- Audio is from "Philip Glass: Violin Concerto; Prelude and Dance from Akhnaten; Company" cd.
Uploading this one because by the time I'm doing this there is just one version of this amazing track on RUclips... and it's a video with Jim Carrey in it, without any reference to Akhnaten's play!
Also, this was cheaply made using Windows Movie Maker, and this was my 1st RUclips upload, I might make a better video of it in the future
Enjoy the ride :)
I used to listen to Philip Glass while driving my car. I had to stop. Sometimes I was so involved with the music that I didn't know where I was. I was transported. This piece is the one that convinced me to listen only at home. I don't know what property of music compels this state, or how he does it, where it comes from, or what it means, but I listen to his compositions every day. There's nothing like this piece though.
I feel the same way. I could listen to Einstein or Akhnaten for hours and just switch off and get lost in it. I don't know how Glass did it but it's absolutely mesmerizing.
It was mesmerizing, MAGICAL! The best Met Opera in 20019. I saw it 3+0.6 times , & still would see it again and again!!!
20019 v.Chr oder n,Chr. ?
20019 BC or AD ?
:D
Okay, I'm just curious... what does it mean with 0.6? You watch it in halves I presume
@aughbable7486 opera is watched by the tenth in the year 20019. Trust me
This needs to be on DVD. Missed it, know it was fabulous. Soon. Please
The image at 1 min11secs is so special to me That is the production I first saw at the London Coliseum ENO in 1985 I was with a friend Although I had heard Philip Glass and his music Koyaanisqatsi I had never heard of seen Akhnaten At the end we all rose and gave the performance a standing ovation I knew I had seen something that would be with me for the rest of my life and so it has I have now seen all of the trilogy of operas a number of times, but Akhnaten was and will always be by far my favourite musical composition
That music is mesmerizing and grows on you.....saw this Opera at a local theater and would see it again...This is the music that starts it all.....
First time here listening to this version and I absolutely love it!
The slower paced tones soothe my ears and soul 🙏🌞
😇🙏😇
Now I would love to see the new version of the Met Opera 2019 and 2020.
@Maricamen Frias -- Saw it on Live at the Met Saturday afternoon November 23, 2019. It is spectacular! Will see it at least once more in an encore. (I don't live near to New York, so can't attend in person but sure would if I could. Almost at any price!)
Saw it on HD broadcast yesterday: spectacular! Can’t get it out of my head.
@@frauleindaniela -- Me too! There are four Encore presentations scheduled for February, so will go to see it again.
@@judithsmith6920 I realized the MET production was on the slower side, like this version. I'd say I like the original "faster" tempo better. Playing slower puts an extra strain on the violas and makes intonation problems more obvious. I hate to admit that I'm really NOT a fan of McDermott's new production...I found the visuals way too distracting, and sometimes even felt his grandiose staging got in the way of the music.
@@judithsmith6920 I can imagine!!
Interesting version with musical phrases very well developed, is my perception.
LEVIATHAN !
You coppers just going to wait for the mayhem to start?
Mom, what's mayhem?
You'll know when you're older.
I want to know now.
Let's put that gun away..., from harm.
Mom, what's harm?
Quit bugging me. Remember when you set the cat on fire?
Yeah. Who did it this time?
Nobody.
Then where's the harm?
Knock it off.
@Daphen axa : Isaw the opera yesterday and thought that the music sounds like a movie soundtrack. Today I discovered where I heard it first. 😄
When will this be on tour again? I've been waiting decades! I've seen the other two works and need this last one before time runs!
In February in Ghent and Antwerp (Belgium).
See operaballet.be/nl/programma/2014-2015/akhnaten
Were you able to see it in New York?
Long live Nefercheperure Akhnaten Waenre. Life Health and Stability.
this version is awesome!
My mind swirls and I think of nothing :)
To me
Then you are well equipped for Glass's music.
Wunderbar
One of the best works of music
Compared to what?
Akhnaten konkrétně Prelude,je současná moje tzv,Repeteskladba,kterou hraji stále dokola třeba 6 hodin.Evokuje to u mne muziku z nějakého filmu,žel si nevzpomíním z kterého-nicméně tento dokonalý minimalismus současného-žijícího autora,američana, se mi velmi líbí.Ostatně mnoho ´´minimalistických´´ děl je světoznámých a oblíbených (např.Ravelovo Bolero)
And where did you get the piano vocal score?
Aton est mon dieu
Moi aussi.
The best part is the first 5 minutes and the last 3 minutes
O Egyto não é isso.
Danke
I hate when people upload things at low volume.
Where did you get this recording??? Which version is this one?
This is in the watchmen...OH gawd this matches Ozymandias so much
Amazing!!!
Interesting version, slow than other versions.
Hervorragende Komposition - so viel Spannung und mysteriöse Atmosphäre erzeugend ..unglaublich ...
brilliant arrangement on this piece. timeless
then upload it by yourself in a better quality. otherwise just shut up
Thank you
Μαγεια !
suena como para una peli de terror o una creepy pasta
Epically dogshit music. The Emperor's New Clothes artistic scandal of our time, ugh.
Just call up Phil and thank him: 212-254-5707
Spot on! What mind numbing pretentious garbage. Amazing how many people think this is a work of genius. I am sure they think they are the culturally enlightened ones and that the average opera devotee does not know any better.
to all the haters.......we get it, you don't like Phillip Glass or other minimalist composers.......their talent shouldn't be ridiculed or dismissed simply because you don't like the piece..........
@@barrymorentz5190 they ARE culturally enlightened........unlike musical Neanderthals like yourself
