutch pianist and composer Jeroen Van Veen studied at the Utrecht Conservatory and has played with many orchestras throughout Europe and the USA, under renowned conductors such as Howard Williams, Peter Eötvös and Robert Craft. An accomplished recitalist, van Veen has also appeared at festivals including the Reder Piano Festival and the Festival der Kunsten (Bad Gleichenberg). His compositional style is closely related to minimalism, and contains elements of jazz, blues and pop music.

Glass can provide a clear window, but also a reflection. What a perfect name for him.
Does he like horses too 😂 👉🏼”Philip”

He is the son of a Lithuanian Jew. I think if you could examine his ancestry you would probably find that Glass is a convenient shortening, or anglicised form, of a more foreign sounding original Jewish family name.
I’m not a musician but it seems to me the patterns of repetitions in this piece have a lot in common with the ringing of church bells.
@@user-gl1lr2qn6y 😁
My grandpa is on the edge of his life due to medical issues and he told me this always reminds him of me. Now it will always remind me of him. Cherish your moments people.
God bless you and yours!
"cherish your moments people" is the minimalist's most beautiful insight... appearing 2 b simple while it is the pinnacle of profunda. Let me share mine, which a favorite professor gifted me with over 23 years ago when I asked him for his best life advice: "Pay Attention" (to all and in all things). Changed my life then, and continues to change it now. We have limited time here: on average 72 to 76000 hours. So yes, cherish.
And Thank you, daboyzchannel5738. Really, TY

i dont know how i stumbled upon phillip glass. i was all alone in poland and i suppose i knew i was interested in minimalism. i bought a cheap cassette. i've listened to this music on and off for thirty years. i don't overdo it. but i woke up alone on a sunday morning and decided i would rather listen to philip glass than go back to sleep. you have to find happiness where you can.
Find happiness. It's there.
I came across a Phillip Glass cd at a used book store probably 20 years ago and it is one of the best finds never thought I liked the piano

