Philip Glass & The Philip Glass Ensemble - Floe (Glassworks) @ Vilnius

[@roberthoffhines5419]

40 years on, and it still scratches an itch no one else can. Probably the one true genius out of the "minimalist" crowd of the 70s-80s. (yes, among other truly excellent composers imho) His stuff just freakin' works.

[@portaccio]

The discipline needed to perform this is nothing short of breathtaking.

[@NorthLoftier]

Thank you for your insights, Sir. William Shakespeare.

[@janvaughan1331]

I know. Right? I was just saying, "This is LIVE!" "I'm watching them do this LIVE!"

[@LastV8Interceptors]

I love philip glass so much, for among other things, forcing us to accept that modern and avante garde music can be moving, beautiful, deep, meaningful

[@jamesanthony5681]

Forcing us? Shouldn't that just come natural?

[@verbalkint9661]

I feel every atom in me listening to this. Like Spring came and even the infinitesimal specks of life are coming into the light to play. It is a fucking celebration of life. First Planck second after the Big Bang.

[@funkdungus839]

I love your perspective!

J'adore voir Glass jouer sa musique. Toujours très calme, très posé, très simple. Et quand on voit le résultat sonore d'une très grande partie de ce qu'il a produit, on ne peut qu'être totalement admiratif, et le remercier chaleureusement du bonheur immense qu'il nous procure

[@ninagnes4835]

Listening to this feels like smiling through tears. Touching and absolutelly beautiful 🤍

[@dk2703]

The atmosphere, the flow of human voice which doesn't insist on drawing words from any particular language, the sounds, the noises, the flow in shape of free energy passing through, the underlying melodies... One can find themselves looking up and being surrounded by all that chaotic energy from the universe represented in this piece. One can scream everything they wanted, every emotion, every frustration, every spark of joy into all that energy and it would accept it in its everlasting, overwhelming power and beauty.

[@willemvandeursen3105]

Yes, the sound of the Cosmos!

[@vap0rtranz]

The love of my life took me to one of Glass' concerts, and I cried during the pieces that he played. Magnificent music! Ya either love it or hate it.

[@KayAmooty433]

I saw Glass's Ensemble perform this piece several times in the early 80s. Unforgettable.

[@astroanthropoid9994]

There are no words to describe how wonderful I find this!

[@geokramer1711]

I like to believe that this is what life feels like to the healthy.

[@LastV8Interceptors]

It is how it feels to the young in spring.

@geokramer: *Kennen Sie: Dr. Joe Dispenza oder Kurt Tepperwein?*

[@richardklein6806]

The fact that this is taking place in Vilnius must mean something special to him as that is where Philip Glass's father hails from.

[@miguelangelmendezcorreia5033]

Bach y Philip Glass son los que mejor expresan el sonido de todo el cosmos, el sentir profundo de la inigualable creación...

[@happygolucky1184]

Genius performance by all involved.

[@basifabode6486]

Genius, indeed!

[@NorthLoftier]

Absolutely. Genius is a balance work and usage of everything we could find in ourselves to achieve extraordinariness. This is seems like that team work, but in external.

[@jamcollins6095]

this melted my ears

Thank you for uploading, there are just two versions of this piece with vocalist, are a jewel. Thanks so much!! 🙏

[@oc2phish07]

[@sandycarlson]

My family experienced this in person. Yeah. So grateful to Glass and the Ensemble.

[@keithjackson534]

I've heard the recorded version many times, and love seeing it performed live.

[@wattsupdog98]

[@Onionbaron]

I use this record (vinyl) for my crash recovery from a bad day... I just instantly levitate and fly, into my mind... Singing this... That is beyond mastery!

[@kellystevens6464]

That is so great! The voice, especially at the end. Beautiful!

[@naomiplimmer6325]

Such a lovely full sound, takes you anywhere.

[@juandapena1429]

A huge responsibility with Glass at the keyboard....but wonderful as always

[@havaianassousa1541]

This sounds very much like a series sound with a suspense, mystery, sci-fi style I was really blown away by this song, I can't describe my feeling when I hear it.

[@GlorpCS]

This is a masterpiece and should of been in interstellar

[@tyrannographicsco.2883]

Here’s the funny thing…this is what Hans Zimmer got the idea from. It’s literally the same exact melody and this song was written in the 70s. Phillip Glass is the master, you should really explore him.

