Batagov expresses the entire essence of Philip Glass...two genius.

[@windfishletusdream]

you took Philip Glass's music to a whole new level

[@An-br7hb]

The etude 11 is a perfect fusion about Classical and Minimalist music.

[@barbaraarlen2882]

I have been in love with Philip Glass's music since the 1970's, listening in his loft and at BAM. It is some of the most beautiful music I have ever experienced. It touches all one's emotions.

[@bennemann]

Try Wim Mertens too, it's the closest composer to Philip Glass I know.

[@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.

[@katerynvelasco]

😊😊

[@joebova3558]

Isolated and masklainated from loved ones I am increasingly drawn to Gorecki or Glass whose music seems to sublimely convey mankinds' emerging existential condition. Beneath the tragedy lies beauty and power and hope.

[@user-ic5os5in9o]

Lol I ain’t seeing no light of hope

[@birgitlauten5149]

❤️

[@warrogue1798]

I love Gorecki's Symphony #3. When I am sad, it is quite soothing.

[@soleilnaxe2237]

Somptueux transcendant d'une magnificence

[@baulverhulst]

Philip Glass and Erik Satie and Gurdjieff/Hartmann have my attention these days

[@pie3566]

Excellent interpretation sir!!!

[@afterpeluche8200]

más frágil que el cristal glass expresa la belleza y el dolor del mundo como pocos Gran interpretación!

[@larysayevdokymova-rizk6036]

[@sophieayoul1395]

découvert depuis peu et violemment addictif : une interprétation habitée

[@francoisedesalve153]

[@alastairashford7919]

Absolutely sublime!

[@brannondoolin8654]

Phillip Glass just when I listen you my mindset on the world changes and it just takes me to this beautiful and musically artistic place that I otherwise don't ever have, thank you to you and Anton so much god bless you both. (#12 is my favorite :p)

[@CossacksChampion]

[@daiduongdaviddinh140]

Музыкант с Огромной буквы. Спасибо Вам, Антон за служение Искусству. Высшее наслаждение слушать музыку от Вас. A musician with Huge letters. Thank You, Anton, for service to the Arts. The highest pleasure to listen to music from You.

[@bloosy1771]

I've never heard these pieces before though I love Glass. The first etude of the video (number 11) reminds me in places of 'Another Day of Sun' from La La Land, I wonder if Justin Hurwitz was inspired by Glass.

[@katiamichellerodriguesvida3008]

I love the tempo.

[@joseantonioalonso9904]

Poderosa y enérgica interpretación,se me hace imposible elegir entre Namekawa y Batagov! En directo los vi junto a Glass en Barcelona este año.Inolvidable! Gracias por compartir!

[@bennemann]

Has escuchado a la Branka Parlic tocar Glass? Increíble tambíen.

[@edvaldocortijo5551]

Maravilhoso

[@trentp151]

Well done sir! Great show!

[@acash93]

I love etudes 14 and 16

[@jameslopiccolo1776]

My favorite is 12, so much so that I have it on a loop.

[@user-kk4jb8zd3l]

nice good job

[@urzathehappy72]

I love the chromatic mediants in Etude 15

[@renetorresmorales104]

[@birgitlauten5149]

💕

[@musicfanBRA]

I especially like nrs. 15, 17 and 20.

[@joseantonioalonso9904]

16,18 y 20,pero sin desmerecer a ninguno de los otros etudes.

[@mariomarchitti]

It seems that he has recreated the n15, a very personal interpretation.

[@1954surya]

Ungeahnte Details, sehr gefasst, große Interpretation.

[@124tamir]

stimm dir vollkommen zu. Faszinierend!

[@roxanavasilakis9435]

Music 🎶 lace

[@edzer57]

I like the way Maki Namekawa plays the etudes... very skillful, very impressive. But this is so moving... Prefer Batagov's interpretation, I think.

[@barbaradavis8880]

Agree. Deeper, more soul, more musical.

[@ethanhill9460]

Namekawa is best among interpreters of P. Glass Etudes.

[@povertyspec9651]

They both have their high points. Love them both!

[@Marcusha2001]

15 gives metamorphosis 3 vibes

[@mariorossimater]

I like his interpretation of n10 and 15 whereas for n6 I prefer Gloria Campaner, and for n9 Vikingur Olafsson.

[@lucas40390]

Great performance! I think no one can play Glass better than you, at least from what I've heard. Greetings from Brazil. Love for Russia and russian people!

[@angesoluna]

Hola soy la hija de Angélica Clavijo. Torres

[@bennemann]

Me gustaría entender porque hiciste un comentário tan aleatorio sobre el nombre de tu madre en un video de Philip Glass...

[@angesoluna]

@@bennemann jajajaja fue mi hija, de 6 años, le encanta Philip Glass y no tenía ni idea de que había puesto un comentario

[@bennemann]

@@angesoluna jajajaja qué lista ella! Muestrale Wim Mertens, es lo más próximo de Glass que conozco. Estas son sus mejores canciones: prnt.sc/-y2oQXgW2iwj

[@angesoluna]

@@bennemann gracias por tu recomendación nos encantó 🤗🥰

[@atzonaftaniel4798]

A friend told me to listen to this. Have not heard Glass for ages. I still liked it when he wrote the music for Koyaanisqatsi in 1982 but this is so repetitive and almost no colouration of tone. Got bored, sorry. I am more Liszt guy. Hard to compare with others. I am sure others do not like Liszt. Eventually all is a matter of personal taste.

[@user-ed5tb6hu6g]

Какая неинтересная ,скучная, однообразная музыка. Бедная фактура и гармония. Много шаблонов и однообразия. Нет глубины, много смелости, нет стройности и красоты В музыке создана только видимость пустого драматизма. Этот именитый композитор сочиняет как студент 1 курса училища, которому такое еще можно простить. Все звуки нагромождены в общую кучу. Очень разочарована в "гении".

[@aanagorny]

Отсутсвие глубины и бедность ума здесь показываете лишь вы.

[@dalethomasdewitt]

The emperor has no clothes

[@mikeyn7778]

These are etudes? Give me a break. Prokoviev was the last greatest composer for the piano. From then on everything went downhill.

[@dalethomasdewitt]

Time kills all ideals.
