Starting today, *Metamorphosis* are available in all major streaming services Listen / Love / Share: album.link/T6mHCbPks7X4w I prepared this release to celebrate 4 million streams of this composition in my interpretation on KZbin (a bit late though, because the number of views has grown since then). After several unlucky attempts to make this recording on different instruments and in different studios I returned to the same living room and the same piano - Steinway & Sons model O made in 1926. I can not possibly explain this, but despite all the obvious technical obstacles that stand before you while recording in a regular room, with all the uncontrolled reflections, with the old piano in poor condition which makes you suffer a lot, with all the additional vibrations, rattling strings, hammers that require voicing, with a creaking chair - it turns out to be exactly how I perceive this music. So, one piano, 2 microphones, beloved Philip Glass, and my personal story with the place where this record session took place.

In 1980 I worked selling toe shoes for ballet dancers in New York City. One Saturday morning this guy comes in and asked for some shoes for his daughter's ballet class. We engaged in conversation about music and he invited me to see him play the piano the next day afternoon in a concert to raise funds for Tibet. It was in a church around the store where I worked. That is how I met Philip Glass. Ironically what impacted me when I saw him arriving on stage that Sunday afternoon, was that he was wearing old blue jeans and a working man's shirt. It was a total new way for me to be around a "classical" environment

I discovered his music in 2008 when I was 14. On an autumn afternoon, It was a very overcast rainy day in Los Angeles and I looked out my window to see the skyline gradually disappear into the dense rainy clouds. The rain was cold and when I opened the window I can smell it and feel the gusts of wind blowing in. Again, I listened to this album in Washington D.C. and Virginia on a very grey and rainy afternoon as I rode past the Potomac river and all the large government buildings - the music emphasizing the gravitas of their brutalist architecture. But for some reason it made me think of rainy days in New York before 9/11. So grey, cold, wet and melancholy, yet so beautiful and ethereal. A chilly nostalgia rains on me when I listen to this.

I originally came for the reason that Person of Interest played this song. Now each time whenever I play this song, it has a new meaning. I lost almost all of my friends, I changed schools, my love cheated on me, I had issues with my mom, continuing problems with my father; I broke and I wept for almost an hour. On one windy and cloudy afternoon as I was listening to Metamorphosis 5, I realized something. I realized that I don't really need to worry about all those friends I've lost, because in the end they never cared. Losing my best friend hurt, because all that happened was that I was being pushed away. I lost my other best friend, because he thought I was trying to "get at" him. I've lost a few family members, and a place where I thought was safe is just as bad as I thought - maybe even worse. Playing this song was a bit emotional for me, but also helpful; for the reason that I got to relive some of the memories that helped me. It sucks because majority of those friends helped shape me, my father is just someone who will never grow up and always stay in the past. I will grow and move, and since they're no longer with me, it has to be without them

I hate hearing repetitive sounds, but this song makes me calm rather than mad. I discovered him because of our group project, it doesn't feel like one cause i did most of the work it's about a research about composers of the 20th century and i was like "why not search up their songs for reference?" Glad i did cause the songs of the composers I've heard so far is into my likings. I've always liked listening to solo piano songs but i didn't expect to love it this much, it reminds me of the time when i wanted to study how to play piano but couldn't cause it's expensive and my top priority back then was to get high grades so even if i could've afforded it i wouldn't be able to study it anyways. I hope somewhere near or even if it's far from the future i hope i could study how to play piano and play beautiful songs like this too. I mean it's never too late to learn new things

He's not your "struggling artist" he's vastly regarded as one of the most influential musician of the late 20th. He chose minimalism. He studied at Julliard and even got a Fullbright scholarship so i guess professionals perceived his potential and through the decades his talent as been recognized all over world as he got to work with many many operas, symphonic ensemble and artists. Bottom line is...have some fucking respect the man's a legend not a mainstream candyman.

Glass's whole musical world is that of the mesmerist. From the first, his work completely captured me. The Photographer was my introduction. I have continued to be mesmerized by his work, and how it has developed over so many years. Yes, some of the work does not reach the best of him -- The Tirol Concerto, etc. But his prolific output, when listened to in progression shows that he is truly one of our great composers. From classical compositions to film scores, he intrigues every time. At least this listener. Yes, it is work that needs attention -- close attention to its subtle but very real changes. But would you call Monet repetitive? Not if you actually see the those magnificent lilies in front of you. For me, it is the same with Glass. He does for my ear what Monet does for my eyes. If one listens closely, you can't help hearing the influence of Chopin's 'Nocturnes' in this work. His classical training is obvious. This video is even more compelling to watch because of all the hand work -- you can see the composition become visually alive. It's a superb performance.

