Metamorphosis II by Philip Glass | Lavinia Meijer | TEDxAmsterdam

[@wakingtheworld]

Piano, violin, handpans... now a harp version of this mesmerising piece. Goosebumps. An exquisite performance.

[@tomkot]

One of the best TEDx Talks. Words are overrated, sound itself is a form of communication.

[@timsmith1894]

As someone who listen to Metamorphosis 2 every day from @Philip Glass, Ms. Meijer nails it!!

[@supersailorsailing6405]

Her modulation of tempo and volume are just exquisite beyond words.

[@ashhh2198]

ahh yes i know what that means :)

[@BestKCL]

@@ashhh2198 tempo = how fast the underlying "beat"/pacing of the song is volume = volume

[@barbara1943]

@@BestKCL downvote for being presumtpuosly pedantic; second downvote for being irrelevant; upvote for playing into the self-promoting game.

[@barbara1943]

absolutely, yes.

[@michaelyoung6557]

The transition of the cadence from one hand to the other is flawless

[@Revanced001Revanced00]

She transforms me to a magical world. Harp is the best fit for this piece. Have listened to piano also but harp is just devine...

[@razorrabbit2789]

On harp you can literally touch every tone. Gives kind of more adjustment especially when performing so called Minimal Music.

[@davismiller4369]

In performance after performance, no one touches the power, precision and profundity that Lavinia Meijer extracts from this piece.

[@digitalboxjellychironex3605]

This is very special. Such talent. I keep replaying this again and again…

[@tommaso1114]

I’ve just listened to this version of this song for the very first time and my jaw has dropped. Wow. She plays the harp so beautifully and she feels it with her whole body. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!❤️

[@DieFlabbergast]

It is a piece, or work. It is not a song. If you hear any lyrics, or any human voice, see a doctor immediately.

[@simplexj4298]

Philip Glass' original performance on the Grand Piano is great, but this is the real thing! Fabulous!

[@timoboyle8867]

Stunning performance.

[@paulmorton3259]

Love Philip glass, I find his music so transparent.

[@clocked0]

A year late, but excellent joke my friend :)

[@daevaskye]

A good joke and also a true quality of the music.

[@greymanBB]

Just the fillip one needs to get thru a hard day.

[@carolvota8619]

Lavinia Meijer is so beautiful and talented . what a treasure

[@timblock3483]

Goddess.

[@PCmaatje]

After listening to this piece of art I first needed to land back on Earth again and dry my eyes... Wow, this is soo wonderfully played!!!

[@paullanier8280]

Harp players are the best ! Have talent and skill . If this art was easy, everyone could do it. In admiration of her dedication to her perfect work.

[@PeppermintTwyst]

Captivating. Glass meets harp. A marriage made in the cosmos.

[@Anais-cs3ub]

I haven't words to describe my feelings which this master piece caused on me...

[@MindfulFuryy87]

This is one of the best versions I've seen

[@UbercakeNL]

I have long been admirer of Phillip Glass, Lavinia Meijer is however insanely brilliant...

[@claireroche4486]

I read long ago : ‘In world of shattered dreams , the Artist must celebrate the comely and the beautiful…radiant exuberant beauty .’. It was either Michael Tippett or Pablo Casals. Philip Glass and Lavinia Meïjer epitomise this in such a joyous way, as an immense gift to us all. Thank you so very much .

Love, peace, and a passion for her harp, her music, and for life glow on her face. Beautiful music and musician.

[@danielibarra0796]

This interpretation is shocking and exciting, because by the piece, as well as for the instrument and the performer. Beautiful!!!

[@vicentevarela7429]

Qué hermosa melodía , gran obra de arte . Inspiración pura gracias por tan lindos momentos , está música me sana y me ayuda cuando siento que todo está perdido ,eres un gran alivio !!!

[@maureenjones2093]

Just discovered this magnificent harpest. This composition is extraordinary. Music inspired by the Grand Musician of All. Thank you Ms Lavinia!

[@Youtuber90sdude]

One day they will fully discover the power of music and see the genius of this song. Simple yet powerful. I wish I could play it myself so I could experience it as a musician.

[@Hakeem4yeo]

when im gone, make sure to play this song...

[@tommaso1114]

Oh my God! I’m thinking the same. Ever since I heard of this song it takes me so deep emotionally and I want to have this played on “my last walk”

[@BreizhSharkFR]

@@tommaso1114I'm thinking seriously of a way to have her playing metamorphosis 1 & 2 and even more _(haven't listened much from her atm)_ at mine x') Hey Lavinia you could fly to Brittany for this ? x')

[@elsagk223]

My fave Glass’ song!! I’m mesmerised by this performance!!! 😮😮👏👏👏👏👏♥️

[@Mishka-g9t]

Bought tears to my eyes the shear beauty

[@Stefi-]

Wow. This Musik ist just wow! And she is so beautiful!

[@philippepourtau395]

Une découverte ,un gros coup de coeur! Une artiste qui fait l'essentiel: transmettre et transcender la beauté d'une oeuvre et donc l'envie de faire écouter aux autres.....une artiste , un compositeur Mission accomplie la porte est ouverte....BRAVO

[@peterf46]

Until seeing this, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible to make this music from a harp. Thankyou.

[@therobertburton1969]

I've loved Metamorphosis II ever since I heard it on This American Life circa 1998. I think Joe Frank: In The Dark used it too

[@danielabarbadillo1032]

Belleza❤️

[@chavaleah4]

Heavenly!!

[@user-ux1ti4ku9o]

Sounds like a whole life flashing by. It's silent and loud.

[@liz1497]

This made me cry

[@camofrog]

I played this song when the vet came to kill my dog.

[@timoboyle8867]

Yes! Life passing/flashing by... I love that, at least to my ear, there is the repeated mechanical sound of a clockwork throughout the piece ... tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock ... marking the time, the life, the music, that is passing by.

[@gabrieltanguay9695]

Ummm how come I didn’t know a harp version existed until now? Exquisite

[@jumpytravel9685]

i died of pleaser❤

[@richardhorrocks1460]

It's hard to explain to a non-musician the role of feel in this. You could play exactly the same notes and it could sound as flat and drab and boring as can be. This piece is so, so simple on a technical level, but with heart it becomes the music of angels.

[@JeffWildman-b1v]

Math at its finest