Minimalism is beautiful.
The minimum of the form is the maximum of the content.
So very true! Minimalism is beautiful.
How do I cite you for my paper? 😅
@@eileen8805
I believe you need to copy my text or part of it, and then paste it into the text of your comment.
Glass hits melodies that I didn't know my soul was longing to hear. Phenomenal.
This is a terrific comment. I play the piece on piano and strangely, as with all of Philip Glass music, I never tire of his music.
Hard to describe the emotions and memories that I feel with the opening to Glassworks. Everything comes into alignment, like metal shavings with a magnet. Memories from a time past never to be recovered but always in my conscience.
I tell yоu, nо; but unless yоu repent yоu will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 ✝
From the day I listened this, I knew there are only two kinds of music.
The music, and the trash.
All rock, all disco,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, are not of my nature.
Before I listened this, before I listened Tangerine Dream, Chopin, Adagio for String (Samuel Barber), Mahler (ruclips.net/video/loToeHcAwQg/видео.html ),,,,,,
All dire strait, all Led zepelin, all rolling-stones, all beatels, even, all leonard cohen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Was nothing.
Suddenly I realised world is full of poison for minds.
Each one must decide for him-self.
Beautifully said
Listening to this, lying on my bathroom floor. Taking in the acoustics and the presence of pure beauty. Slowly drifting into the world of mirrors and flowing water. Waiting to be swept away by the wings of angels that have been sewn by these pieces. Forever drifting through time.
I feel, ravished
Lying in tub also recommended - with head above water. :-)
It's beautiful like the first encounter unlikely and messianic of an umbrella and a sewing machine on a dissection table.
Sounds exactly the kind of thing I'd do Rose! Those angels are coming indeed.
Thanking you beuteful words inspired by the love y music
The music takes you to places from which it is not easy to escape.
No, for me this music gives a hint of what is out there, just out of reach but magical and inspiring nonetheless.
My view entirely. Glass's music is "transporting" in a way that I find hard to resist. It's a good part of my day, every day.
If you want to escape just tun off the music and you'll be free.
Glass is a genius. This man is good at what he does. He performs mad rush better than the composer. I think he will like him, Philip would always insist on technique. Respect.
Glass's music takes me to unexpected places. so beautiful...
I like Philip Glass so so so much. This is just beautiful beyond words.
Voices literally come through the keys at certain times. Van Veen's playing is absolutely gorgeous and spectral.
The music all sounds like someone could compose in 5 mins. At leadt i can do it
@@johannsebastienbach Then do it.
the added pauses are distracting. much of the original composition is also muted
Sober purposeful intelligent minimalism. I can't stop listening.
I’ve been listening to the original release of Glassworks for decades. To hear a different version made it new again. Beautiful interpretation, by the way.
When does gratitude break down to yield tears at our being, of coming into existence, of having been here all of us, all of us one and all through time in each and every incomprehensible way. I die long before my death. I die in the grasps and gasps of having lived at all and imagining the life of all life before.
Very nice. That's about exactly what one feels with this piece of music and Phillip Glass' work in general. The end of this and other pieces by this composer sounds like a clockwork slowly coming to a standstill, just as our own heartbeat will do someday.
is this taken from a book or something? it's beautiful
Barry Fisher, yes, I call “to die before we die” pure grief which leads to pure joy.
Jeroen van Veen brings out subtleties in Glass' work and also demonstrates that there is a great deal of Romanticism hidden in the oeuvre of the Master.
philip glass is absolute crap
lazy
I heard the opening to this on the radio in my car a few days back. I absolutely love it.
I've had to stop listening to Glass in the car. I forget where I am when in traffic.
Just realized that some the greatest composers of minimal music: La Monte Young, Steve Reich, Terry Riley and of course Philip Glass are all in their 80's but still living.
I always appreciate how Glass leads you to where he wants you to go, instead of dragging you kicking and screaming like so many modern composers.
He's the Mondrian of music composition. A true and powerful genius.
??? Why? What is the link between Mondriaan and Glass?
I never tire of this music. It is so beautiful and so sad. Life and death, meanings, feelings , memories all arrive and depart, like breathing.
Always relaxing music, and you can tell he's famous, he appeared in South Park.
Y'know, this particular disc is hard to find. Not that that is any surprise. But it would be nice to hear this somewhere else, like driving or in my living room. This is all so sweet. I'll keep listening though. I can understand why very young children respond so positively to the music of Mr. Glass. It's transporting, making life seem much more embraceable. It makes me want to live. Here I am at three o'clock in the morning, with a driving headache, slowly being carried to somewhere else, cursing myself for not having learned the piano when I was young, seventy years ago. This music is excellent for resolving headaches by the way.
There are some copies of this disc available on Discogs. I just bought one from a seller in Australia.
When it comes to minimalism, J.van Veen is my favourite pianist.
This is one of my favourite albums, had it since it came out. I always thought Jeroen van Veen is one hell of a performer, in my opinion he gives Glass compositions a soul that Glass does not when he is performing his own work... I just love this rendition.
I listened half way through this collection and I was astounded by the approach this pianist used in recording these pieces. The rhythms are flexible and fluid instead of rigidly metronomic.
I'll be listening alot to this collection. Bravo.
you might check out branka parlic as well... ;) i think the approach you described fits the music incredibly well and emphasizes the beauty of it.
Thank you for this collection. I love how his music takes you into another world.
i really love the this white-skyblue color in cover. alwyas makes me feel good. light, open, wide, dreamy, childhood..
Gosh this is one of the best set of compositions I have heard in many years and so well performed on a wonderful piano. I have never knowingly listened to Philip Glass before so I bow my head and thank him for this wonderful piece . 🙏🙏🏿👏🎩🦄
I hope you'll keep listening to the music of Mr. Glass. It just keeps getting better every day. The string concertos, the symphonies. the many soundtracks (the Qaatsi cycle) all of the piano pieces, and the performers who are my favourites, Maki Namekawa and Branka Parlic and so much more. My day doesn't start without Glass.
波をつくる人は至るところに🌊🎵
私の心にさざ波が湧き立つ、クリスタルのように澄み切ったグラスの旋律。
Thank you, twoset, for introducing Glass. It was a meme at the start, but later i just fell in love with his music.
The Olympian (2:07:17) is a stunning translation of Glass. Wow!
I had a Russian friend who was kinda inscrutable, and though I never knew P.Glass, it was as if the Russian reminded me of him. so I told him thus and he laughed and said youre right about one thing, my nickname back home is Glass .

