Once, I loved a woman, I still do, but she never loved me back. This music takes me to her, in a place without boundaries, without time, without age. And whilst the music plays, I feel loved. And I don't want the music to end, so I play it again and again for hours. Always the love. Always the hours.

[@felixetienne-edouardpfeifl9996]

That's very sweet and you've expressed it beautifully. Music can do that for us in a way perhaps no other art form can. It's a marvel of human creation.

I am a classically trained piano player since I was 7 (I am 43), and I firmly believe that The Poet Acts is one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed (and it get even prettier when it’s played piano-only). I can’t believe why this OST didn’t win an Oscar.

Many years ago during college I spent a Saturday helping a Swiss master pastry chef shuttle deserts to a faculty dinner. He saw me looking longingly at the Napoleons he was finishing. He cut a piece of it for me. I tasted it and said to him, "Oh my god! How can anything taste this incredibly amazing?" He smiled proudly and asked, "Would you like another?" When I tried to describe the music of Philip Glass, I immediately thought about that Napoleon. Incredibly amazing. Sometimes I wonder if I worthy enough to listen to it. I feel so privileged to live in a time when I can access this kind of beauty anytime I want.

[@alexhudson810]

Philip Glass found a very emotional way of expressing the unstable balance of the soul. This gives rise to various variations in the shades of this condition. He reflects one theme in his music. But the found form is so successful that it can be repeated like the human genome and always be deep in content.

Harold, are you familiar with his operas, especially "Satyagraha" and Akhnaten"? We saw "Satyagraha" at the Met back in 2011, and I still count it as one of the most moving experiences of my life, musical or otherwise. We'll be at the Met for this season's "Akhnaten" as well. Please, look these up and delve into them. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I love the piano compositions of Philip Glass. I read posts, obviously from trained musicians, that point out that he is not really all that much of a great talent, and I try and listen to as many great composers that I can but, other than Rachmaninoff, they just don't exhibit the beautiful, pounding passion of Philip Glass. Every day I keep coming back to give him a listen. As an artist, I find him to be my muse.

[@a.t.678]

Sometimes the greatest beauty comes from simplicity. As a pianist, I can see that Glass uses many simple and common techniques in composing his pieces, but it's not about how "easy" it is, but about how masterfully it's executed. In this, Philip Glass is a master. I absolutely adore his music, and it soothes my pianist's soul to listen to it. And this artist here plays with such mastery and emotion that you're carried away into deep thought by listening. THAT is true musicianship. Bravo.

[@liliangomezalvarez9095]

I agree for the most part. Have you ever heard performances by Claudio Arrau on the piano, though?

​@@a.t.678 Es lo que me gusta de la música "minimalista", su sencillez. El repiqueteo de la lluvia en la ventana perdería su sentido si fuera más trabajado. Me harté hace mucho de los arabescos de la barroca y los estallidos del romanticismo. Este raudal de agua fresca era del todo necesario.

Probably even harder, but thank you for this rendition...

This is good writing music. The constant repetition and variation in this soundtrack are hypnotic; the music puts you in a productive trance and squeezes out just enough emotion to keep you engaged, but not a surfeit of feeling that will distract you.

(1972) and released the first album in 1973! "Music in Similar Motion / Music In 5ths" and his vast muiscal work, with soundtracks! etc ... there are about 86 (eighty-six) :) discs released on the market! out the cameos! for other artists and also composers! I have physically three masterpieces that are for me "The Thin Blue Line (Original Soundtrack) 1999" Philip Glass: Music in Twelve Parts "1993 and finally" Philip Glass: The Complete Sony Recordings "2016. It has already released in 2020, four records that I haven't heard yet. All this work and talent, doesn't match the popular saying!

Desde los años ochenta (¡hace cuarenta años!), le sigo la pista a la música de Philip Glass, fue en una estación universitaria de radio de la ciudad de México. Toda o casi toda me gusta de una manera que diría es casi obsesiva. Ya muy tardíamente conocí este album; acaso cuatro o cinco años han pasado desde entonces. Y desde ese momento se convirtió en mi favorito, y nada fácil fue esa elección. Hoy lo escucho con mucha frecuencia, yo pienso que mínimo una vez por semana, es decir, que lo habré escuchado unas 200 veces y no me cansa ni me hastía. Me sigue maravillando con una nitidez propia de un primer encuentro con el ser amado, cuando dimos y recibimos un primer beso: quedo embelesado, deseoso de más; sediento de esa agua, siempre dominado por una sed que no se sacia.
