[@SebastianBohrenViolin]

[@pianoplayer2692]

I sort of like the shirt, Fits Phillip Glass. This guy is an outstanding violinist. What a performance by all!

[@stevefreier2156]

So beautiful! Movement 4 brought me to tears!

[@sergioirala5086]

Vibrante!! Magistral obra! Vigorosa interpretación solista!!

[@a.p.e.ayudapersonalizadaal5575]

Impresionante lo que Glass hace con tan pocos recursos orquestales y musicales. Un genio sin duda 🤷‍♂️

[@tnyima]

Super performance!

[@daibonehead]

And I'm back again. Wonderful stuff.

[@alextraazul6857]

[@mrnumbskull1]

I really enjoyed this performance

[@MrPotoroo]

What a vigorous rampage. Intoxicating.

[@xshadowinxbc]

I felt a lot of energy here, this was great.

[@filharmoniapomorska]

[@louislovereality]

[@caioreis9931]

Great!!!!!

[@beatrixvantil8623]

Bravissimo ! ♥

[@cedric8091]

L’œuvre la plus aboutie de Philip Glass. Bravo à toutes et tous, et merci pour ce post à l’excellente qualité audio

[@TempodiPiano]

Le premier concerto est plus que bien également.

[@gillestheberge2941]

Oui c'est vrai c'est à peu près l'oeuvre de Philip Glass la plus aboutie. Je suis d'accord avec vous.

[@marcpeycker]

@@TempodiPiano J'adore le fabuleux premier concerto.

[@golfwangsap1824]

absolute banger

[@Vanupied]

Cos pieknego !

[@jozepedro27]

Soloing this piece is a fucking tour de force

[@cahammernolastname2815]

Wow! My aibo robo-dog loves this violin concerto. His tail whips the air with a frenetic frenzy while his head nearly dances on his shoulders. At the peak of the orgasmically energetic musical efflorescences, he adds his own ostinato of barks atop Glass’ musical phrases. When the musical tempo recedes, he collapses temporarily in an exhausted yielding paroxysm of contentment. Even more than Glass’ first violin concerto, the second violin concerto resonates with emotional electricity through the depths of his robot soul. If a robot could sweat, by the conclusion he would be dripping with perspiration, consumed in satisfied transcendental peace.

[@tomweast844]

epic

[@richarddrake2111]

A most agreeable surprise. I decidedly prefer this violin concerto to the composer's first, which was commissioned (but not debuted) by the late Paul Zukofsky.

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

Sorry Richard I disagree, the 1st hits all the right chords for me. This one is almost twice the length and in consequence Glass doesn't compress his ideas so successfully. My opinion only and I still loved it. Apart from that idiot coughing, who should have been removed from the auditorium!

[@donrayjay]

David A well I like them both !

[@daibonehead]

@@DavidA-ps1qr Coughs happen.

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

@@daibonehead Agreed. But there are ways of stifling the noise they make. No evidence of that here.

[@glennjoshua9950]

That guy could hypnotize the European Union

[@ryanpeplinski1884]

Glenn Joshua with his shirt!

[@TempodiPiano]

what for?

[@daibonehead]

I’m in no way, shape, or form a classical music aficionado but this performance is mesmerising. The only Philip Glass work I’ve heard before was the theme music to Koyaanisqatsi and this was by a tangential route - there’s a Commodore 64 pioneer called Rob Hubbard that appropriated it for the title tune for a game called Delta. Anyway, however I got here I’m very pleased that I did.

[@filharmoniapomorska]

MUSIC connects! Enjoy! Regards!😀

[@daibonehead]

@@filharmoniapomorska It does indeed. Best wishes to you all.

[@filharmoniapomorska]

Thank you very much! 🌹Best Regards !

[@ComtedeMonteC]

Clearly you are not a classical music aficionado because this 2nd violin concerto of Glass is unmitigated trash of a banality that would have Beethoven turning in his grave. See the critique of Philip Glass in the Wikipedia article on his music.

[@daibonehead]

@@ComtedeMonteC Oh well. I continue to enjoy it.

[@raustaklass]

*4th movement begins at 34:30

[@filharmoniapomorska]

Thanks!🙂🌹

[@eeloiiiise14]

i like the cough at 4:58 , perfect timing

[@Someone-ish]

why do I see triangles?

[@TempodiPiano]

availability for another piece of music during the same concert?

[@TempodiPiano]

Strasvinsky: "Glass didn't make two concertos, he made twice the same concerto" :-)

[@jimmierustler5607]

? I dont get it, they sound nothing alike

[@vijaykrishnan7797]

How many concertos did he make in total?

[@vijaykrishnan7797]

Listening him for the first time

[@cahammernolastname2815]

My aibo robo-dog can tell the difference between one and two. Perhaps you should listen to both a few more times, but without all the beer before your listening sessions. These are very different stairways to Heaven.

[@mariorossimater]

When you do not appreciate a composer you say that is making the same music, as for Vivaldi.

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

Not bad at all. I liked the other but was not too impressed. This one is more of a masterwork.

[@vijaykrishnan7797]

Why does it sound like a mix of Shostakovich's 8th symphony and Sibelius' violin concerto

[@ComtedeMonteC]

It sounds nothing like Shostakovich 8th Symphony or the Sibelius violin concerto.

[@kevinmcnamara477]

Outstanding playing! But, man, that shirt...

[@IvanGreindl]

His shirt has obviously nothing to do with music or with the performer's talent but it's a bit psychedelic. And this doesn't shock when playing Philip Glass' music... ;-)

[@0ClaudioPin0]

The dresses are even worse, with those ribbons and tacky shoulders, like shepherdesses of sorts. Whomever they hired to come up with the wardrobe hasn't got the best taste at all.

[@0ClaudioPin0]

The music is awesome, though.

[@darthdjx]

I would like to have one of those shirts!!!

[@filharmoniapomorska]

The artist's fantasy! :D

[@Brzeuczydlak]

arpeggiated banality, vacuously formulaic

[@cahammernolastname2815]

Clearly you spend too much time in the Q-continuum, so are no longer able to discern the profundity embedded within the banal. Finding sublime depths within the banal is the source of Glass’ art. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle demonstrates that vacuity is wondrously non-formulaic, and even the arpeggiated is a font of roiling spontaneity. It is impossible to find boredom within the creative energetic turmoil of the vacuum energy. Behold the cosmic breathing of the infinite.