Poetry is very different to music, however, in that its emotional impact is more often than not due to a more or less conscious interpretation of the words rather than the inherent musicality in the words and their rhythms. The latter can enhance the emotions but are seldom the main carrier of them unless you pick words only for their musicality and not for their semantic content, put them together in a repetitive pattern until you forget what the word might have originally meant and just experience the rhythm and melody of them, which would be a poetic equivalence of a Glass piece, I guess. I don't know of any poets who makes such poetry, though I am sure there would be some who do.

@georgetate60556 жыл бұрын
I think anyone composing today has many, many, many years or decades or centuries of "styles" available flowing through the blood/DNA. I think we have to always caveat our tendency to box in ANY modern composer - box in a composer when it comes to style or comparing him/her to a composer from the past. It's natural for us to want to pigeonhole any composer. This is the post-everything period. Post-post-post! :-) Renaissance, Baroque, romantic, post-romantic, 12-tone, and any other style you can think of is alive in modern music. Some music (a lot of music) is composed/published every year that is not worth our time - or, is it? The long and short of it is, I like to approach new compositions with an open mind - as open as I can, at least. I just realize that we ALL have a reaction to new material that can be instantaneous and that sometimes - many times - I find my first reaction is not what is true for me after another listening (or 2 or 3). My quartet has performed several of the Glass Quartets and loves them. Just the other day a couple of us were reminiscing and we agreed that some of the best times - most enjoyable times - was practicing and performing Glass!

As wood ages, it gets drier and drier and this causes the cell walls shrink even further. This shrinkage and loss of even more water (wood is put into a dry box before building an instrument to get it down to 7%) allows the sound waves to travels even better along the woodgrain. This is why older instruments sound better and better with age.

at first i was thinking to read some essays and use this album as the background music, but i couldn't, i just can't help to stop what am doing and sink in the music to feel deep in it. It was so beautiful, one just simply can't ignore this beauty lies behind the lyrics.

I was introduced to Mr. Glass music when 'Koyaanisqatsi' ( ha missed only one "a" ) was played on a PBS viewing. And ever since then I watched all "Qatsi" trilogy!! Thanks Philip Glass, a Great American composer!

Essa sensível e linda melodia foi utilizada pelo grupo de dança de Petrópolis do Estúdio Renata Abreu. A coreografia representou a tragédia sofrida pelos Petropolitanos em fevereiro de 2022. Com essa apresentação venceram em 1°lugar o 9°Festival de Dança Movimento Carioca. Parabéns a TDS!!!

I had no idea who I was meeting back in 1989 on a train from Amsterdam to Berlin when I met PhillipGlass and his musicians...they were playing in Berlin and invited us to come see the show for free....VIP tickets...really?!, we were backpackers.....It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of our journey And now I see just how influential he was beyond his own work. It seems to me he also instilled a similar passion in Nils Frahm, who to this day I am enthralled with too. So beautiful to experience such passion in the artistry of music!

With today being Veterans Day I listened to Adagio for Strings, op11 by Samuel Barber. It was performed by a pianist who conducted it on September 15th 2001. I saw it live on TV from London in 2001. Its on you tube. I cried my eyes out. Then right after that video a pianist named Nobuuki Tsujii wrote and composed "Elegy for the victims of the Tsuami of March 11, 2011. It was so sad and he cried throughout the whole song as tears dripped down on his piano keys. And now I find Philip Glass. Piano solos have so much feeling and yes these are sad yet beautiful. 11/11/2017

Metamorphosis One; reflects my soul during and after the shattering. The world rewinds, replays once again in my mind; like a dream - moving forward reliving the shattering of my soul. A father rights, although all evidence proven true mean nothing before a judges whose impatience is her wisdom. Gazing beyond her rotund bust with her jaded eye fixed upon me while her other shines with unending mercy for an alienating mother whose potions of poison has corrupt my children's minds. It only took a moment, no more than a blink of her eye to dismiss my case where as I, I invested years and time pouring endless effort into pursuing my children through a failed court.

I've been listening to classical music since I was about 9. I hardly ever listen to the stuff I bought from nonesuch many years ago. I didn't run on to Phillip Glass works until 2004. I could go into Barnes and Noble and listen. I liked everything I heard. I like the repetition

I love Philip's operas, his piano music..all his music. He played piano in our small city, Norwich UK. What a privilege. Playing and hearing his piano music is a huge solace during this dreadful pandemic. Just so marvellous. Sending this with huge appreciation and love to the wonderful composer.
