Wow. I never heard Glass played like this before.

[@TimoAndres]

Thank you very much Mr. Snacks

[@zsakrock]

Thank you, Timo. Your rendition wasn't the first I heard of this etude. But became my favorite instantly. The tempo, the control, and your focus are on point. Never pushing too hard, or fast. Yet you achieved both speed, and emotion. With control, patience, and precision. It's as fascinating to watch you play, as it is to listen. But what keeps bringing me back to your rendition though... is the sheer fact that you don't monetize, and slap ads on this, like the rest. It truly brings me great joy, that you are sharing your hard work, and dedication. With no strings attached. So I share this with everyone I can. One day though, I'd love to play this, as you do. But until that distant future arrives... Etude No.6 by Timo Andres will be my go-to aspiration. Godspeed, sir.

[@collincanright]

This is one of my favorite of the Glass etudes. I love the smoothness and intensity of the performance. Brought me to tears.

[@andrewc9643]

some people slow down when there are large jumps (left hand) or more difficulty passage...and of course, repeated notes are difficult to keep even. You are really good on keeping it together and really expressing greatness. Thank you for this performance. Edit: I have now watched many videos. I genuinely love this one the most!

[@MrVigorous]

Your interpretation is crazy. It's like feeling new life in Glass' composition.

[@thor3600]

Majestic interpretation, thanks for sharing. This amazing piece really suits the bosendorfer

[@rosamundaics]

This is the best version of Glass etude

[@lukusridley]

I have never found this piece very gripping but the amount this performance adds is extraordinary - just beautiful, beautiful touch. Thank you for helping me to find the beauty I was missing in this!

[@insight9111]

That absolute best version of this song. Amazing. Hits me straight in the feels.

[@WilusDeMar]

I came across this performance while still on the heels of COVID hibernation for many. I keep returning to this performance like its water. It quenches just right. Brilliantly done! Thanks for posting.

[@mclearr]

This is one of my favorite Glass pieces, it’s the one I turn to at the end of a long day to get enough energy for that last hour! Fantastic performance and recording! Thank you!

[@yanandworld2159]

A delight for the ears and eyes, the camera angle changes, it also gives me ideas on how to finger my hands. Thanks for sharing

[@emilymotherwell8756]

omg i cannot wait to hear this whole program

[@bettyghidons2991]

Adoro questo studio!Bravissimo!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@steinmath]

I just heard you perform this and Etude 5 at Lincoln Center and they completely blew me away and transported me to a dream world. Such an impressive performance. Thank you!

[@pokajanen]

Wow. That tempo is fast! Love it.

[@constantinetabs]

Great playing and this piano sounds amazing 😮❤ 2:29 Thank you for this captivating interpretation.

[@joannakrupinska8466]

Woww 🌹🌹

[@Lksz-l9k]

This is above every single other rendition.

[@jakerr35]

I learned this piece last summer; your playing is absolutely superb!

[@IWantMyTimTV]

Thank you.

Whoa, you make Speedy Gonzales look like regular Gonzales! Amazing speed and beautifully played!

[@olinwilliams]

Futurama!

[@behradkhadivi8037]

This is by far the best performance of Etude No. 6

[@joshjams1978]

This is a whole journey! Magnificent

[@lmn72]

No words... I'd say... take super good care of your fingers... have a sweet rest, dear. What an amazing performance!

[@solangeadorno5304]

Bravíssimo!!!!!!

[@tommartin8700]

Andres: EXCELLENT ! Glass: obsequious.

[@kellypaws]

This is beautiful. I cannot even imagine a more excellent rendition.

[@MidnightMiik]

So beautiful and intense! The speed on those single note repeats… very nice! Incredible piano too!

[@nz7575]

Interprétation envoûtante 🌌

[@Helix3829]

AMAZING!!

[@2K10stang]

Lovely.

[@disec]

This is brilliant. Thank you.

[@timothybryanjohnson]

This is really the best.

[@maultooga]

that octave that just crashes at 00:56 is goated

[@LauraNunez]

Wonderful!!

[@rominafunes1347]

Que hace un hombre frente a un piano ...con esa loca fascinación llenándose de sonidos envuelto en la locura de la música, un encuentro mágico

[@marekvodicka]

0:27 That melody sounds like The Moldau from Bedrich Smetana

[@ignaciogianola4338]

Beautiful piano. I would like to buy some that one.

[@phil2u48]

Beautiful fingers…

[@ЭльвинаИскакова]

Потрясающее исполнение👏

[@EdavidEM]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@fstaccato]

For me, Olafsson was the only one to give this piece the right tempo, the regularity making it flow like a stream of clear water, the only one to reach its soul. Well, it looks like a second one has found the grail. Wonderful interpretation, carried by grace

[@dubhmor]

I love Olafsson's version too, but his tempo to me gives the piece a more romantic feel. While this version feels darker and closer to the original. Personally this is my favorite.