[@Mightypoo007]

Not everything has to be catered to modern references. Let the piece stand on its own.

Thank You Thank You. Wonderful to see Mr. Glass do an older work.

[@chrisburke18]

There is no substitute for listening to the actual Ensemble.

[@kinbotest]

I've listened to this many times before now, but somehow to see it performed live seems almost supernatural.

[@pablobryno4622]

This is the musical rappresentation of my life. I'm arrived at 4.00 min of my life, few seconds before the rebirth (I deeply hope).

[@naomiplimmer6325]

Just wonderful.

[@ethanhill9460]

The repetition summons drone of industrial mass production. The resultant trance clears my mind and opens my inner ear. The music clears wax. I appreciate the silence between notes and the notes in GLASS's compositions. That might sum his art. I hear the silence between notes as well as the notes played. MONK the pianist and OLATUNJI the drummer do likewise for my ear.

[@anthonyfrazzini7199]

Beyond magical, intelligent, human and musically perfect.. I must have an OCD because I watch this vid over and over again... it's so beautiful to me.

Philip Glass and Hans Zimmer, the best I've heard by far

[@py_a_thon]

Minimalism itself is a crazy concept. You remove all of the fluff and try to find a greater truth. Sometimes you succeed.

[@py_a_thon]

The soundtrack for Sherlock Holmes, by Hans Zimmer is absurdly underrated imo. That is masterfully crafted music, in many forms.

[@tartouf2]

موسيقى فيليب جلاس لها جوّها الخاص ، حيث تتركك في حيرة من أمرك و إرتباك تام ، تضعك في غرفة سوداء جوفاء ، تخترق جداراتها و حدودها لتسافر بعيدا عن الواقع ، تضعك في حالة من اللا وعي. المجال الموسيقي الذي طورّه جلاس هو المصطلح الموسيقي المسمى بــ ” المينيمالزم ” أي البساطة ، جلاس لم يعجبه المصطلح كثيرا ، وفضّل أن يسمّيه ” موسيقى تكرار الهياكل ” ، و يقول البعض بأنه لا يوجد إنتاج بسيط لفيليب جلاس حتى الأن ، خلال مسيرته الفنية ، على الرغم من أن كثير من أعماله في البداية ، مليئة بالبساطة ، و التكرارات الموسيقيّة الأنيقة. قد تكون البساطة التي يتحدثون عنها تكمن في الإستماع لها ، و الشعور المصاحب والكلمات المُرسلة ، لا أثناء تأليفه لها . تحوي أعماله الموسيقية للنصوص ﺍﻟﺸﻌﺮﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﻐﻨﺎﺓ ﻛﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﻗﻠﻴﻠﺔ ﻭﻣﻜﺮﺭﺓ، ﻗﻠﻴﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻷﻓﻜﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻠﺤﻨﻴﺔ، ﻭﻛﺜﻴﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺯﻳﻊ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﺳﻴﻘﻲ، ﻓﺎﻟﺮﺅﻳﺔ لديه ﺃﻋﻤﻖ ﺑﻜﺜﻴﺮ ﻣﻤﺎ ﺗﺒﺪﻭ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ .

[@blacksmith8844]

What happened to the pacing? The piece doesn't "flow" nearly as well at this slow of a tempo (no pun intended). Yes, the Dora Ohrenstein version was better by far.

[@Sebastian37s]

jim jones Totally agree. Dora's was better by far. This is dead on arrival ;)

[@HARTYNMUGHES]

Eduardo González it takes an unbelievable amount of vocal dexterity and discipline to deliver a vocal like Dora's. You're not going to find a Dora on every continent. Cut her some slack, still great to see this given a live airing.

[@CitizenKang]

So true. This performance takes so much vocal dexterity and strength. Only the ignorant would criticize.

[@mrsticker2]

I read these comments and was ready to pounce on who those would dare to put down this performance. Then I listened to it... and Dora was WAY better. However, I saw PGE perform Music in 12 Parts with this same singer (I don't know her name) and she was amazing. So maybe this performance of Floe was just an off night... a very off night.
