I'm going to contact my House Representative to draft a bill making it illegal to ever play a commercial through M418M on youtube.
The Marimba Player who's playing constantly on the offbeat has probably the most difficult Job in the Ensemble, seriously… Incredible Performance!!!
It makes my arms tired just thinking about it
Yes, that is really difficult, at least for me.
@@Nagoragama Its not the arms, it's the brains!
@@vKarl71 Bullshit. You don't need brain for this.
@@Nagoragama l''l'on' ln g,
This is what absolute perfection sounds like. Outstanding performance of a minimalist masterpiece.
Cette œuvre pourrait servir de cadeau de bienvenue à la première puissance extraterrestre intelligente venue nous visiter. Elle témoignerait du génie humain…
Absolutely!
I'm highly impressed by Synergy Vocals. They really blend their voices exceedingly well with the clarinets and strings (and mallets). I hate it when other singers try to make the piece about them. These singers understand Reich's idea about voices and instruments doubling each other.
This is the coolest thing on the internet for all time.
Such an important piece of music artistically, philosophically. Collaborative, inclusive, communal, beautiful.
Somewhere in this music lies a map for a better way of living, being.
You're so right. Thanks for your comment.
@@ensembleinter Don't speak for the entire ensemble. There are plenty of players in your ranks who think minimalism is dogshit.
Frank Feldman lmao chill out dude all he said was Thank you for the comment. You were really chomping at the bit to let the world know what you think about minimalism heh
Frankie, got a feeling you are deaf maybe.
@@frankfeldman6657 tell us what you really think! :-D
I've listened to every performance of this masterpiece on utube and this is BY FAR THE BEST! Perfect.
Thanks Jonathan. I've only heard this one and am totally i awe of it so won't go seeking other versions!
Seriously just to say it's great enjoying something deeply and knowing others do too.
diese wundersschöne musik gehört zu meinen favoriten, die ich immer wieder geniesse ... sie zieht mich..wie ein FLUSS ...hinein... in die Reise nach innen und gleichzeitig aussen... DANKE MEISTER STEVE REICH:
EINE FRAGE AN DAS ENSEMBLE INTERCONTEMPORAIN ... ich bin ein MALER ... und mache MUSIKFILME ... darf ich diese geniale Musik benutzen... um entsprechende Bilder zu suchen und zu finden. ?
I love this so much I use it to listen to while I fall asleep.
CETTE œuvre est d'une richesse telle qu'à chaque nouvelle écoute, je la redécouvre comme si c'était la première fois.
UN des bons signes de cette création est que malgré les nombreuses écoutes, aussi par différents groupes ou pas, est que je n'arrive pas à saisir, ou comprendre cette poétique. C'est bon signe pour ma stimulation, elle reste intarissable. Merci.
C'est celà la vraie amitié, où toute personne n'est riche tant par ses capacités à digérer sainement les multiples altérités qui l'entourent, que par ses propres richesses à surprendre régulièrement les autres. Pourtant capacités et richesses sont étonnamment presque ... communes, car elles restent stimulantes.
Le miracle de tous ces croisements est surtout, pour chacun, d'enrichir un dialogue intérieur. UNE méditation d'amour, nous invitant à ne pas oublier l'autre, tout en restant attentif à tous les autres.
Comme je dirais de façon métaphorique. Imaginons un même texte est lu symphoniquement en même temps en différentes langues, devant de nombreux publics, cosmopolites, et à la fin tout le monde semble comprendre et applaudit.
La musique de SR est sans égo, une mélodie de la biodiversité éclatante et permanente d'amours, où chaque élément particulier est fondé tout en sachant son interdépendance et sa temporalité.
Merci SR votre musique est hollocénique (décarbonée, très naturelle). ET donnez nous de nouvelles œuvres
Boulez's ensemble playing minimalist music! Great!
It must have been heaven for them to play a piece that is actually beautiful.
😎🎹
The silence at the end is just magic
This is my first time hearing something with so much complexity and harmony all in one. Collectively the sounds and tones blend together to create a purely unique feeling within me. I've never felt such a feeling of amazement and awe from sounds and rhythms. This is simply incredible.
If you want to get into Steve Reich with similar pieces, I highly recommend Octet and Music for a larger Ensemble ! Enjoy it all ;)
I think this is Reich's masterpiece-just beautiful
Love how the violinist holds her bow over the violin at the end, holding a moment of silence at the end of the piece. Brilliant. Perfect ending.
yes! that moment is stunning! :D
Thanks for sharing this top-quality performance, beautifully filmed and edited. I love this piece and this ensemble has brought out the best in it.
+Martin Poulter Thanks !
I've never had a favorite piece of music. although there's many pieces that I come back to time and again. This is one of those. There may be months between each listen then I come back and I treat each listen as the first. this is one piece that I come back to and it's almost like hearing it for the first time. one thing I do know is that the first time is always exciting.
Same, and when I come back to it, I often notice new patterns, harmonies or intertwining rhythms that hadn't revealed themselves before, especially if you go through different versions. This piece is fantastically rich.
a beautiful rendition of an otherworldly work of staggering genius; i first saw 18 musicians performed live around the time of the initial album's release, in 1978, then later by the same reich ensemble in the 1990s. really, i have clue how anyone could possibly not love this piece.
quand je lance cette vidéo, et que je n'ai pas le temps de l'écouter en entier à cause d'un imprévu, cela me demande un effort surhumain pour appuyer sur le bouton stop ! J'attends, je repousse l'échéance en me disant que la coupure sera plus facile quelques minutes plus loin, mais en fait c'est pareil plus loin, c'est impossible d'appuyer sur stop de manière douce et propre sur une telle composition....elle s'écoute en entier ou elle ne s'écoute pas ! C'est rare...et c'est beau.
