The first Philip Glass piece I ever [consciously] heard was the Etude 6 played as an encore by the great Yuja Wang. I was immediately stunned speechless about the beauty of the piece. Thank you Maestro Glass for sharing your music with the world.
Thank you Philip Glass for your passion, determination and commitment, to succeed. No matter the obstacles and the challenges you adhered to your vision and for that I am thankful.
Glass was the greatest composer in the past 100 years. I will stand on this. I had the privilege seeing him close and distant and am in complete rapport with his depth and intelligence. I remember in the beginning certain music critics sneered. We do not remember them but the world will always know Mr. Glass. Thank you sir for your incredible beautiful music.
Excellent video and interview. "Einstein on the Beach" changed my life. How wonderful to hear it seeping into the background. Like a lullaby from childhood.
People forget he can in fact create music outside of his style. He has composed music for several films, and it is much closer to classic hollywood rather than his iconic style. He is an OG. He understands music.
I cherish that I live in a world where Beethoven lived and Glass is living. Both composers made different music but the same message: Living or existence is power These two speak to me. Thank God.
Note to video producers- Use a wider shot during cut-aways, so we can see the hand gestures and body language, which say so much. For example, at 8:33, Glass motions with his hands (like a composer) and we almost totally miss that gesture.
What a wonderful man is Philip Glass. I had the pleasure of meeting him after shows and he always had time for 5 mins and last time 10 minutes chat. A kind and generous man, and what higher praise can I give but that.
Glassworks, the first time I heard the synergy between the two harmonics and hear the third "real" music, the result of the two combined, that blew my mind!!! Philip, you have changed my life, and for that I am forever grateful and I will advocate your music to our young ones... Thank you!
This man is my hero. I remember watching The Truman Show for the first time at 10 and crying at not the movie, but Phillip Glass' art. I played Truman Sleeps in my 7th grade talent show, and because of him I found my passion for music and film as an adult. I thank this guy for existing every day.
It really isn't necessary to keep changing camera angles..going from black and white to tinted etc. We're here to listen to Mr. Glass speak. We don't be bored or need diversion.
I've been listening to Philip Glass since the late 1970s. I think I bought every piece he recorded, including getting VHS tapes of movies for which he wrote music not recorded elsewhere, at least until the 1990s. But I'm like the youngsters who prefer his earlier work. Music With Changing Parts and Music in Similar Motion, when I first played the albums, were practically unlistenable to me, not because they were stale or badly done, but because they were so radically different and challenging. That's how I knew I'd found something I needed in my life.
I first learnt about Philip Glass in a documentary about Chuck Close, whom was a good friend of his. Both men are amazing artists. Glass' music is sublime. Highly recommend the documentary on Glass, and on Chuck Close.
For me, the haunting soundtrack for the documentary Thin Blue Line is such a key element of the film that I could not imagine seeing the movie without it. This film with its music will live forever. I have always wished I could hear Mr. Glass speak to how he saw this project and wrote such impactful, passionate music for this work.
...and not everyone finds their voice by the time they're 30. Been at it for 15 years and still not found it myself. I keep in mind there are no rules to this.
True. A lot of my favorite visual artists didn’t start creating until their 40’s and 50’s, one even started in his 80’s and went on to be very popular.
In terms of composing music, I was a late bloomer. I always sang, but never mastered an instrument, and didn't play. But then something clicked, like a switch turning on, and I had both a need and ability to compose. That was in 2008, when I was 54. I've been composing since then. I'm 70 now. My gift is limited, but it's real.
Dear Philip, you asked me, whether I'd like you to be my father? Sure! I'm in Netherlands Amsterdam. Aren't you working on my operaworks? Meet me in the city, if you're there! I love your music !! ANNA EINSTEIN.
When RUclips was first starting out, I watched every Philip Glass video, especially the Stuttgart production of Satyagraha (they only had excerpts from the first scene)
How can I actually listen carefully and respectful to what this musician tells from his deepest inner when all of sudden a music layer forces me to listen to it instead of him? If I would meet Philip Glass (or anyone) in real live, sitting in front of him, having eye contact, listening ... it would be considered very impolite and distracting turning music on - even if it was music from this same composer. This is what is called 'modern time' or 'progress': information overkill and distraction everywhere and all the time. 😕

Brilliant interview
Bless this man. Follow your bliss people. No matter what.
Excellent video and interview. "Einstein on the Beach" changed my life. How wonderful to hear it seeping into the background. Like a lullaby from childhood.
The first time I heard 'The Photographer' in the mid 80s, I thought what on Earth is THAT? Mind blown! I was hooked.
Act III of The Photographer is my favorite Philip Glass work. I think it’s the most beautiful and exciting music he has written. 🏇🏇📷🏇🏇
A genius. Have been listening to his music and seeing his concerts for more than 45 years
People forget he can in fact create music outside of his style. He has composed music for several films, and it is much closer to classic hollywood rather than his iconic style.
He is an OG. He understands music.
1:45... brilliant quote from a brilliant man. great and important video. Thanks.
Music comes from you which comes from the universe. You are the universe Uni Verse Philip. :) Leia Schatz
I cherish that I live in a world where Beethoven lived and Glass is living. Both composers made different music but the same message: Living or existence is power These two speak to me. Thank God.
Me too
Masterpiece :)
Beautiful
Glass' music is superb. Thank you for making our lives even more worth living.
The GOAT. Love ya Philip! Super cool guy too. He called me at my office to wish me a happy birthday.
how does he know you?

I always wondered what, who, and how... about Glass.. Good to hear him, etc. Historical video.
What a nice guy.

A highly talented, creative and intelligent composer and performer, who after all these years is still at the top of his game. ❤
Read his book; brilliant, like his compositions.

BELLISIMO!🙏
Those who have yet to hear his "Fall of the House of Usher," do yourselves a favor: check it out now, for Halloween. (Or ANY time!)

Dont worry Batman, we still believe in you.

batman? @@AshleyMintz
what music do you really want to hear? make that

Love his music

What a mild self effacing cat! Dignity !
Дивовижний композитор,
if only the music wouldn't distract my so hardly...
Jesus loves you ❤️🔥
The pieces playing in the background makes it confusing to listen to.

what's distracting to you isn't distracting to everyone. I have no problem listening to his words with his music playing in the background.
My solution to this was being interested in what he had to say.
I THOUGHT IT WAS FRANK COSTANZA
Why do you have to do two cameras? And one in black and white, nonetheless less. It is annoying and unnecessary.
Contrast and insert cuts draws your attention so editors can guide you through the clip.
It’s “artsy.” 🎨👨🏻🎨
