Glass: Complete Piano Etudes

[@christopherbrookfield4785]

I love the music of Philip Glass, almost more than any other composer, contemporary, or otherwise. I am not sure why that is, exactly. Precise. Mathematical. Pure. Clear. True. Zen-like. Sad. Happy. Beautiful. Serene. Delicate. Fragile. Strong. It seems to have it all, say so much, with so little. Uncluttered. Lean and mean. Straight to the heart. 👌

[@eloytrejo1222]

Es todo lo que acertadamente mencionas.

[@mamacordella]

i second that, it is just beautiful rich sounds, like a soft pillow.

[@jppmccrea]

Just bought a lexicon? idiot fool annoying duh

[@Marcus_Sylvester]

True! Thanks for sharing! 👍 👍

@Jack Nimbel serene reflection meditation, is the name of it. Better than any drug. Perhaps you might check it out. ✌️

[@stuesdays]

I have had the amazing opportunity to see Phillip Glass in person three times. The first was when I was a college student in 1991 when he was touring with his ensemble. The second was in 2015 at BAM to discuss his autobiography. The third was also at BAM about a year or so later where he and several other musicians performed these pieces. H

[@peterburandt4586]

Mesmerizing performance! As is sound engineering!! Thank you, Brilliant Classics!!!

[@quietmind7476]

I love the way this pianist approaches Phillip Glass. I hope Glass is aware of this collection.

[@theoneandonlysoulofjin]

I love you Phlip Glass, just so so much 😭

[@livbusy4629]

Philip Glass gave the modern audience what they want, which is consistent volume and tempo suitable for intimate sounds between earphones or closed spaces, and hidden melody that can be singed along, it is an adaptation when musicians can no longer confine their audiences in one venue and have their inescapable attention. (Means in the old days, audiences have to go on the ride of volume, tempo and mood swings a live show can offer, but not for busy serial fragmental music listeners of the modernity, who wants to avoid adjusting volumes between piano music and pop, and distracted by the bi-polar swings of some classical pieces. ) While a lot say it is minimalism, I don’t think so. It has all elements of the attractions of other already proofed classical music, like tensional melody, subtle tempo change, narration with a climax, it is just that those elements are spreed into a slower time frame that are expected from previous piano sheets, and berried among atmosphere notes(yep, I think that is what those repetition notes are).

This is a perceptive comment.

[@faulknerorkney2692]

What a beautiful album - masterful playing of a magnificent composer. Thanks for posting!

[@blauwzakjecrack]

Dit is echt extreem straks en precies ingetoetst zonder concessie aan emotie. Mr v Veen, bedankt.

[@martineslava8642]

Une recueille si mystérieuse, si tendre, mais une véritable« chiaroscuro » pleine des paradoxes. Génie. Merci!

[@johnbroussard4856]

I've seen him only once. Need more.

[@pablokalincausky8359]

Very different from everything I've heard before !!! Congrats, Philip...

[@gillesfebvre64]

Très bonne interprétation des études de Glass. Complètement différentes des autres pianistes, plus personnelles, très virtuoses et en même temps remplies de douceurs dans un force assumée et un rythme impeccable. Du grand art, bravo.

[@BrentWooP]

Never heard this interpretation of No.8 (53:26) like that. Slow but with lilting, clipped articulation. Sally Whitwell follows this tempo, but keeps the notes a wash. Lavinia Meijer on harp keeps a moderate tempo but most importantly keeps rubato and melodrama to a minimum, which is effective. Most others tear through it, so this presents a more reflective side of the etude.

[@jelenaforfree]

Jeroen van Veen really adds a touch of magic to this piece!

[@rodparisst]

¡Magnífico! ¿Qué más se puede decir? La ejecución es de una virtuosismo clásico, impecable.

Most Beautiful Études! Great upload, Thanks!

[@garfreed]

They are wonderful. Glass has contributed so much to music.

I second what Christopher Brookfield said. It says so much with so little. Bravo.

Great work , viva Van Veen

[@ethanhill9460]

Pianist provides best interpretation of this material. Only Namewaka's interpretation is anywhere near as satisfying. I discovered GLASS's ETUDES on You Tube. I retire almost nightly to the the compositions. Now I'll add this upload to my downloaded You Tube library. I'll patronage this record label and support this pianist. ETUDE 2 is my favorite. I'll have it programmed at my wake. The interpretation is solemn yet hopeful. However possible I suggest release of ETUDE 2 as a "single". Reminds me of the mournful bluesy music released as Joni Mitchell's BLUE album. ETUDE 3 would be a great "flipside". The pianist hints perfectly at boogie woogie piano. GLASS rocks here and the pianist rolls perfectly with it.

[@abrahamtellez592]

Have you listened to _Amazon river_ ? From the album _Aguas da amazonia_ , the collaboration between Glass and Uakti? Etude 2 is the foundation for that piece and in _Amazon river_ they take it so far I can't help but cry every time I listen to it, it's my favorite piece in that album.

[@ramghz7030]

Glass compositions are sweet! However I'm not so convinced by Jeroen interpretation, notably No. 6 where I'm even guessing if he is on full control of the piano. Nevertheless thanks to Jeroen to share whith us Glass etudes.

[@LeviSheptovitsky]

Brilliant! Thanks you!

I love XII - Etude in D Minor

[@DiederikAms]

All exceptionally good and well, but KZbin still ruins the tension by throwing in the odd ‘intimate hygiene’ ad here and there, so I want to buy this on a cd so I listen to it in the comfort of knowing KZbin is not watching me. Brilliant Classics, can you put a link to a vendor in the description? Many thanks!

Holy shit he manages to drag out Etude VII to 15 minutes!!!

[@joelweber3462]

Not sure the appeal, though it can certainly work for dystopian or existential movies. The length of repetitioned monotony may indeed enable sleeping - or cause others the same torment as mindless elevator music.

The first track reminds me my early compositions.. not so good 😅

For our disappointings [s - because your disappointment, my disappointment, his her their disappointment - are different disappointments] there are no G majors at all. But I can’t use piano to fill the cell of the discourse formation.

[@greg55666]

He has a real habit of pausing between each section of each new piece. I don't think it's right.

[@Balding710]

Actually brilliant classics. So we hic et nunc are in the space of correspondence of name and esse (nama-rupa casual continuum).

[@yongli4304]

Good ambient music, good for study, not much melody.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

It sounds like someone is in a hurry.

No, the gaps between the sections is really bad.