This and Electric Counterpoint are probably my favorites. They just speak to my soul and it listens with ease. Masterpiece!
bought vinyl many years ago , this is wonderful , cant describe how it feels to hear this ,never really have been able to explain , other than to say its a collection of melodies dancing in space and time
Capolavoro assoluto.
Man! I can repeat this and hear it for days and days and days.
Something, in this music, takes us in the 70.s. Perfect to think, read, create, rest our mind... beautiful.🤩
Je ne me lasse pas de Steve Reich et de ses 18 musiciens. Merci. F.
Peut-être le chef d'œuvre de Steeve Reich. Interprétation parfaite
wow no command only its very very beautiful and the musicians are very very good thank you for this best of best art to play music from steve reich
This such amazing music, I never tire listening to it, always finding something new in its polyphony. It seems to capture the past and the future in the moment.
Substantially greater video than one with Reich performing. I hope I can dance to this on video so that it can be played at my funeral. It is fantastic and supremely uplifting.
Just brilliant!
This sophisticate classic orquester sound opens your mind to yoga and meditation, kundalini and Tibetan jogis - a real profound and experimental music experience!
This is so close to the way it was mixed and sounds on Phases. Loved Section V especially.
Like timeless waves of pulsating music - standing still and moving at the same time - absolutely marvellous!!!
Great performance! Love it!
What a thrilling performance!...this recaptures the magic of the earliest recordings of this work, yet an giving it a new refreshing perspective... merci.
I've been hearing Music for 18 since 2016 (more than 4 years) and this piece never tires me. This is one of the best ones. The ensemble is perfectly balanced (especially the Marimbas and Pianos) and the Pulses (beginning) sounded beautifully. Magnificent performance! 👏👏👏👏
That is one of the most incredible pieces of music that I have heard in a long, long time. Thank you.
I THINK I FIRST HEARD THIS IN 1990. iT TOTALLY BLEW MY MIND AWAY. I HAVE BEEN A MUSIC COLLECTOR SINCE 1967. IT IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECORDS TO THIS DAY. THIS MUSIC MUST GROW ON YOU. THE MORE YOU LISTEN THE MORE YOU WILL LIKE IT.
Might be my favorite live/video performance of Mf18M!
thanks Steve, and all your followers, on & outside this world
I've heard many performances here on RUclips and many of them are awesome and I definitely appreciate each and every musician who decided to play this amazing piece. But this performance is one of the most breathtaking. Focus we can see on a face of the violinist is intriguing :D
The piano is also more hearable than in most performaces, which is also interesting.
so beautiful, I can get lost in this music for hours
So true...Thanks Ilsa.
Extraordinaire composition, exécutée par de grands interprètes. Du bonheur!!!!
'Visually', a stunning performance to watch - Bravo!.
Mesmeric and static, an endless repetition crafted beautifully!
Fantastic, really fantastic performance of Reich's masterpiece.
Mesmerizing.
This is the definition of "Futurism"
***** *This is definition of "Universe"
A piece of precision engineering. Very exciting.
Stunning - what a piece - remarkable discipline of all the performers. The result is truly beautiful and ecstatically joyful. Just love the bass clarinets and the marimba players are superhuman.
"Music is another place" Phillip Glass. Steve Reich knows that place too and invites us there with this piece.
See you there 😊
Just watching them perform is an added element: mesmerizing. I love this piece.
This amazing music piece absolutely hypnotizes me. What is so attractive in it?
I believe that it is because serial principle applied in this music brings (or invokes) in us emotions and thoughts, but somehow from nowhere.
And that appearance or invocations of emotions and thoughts is miracle: the sun rise and sets, seasons follows each other by its order, rain falling, wind is blowing, the sea rises and falls... We are sleeping, then awakening, dressing, then we eat, work, relax... Everything around us and in us is just an serial principle, nothing else. But from where then are coming emotions? What we thinking? What's that colors our life? What gives aroma and character to our existence, to existence of everything? Answers are ours, in us.
The miracle of this music is that provokes such internal dialogue, during its durance and long after. Like meditation that leads us to at least partial enlightenment. Astonishing.
By the way, sound recording is absolutely magnificent. The best of at least seven or eight recordings I found and listened until now. Of course, that is result of fantastic performance of musicians, each of them.
on the day I last listened to this piece there were 13 people who gave it a thumbs down, WHY?
geil geil GEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wunderschön,,,,aufbau von allen instrumenten ....wow wow wow und ..ich weiss nicht, soll metheny oder reich sich oder uns grüüüsssen (hihi) "absolutly "gbuuuuuuut!!!!!!!
Truly enjoyed this. I can imagine a dozen dreams, a dozen stories, a dozen films none yet made. Thank you.
love this music
Bruh! This ensemble is perfection!
Perfectly in-sync for almost an hour, imagine how long they would've jammed this to get to this perfect state❤
Awesome!!!
Une des quelques créations musicales que je préfères sur cette planète, et je ne m'explique toujours pas pourquoi. C'est sans doute bon signe.
Don’t know why, but this really floats my boat! Thanks to all the musicians!
This is great! Thanks!