Thank you very much for putting this list up for us to benefit from - thank you!
@@vocalchords3609🎉😮❤
2nd track is absolute bliss.
you probably already did, but the five "Metamorphosis" pieces need to be heard in one listening
I have not heard this before. It was recommended by the Google learning algorithm. I love the opening. I have been a bit listless and listening to bits and pieces of things and unable to just settle and listen but this is just what my ears are in the mood for. Thanks Google. For the upload I am indebted.
Wow, all I can say is it takes a real genius to perform another genius’s work this solid. I’ve been listening to Glass for years and no one so far interprets his compisitions like Jeroen van Veen. i particularly like Mad Rush and Wichita Vortex Sutra.
Anton Batagov is pretty special too-and there is the Wonderful Valentina Lisitsa!
I think my favorite is Branka Parlic. Nicolas Horvath has some good performances, but some of his arrangements deviate too much for my taste.
I think its a cliche to assume the composer is necessarily the best performer of own works. I wouldn't have said that when younger and we don't get to hear Chopin or Liszt or Mozart. They may well be the best exponents of own compositions. But I've listened to Glass play Glass. I prefer Jeroen...
Comme la première lumière du crépuscule, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de vieilles promesses et à toutes les anomalies bienfaisantes de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les regrets, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés
Extraordinaire, mr Cirse
♥️♥️ Beautiful description, French makes everything sound so poetic!
STOP le CBD Frero
@@Superklebar Arf.. J'aime la poésie des mots Bro :)
pas mal réussi pour de l'écriture automatique, Philippe. le hasard mais bien tout de même. j'adore cette musique moi-même.
I was lucky enough to listen to his music played by him at the Herodus
Odeon, in Athens, Greece many years ago......
I love the human, non-quantized approach. Very essential for Glass. To make Glass have Budd-like qualities is impressive.
I love American symphonical music 😊
too magic
too hipnotic
too natural, as the leaves blowing by the wind in the dirt soil
I'm in love with such
thanks to upload such wonderful pieces
Chef d'oeuvre qui m'inspire et donne la joie de ré-apprendre à jouer
Thank You. Moves my heart and soul
Calms my soul and body simultaneously
this amount of skill is amazing! Cant imagine being able do do this
van Veen is great translator of Glass; love it
well said
So Peacefull and Balance. Creativity and clarity just flow...into You... enveloppe and elevate your spirit, soul and mind. Thank You so Much 🤗❤️ it's healing 🎁
Music to escape the insanity of covid19...This is Bliss
Adrian Saxson you said it’s name dammit
Adrian Saxson But yes it is lovely
Try Metamorphosis 4 by Glass.
More than that. It's in a place by itself, entirely. Not just escape music. It's monumental music ,once discovered.
I feel like he is putting my Life before me with each key
listening to glass' piano works makes me feel like i'm listening to the soundtrack to a video-game, but of my life
It's to music what video games are to experience. Glass will ever be as fragile as his name.
Es un placer volver y volver a escuchar la excelencia de Jeroen en la interpretación de otro amado compositor como Philip Glass: ¡gracias!
Glass....beautiful! Thanks
you find yourself dancing.....pulse in the bass line guides, sustains....if you are studying Alexander Technique, you can feel aliveness in fingertips, thumbs....subtle as breath.....supremely lovely and evocative
It is so so so.........Wonderful! I love this music, thank you a lot a lot! It is like diving in a clouds high high high, with white wings, so high. That music is so Pure.....Like I am a cloud, like I am in a clouds, like I have no weight at all...This is not a music - this is Heaven for my Soul.

