Philip Glass - String Quartet No. 3 "Mishima" , VI

[@patrickmiller3127]

I got married 2 years ago tomorrow, and shortly after I had proposed to my then girlfriend I asked her what she wanted to walk down the aisle to. She immediately said Philip Glass Mishima. I hadn’t heard it at that point, so I go on youtube and this is the first video that pops up. Within 20 seconds I’m crying. Hearing this as the doors to the chapel opened and my wife started to walk down the aisle is one of the most incredible moments of my life, and I continuously come back to your recording. Thank you for a beautiful performance, and I hope one day I get to perform this incredible piece.

[@PavelDGromnic]

You are so lucky to have a life in the arts. I was in medicine, but misplaced there. May this piece and all of Mr. Glass's music be with you.

This piece is so beautiful that it hurts.

The minimalist repetition works in this piece - when the slight changes come they are intensely beautiful

[@NormAppleton]

This is 3 hours long? I better pack a lunch.

[@ShadowDragon_616]

I know right?! Even the slight changes when someones playing a lot of the same notes and then changes to a slightly different note is somehow SO beautiful!

[@thethikboy]

@@ShadowDragon_616 I think it works in this case. There's actually a melody singing over the sawing.

[@ShadowDragon_616]

@@thethikboy It definitely works! Because the piece is so repetitive, a slight change in something that is repeating is very noticeable, and in this case, very pretty

[@chicobicalho5621]

Recently I was struck by the thought that some of the greatest artists of the past fifty years are still alive and very close in age; the painter David Hockney, the sculptor Richard Serra, the photographer Lee Friedlander, the architect Frenk Gehry, and the musician Philip Glass.

[@jpcolindesign517]

The music of Philip Glass transcends time and space. It captures the essence of the universe. It moves me deeply and completely. The world would have suffered a great loss had it never been composed. Be well and Peace Out.

I usually listen to random playlists of instrumental music while reading. This was the piece that was playing when I was finishing "Jane Eyre" and I'll never forget about it or the book. It felt so perfect at that moment. There is something so sweet in the strings and now I can't listen to it without picturing two people rushing to embrace one another after a long time apart.

[@Eorzat]

Have you listened to the Kronos Quartet's version? They are the original performers whose recording was used in Mishima. In my opinion, their rendition is far more controlled and "precise" not to mention that they bring out a very important nuance that this quarter fails to deliver. When the violins start playing the sixteenth notes, the main theme is echoed within that. Unfortunately, I can't really hear that with this quartet, and it's just a deal-breaker for me

[@yoruneko34]

Kronos Quartet is hard to beat that's for sure

[@pascalev]

@@Eorzat absolutely agree with you.

[@clovis86]

@@Eorzat I love the Kronos quartet version, and the specifics you mention, but the tone of this one is different and very pleasing to my ear. I like both really, but its also nice to see a well recorded live performance with video.

Un des meilleurs moments des quatuors de Glass. Le type de musique que tu n'oublies jamais de toute ta vie. Merci pour ce partage magnifique !

[@alexanderrutland6349]

I studied Music and Composition at University. I listened to Glass avidly throughout those years. It was a both happy and fun time, but also one full of pain and personal growth. His music brings me great nostalgia for those times. I think for me it captures the essence of what I realised in that time, that life has no absolute truths. It is so easy all the time to think each and every moment is one leading up to some greater event, as we can’t quite touch the beauty present in those moments.

[@hankburgers]

Bob’s Burgers, right in the damn feels.

[@ericasencio9515]

I've heard many versions of this, but this is by far my favorite. I've been going through a lot lately. It feels like life has just been stepping on me for a while, but this brings me peace. It keeps me hopeful and helps me to push back against any negativity in my life. The therapeutic value of this video absolutely cannot be denied. Thank you so much. I look forward to enjoying more of your music.

This song is life. So many rotating scenes, one over the next and several under and beside. Tragic beauty and the hideous joy. Mania and a sweeping low. Its wings and the breaking of them. Its liberty and imprisonment. It's a crucifixion on the tree of enlightenment. And it makes me gladly cry every single time.

This music makes me cry. It feels like an end. A bittersweet, vibrant departure from everything that life has to offer. Never to be seen, heard, or felt again.

[@Noah-zq8cb]

Bro you perfectly captured what I feel when I hear this song by your words. Philip Glass and Mishima are the best artists of all time.

[@Shushpo]

​@@Noah-zq8cb Yeah. I keep on returning to this piece time and time again. I stumbled upon "Mishima: life in Four Chapters" during the most turbulent time of my life. My country wages war, I left my home and abandoned my former life. I live completely alone and all my internal problems spilled out into the open since two of the pillars - company of the people that are close to you, and belief in humanity are no longer there to support the weight. I am trying to rebuild myself, to find myself anew. It's hard. This music is perfect for the situation where you're sitting in the ruins of yourself, you see the beautiful sun, but you're not quite sure if it's dawn or dusk. Life is tragic. And sometimes, beautiful.

[@Noah-zq8cb]

@@Shushpo I fully understand what you mean bro. Hope everything goes well for you my man. Don’t ever stop listening to Philip Glass or reading Mishima, as they are a daily reminder of the duality of tragic and beauty, and a good companion in lonely times as well.

Glass is accessible yet artistic to the nth degree. Raga provides rhythm in his work. His techniques are top shelf. He's of the momemt - Symphony 1, based on music by David Bowie and Brian Eno, was great art and brilliant promotion. He's historic - without him the western art music tradition might had died with E.