[@robjamieson7981]

Olafsson attempted a highwire act, but didn't quite pull it off. Too many mistakes and imprecisions. This is much more technically adept, but I think Namekawa still takes it.

[@jakub.pianist]

he is just extremely overrated sorry. this guy plays so much better

[@Lksz-l9k]

@@robjamieson7981 Namekawa sounds too robotic for me. This one is balanced, both technical and emotional.

[@ryanphelan6861]

​@@robjamieson7981there were pauses in there in time where if it was jazz he could make it swing : ) but they were just fractions of time missed or as you said imprecision. It's creative but it's not Philip glass reason why her versions are under Philip glass banner. I love this version though my favorite in dynamics builds and flows why I love gilels he's the man who would have mastered this. Maki to me is to glass like Horowitz to Rachmaninoff where composer loved how she heard the song and in his head even though it's his music that's how he wants it to sound. Sorry to ramble beautiful by all but I was lucky enough to see him in 90 s at Carnegie Hall. He's incredible and we what a venue the sound is just so rich people were noticably emotional

[@aliskprado]

Great work, sir!

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

This is amazing technical playing! Maki Namekawa is brilliant at Glass’s etudes as well, but I REALLY love the effort and seeming ease with which you play this. Any chance of a recording or video of Glass’s 12th Etude? Thank you for sharing this with the world, sir!

[@LeoBanifaci]

Восхитительно. Браво

[@dieseltieger4173]

Fantastisch gespielt

[@BenedettaSaglietti]

Wow

[@trucbidule1987]

woow incroyable

[@karakamen]

I would love to learn this piece, but it's impossible on my Roland keyboard. The keys bounce back extremely slowly which prevents you to play repeated notes fast.

[@npablogonzalez9651]

Wow! You play so fast. That piece should definitely be hard! 🎹

❤👏👏👏👏

[@РомаКотор]

Чётко. Brilliantly.

[@AlkanLove]

この同音連打を1つの指でやるメローのエチュードは最高にイカれてます

[@TimoAndres]

agreed

[@branislavmiladinovic7284]

does anybody have the sheet music?

[@serendipitymusik587]

🎉

[@danielclaverotoledo9497]

In what year did he compose this song?

[@user-kz9sg2cx6]

Right tempo.

[@bosendorf2]

Sinceramente nell'ascolto non riesco a sentire la divisione in 3/4 , come in tutte le esecuzioni ascoltate ma il tempo percepito è il 6/8. Anche la mano sinistra non mette in evidenza la durata degli 8vi rispetto ai 16imi, come riporta la mia partitura. Dico questo solo per sapere se la mia percezione ritmica è sbagliata. Resta il fatto che l'esecuzone è formidabile.

[@maumtzrs1344]

please touch Philip Glass Etude 14

[@StefanoBozolo-r1r]

I don't understand, and I would totally disagree, Glass wrote semiquaver = 132, here it's more than 210, the sound is clear and nice, but the piece is not the same, try 132 and feel the difference.

[@СезарияЭвора-й9у]

О чем эта музыка? Почему я плачу?

[@freethinkerpodcast1798]

Very nice. I like this performance better than Vikingur's, because when the heavy parts come in they can be heard better. Good idea not to play this too fast.

[@sueminty7503]

That ending......

[@Mr.Donavan]

Sheesh

[@PopeLando]

Timo looks like young Philip Glass.

[@amkent2134]

Trying to learn this currently.... Hands cramping... Soul leaving body lol need more skillz

[@artmickful]

I'm sorry! But Yuja Wang...

[@coloc2414]

I'm curious.... What is it for ?

[@chicobicalho5621]

@artmickful can you elaborate a little further? Kind of a vague comment there. What is it, you have the hots for her?... Yuja Wang... is cuter?... Yuja Wang has nicer breasts? Help us out here.

[@clauded3220]

Yuga Wang est si jolie en plus... 😊

[@coloc2414]

@@clauded3220 rien n'à voir et c'est si impoli, méchant et inutile de venir sous la vidéo d'un artiste pour lui dire "désolé mais elle...." C'est juste blessant et c'est dans l'unique but de piquer. Chaque artiste est différent et si tu aimes un artiste, vas le lui dire sous SA vidéo, mais ne va pas le dire sous la vidéo d'un autre artiste, en plus en mode "désolée pour toi."

[@AlexanderSkrjabin]

Like Yuja Wang more

[@hml1757]

Advertising is more and more stupid. Lies and lies and lies. You Tube is part of it. What a shame. That's enough.

[@noklarok]

too fast

[@denniscowdrick1255]

Excellent rendition. Unfortunately I find this modern “music “ unsettling and way far from pleasant!

[@LucianoFaricelli]

Pointless, idiotic music

[@keithcooper6715]

Excellent