Just call up Phil and thank him: 212-254-5707

So beautiful! Such Pure unadulterated sound. It closes any distance between the listener and streams of sound. Always fresh and freeing.
Brilliant performance and sound engineering!!
So simple but utterly entrancing, an excellent performance, thank you!
Absolutely fabulous ! Soulful, wonderul... thank you ❤️ Love from a humain being ❤️
BRILLIANT
Oh my god... What Wayne said. This interpretation is pure magic. LOVE.
I really love The Hours tracks! Just wonderful! So full of deep feelings for me! I watched the Film last year after hearing the music, and what I learned is that the music is far better than the film! And I think it's better to simply allow the music to take you away into whatever realms of feeling you need or want to go to!
Perhaps you watched the film with particular expectations after listening to the music first. I found the film beautifully poignant, and the soundtrack perfectly complemented it!
Cosa sarebbe la mia vita senza Philip Glass? Lo adoro e lo ascolto spessissimo
Sono contento per Lei.
Same
took me listening sessions spread over 3 days to listen to this entire video... excellent the whole way through... and the final piece from his opera Ahknaten was especially awesome
Admirable by its great effects through minimal means. 💡
Sober and powerful at the same time. 💖 🌹
Like meditation does.
Masterpiece ❤️
So smooth, so fine. This video is perfect.
Absolutely love this recording

This music for and by the heart, emotion and everything else what completes you as human. Feel it, then understand music is more, so much more than just a simple melody. Which could be as empty as no sound at all.
The first part of "Mad Rush" reminds me of something I heard from Wim Mertens. A song that had a voice too. Anyway, great music. I got here from "Tales from the Loop". If you are reading this --no matter when--, do yourself a favour don't miss it. =)
Je lis les commentaires élogieux pour cette belle musique dans toute les langues de ma belle planète. Tout ce qui nous rapproche est BEAU.
Oui, c'est si vrai! La beauté nous rapproche et nous lie à tous, les uns aux autres. C'est comme un type de colle.
absolutely flawless polyphonic counterpoint! The voice-leading is so deliberate--the moving chord cadences hit you in the feels hard--and then the resolution triggers catharsis through floating, lucent passages that evoke tears of joy. Glass is a master of taking you to other places that transcend the present moment... #NextRealm
Your appreciation and enthusiasm are wonderful, but Glass's music is characterized by little or no counterpoint. What you may be perceiving as such, like in Opening, is voice leading, not counterpoint. Sorry to be picky, but I think communicating accurately is desirable.
@@nadiazayman779good looking out--I quit Music school before learning the distinction so I appreciate the info!
Brilliant beyond words.

thank you for uploading this piece of art ❤
You're welcome 😊
I normally do not like covers, but this is great!
This splendor is undisputed
Yes, so very undisputed!
Thank you! Glass' music will follow me all day long . Thank you.
Welcome to the club.
interesting how much the interpretation matters even in such minimalist work....i would play the opener quite slowly myself...
Prachtig. Ik kende Glass alleen van zijn symfonische werk, maar ook deze pianomuziek is subliem. Schitterende uitvoering.
A masterpiece of ambient music
Wow. I cannot stop listening to Mad Rush
The Wichita Vortex Sutra is pretty absorbing too. Do you know Liquid days by the same composer?
@@PavelDGromnic thanks for the hint. There is a version of Mad Rush vom Glass himself on youtube. But I think, van Veen does it better than the composer :) much more precise
Extraorindarily sensitive playing. Bravo.
did not expect the beauty. don't know why.....bad,sneering press from way back? very comfortable in fact. thank-you.
Thank you so much for uploading this! The performance is superb.
I would like to go to the concert. I think that there will be many brighter days in my life and i will go 😊
Listening to this is my experience of being a glass of fizzy water.
Outra bela trilha musical de autoria de Philip Glass é a do filme "1492" , e creio que em 0:39:15 Mad Rush está no filme "Koyaaniskatsi"... Salvo engano de minha memória.
It does get a bit boring, after a while, but one knows what one is getting with Philip Glass, and what to expect. No surprises, in other words. Quite beautiful. Take it or leave it. 💜
Man... the end of Satyagraha always gets me.
I've been listening to The Olympian, at around 2:06:15 for a couple of days now. It seems to change the air in the room every few minutes each time I listen. It could be Megan Rapinoe's theme music. I should stop commenting on Glass' music. Just hearing it is enough.
probably the maddest Mad Rush recorded, certainly that I've heard
Like the first light of twilight, this music opens your eyes to old promises and to all the anomalies of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken regrets, flayed lives and the torpor of tormented watchers 🌺🕊
Yours seems a philosophical temperament, with an air of the creative writer trying to pin the sometimes ineffable in words.
