Simeon ten Holt - Canto Ostinato for two pianos and two marimbas

[@Марина-и5х9к]

Узнала об этой композиции из лекции А. Виленской. Как же это красиво! Волшебная музыка… Из светлого, доброго, хрупкого мира. Из прошлого. И, правда, хочется плакать.

[@kimTier]

и я от туда пришла )))

[@wendyboezer1017]

We played a few minutes of this song at the beginning and at the end of my dad's funeral last week. It will forever be special.

[@ElenaLivano]

Гениальная музыка. Всё внутри оживает и хочется танцевать. Волшебные звуки!

Anyone here in 2020? This is realy good for corona-anxiety!

[@johnmay2786]

One of my all time favourites, I first heard it in the open air at Hoge Veluwe. a national park in the Netherlands. My wife and I were walking through some woods when this wonderful sound came to us on the breeze, we were drawn towards the source and we came across a special performance - never to be forgotten!

[@cellomaan]

@@johnmay2786 That must have been amazing. I was actualy thinking about woods when i heard it :)

[@TheLibraryOfEmotions]

I'm here in 2021, it's my first time listening to it. And I couldn't stop crying. I feel that it could talk to me deeply.

Canto Ostinato allows one to stop rushing through the day, to sit down still until realizing the beauty of being alive. Such a wonderful music!

Слушала эту запись еще до ковидных времен.. Сейчас мир так поменялся, кажется, что большинство сошло с ума. Вдруг снова наткнулась, прямо частица из нормального мира и времени, хочется плакать.

[@Gregory72818]

Я, наверное, понимаю вас. Хотя сам я узнал о "Canto" относительно недавно, благодаря книге Настасьи Хрущёвой, она - эта музыка - неизменно напоминает мне о прошлом. Почему-то я вспоминаю дорогу в школу, зелёные гаражи для лодок, освещённые натриевой лампой, затем службу в провинциальном городе, высокие окна военного госпиталя, скучную дорогу домой, встречи с друзьями в дешёвом кафе, наивные разговоры. Всё это было так недавно, да и я не старик, чтоб с таким трепетом вспоминать о прошлом, но теперь и гаражи, и лампа, и разговоры кажутся мне совсем другими. Быть может, такова природа ностальгии, но мне кажется, будто мы потеряли что-то важное и продолжаем терять каждый день. Что-то достойное сожаления. Мне нравится именно эта версия, с двумя маримбами. Их глухие отзвуки так хорошо сочетаются с главным чувством "Canto", с этой отстранённой сентиментальностью. Берегите себя.

[@dansmister]

I think Autoplay likes me. This is an unexpected gift. Thank you.

[@TheLibraryOfEmotions]

I can't stop crying for 20 minutes, it could communicate to me deeply.

This kind of 'minimalist' music would drive most people I know crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't crazy for loving this:)

[@bledaplayer908]

This is not minimalist music, it is played with 8 hands ( four pianos ) and the changes in the music are light but they are well. Nobody is crazy while listening this music, just kind of people who search peace. Try to listening this a sunday evening in your sofa with a bolls and a little cigario, you will be fine!

My heart moves with this music.. This music is like the heartbeat of life.

[@susanadelatorre166]

What a good description!. I agree with you 👍🙏. Best regards and beautiful life 🌹

[@cellomaan]

I actualy just heard this music first time to day. My first thought was exacly the same! This is the sound of life it self. Its the most magical music i have ever heard. I heard it all while driving. And after the last note I was completely silent in almost an hour. It literaly felt like my life was changed for ever. Life is like a Beautiful farytale if we want it to be. Sorry for the bad spelling. I just had to get it out.

[@shellyspiano]

Actually it goes even beyond the heartbeat - that 5/4 with its ethereal joyous melodies takes us higher...IMHO

[@shellyspiano]

@@cellomaan INdeed - sound of life incorporates the heartbeat and the essence of life which is an underlying vibration, manifested here in the interactive sound and melodies of piano and marimba.

[@CatKirillova]

я тоже узнала об этом композиторе из лекции Анны Виленской. Я прослушала всю композицию и разревелась. Это так красиво, так жизнеутверждающе, что даже не знаю, что бы еще написать. Благодарю Анну за такое открытие.

[@CH3CH2OCH2CH3net]

Your selection of stone paintings to go with this music is SUPERB! I can’t think of anything which fits the music better. Captivating music, deceptively simple - but as anybody knows who has played this kind of music, its completely exposed textures are NOT easy to bring off. I love this video.

[@CH3CH2OCH2CH3net]

Want to add: this is one of the very best KZbin videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This was a real gift.

I think the seventh version I've heard... three of them live.... and this one is I think my favorite. Desire flowering and surrendering at the same time..... Soft, strong, subtle, sweet, silencing, singing....fits perfectly with the story of the stones - stunning.

[@MegaCirse]

This sound architecture amazes me - Of all the minimalist compositions that I have heard (incl. Reich, Cage, Adams and Part) it is for me the most surprising and the most joyful in contact with nature in its "creativity". I imagined the completion of the growth of a mature oak (as if the music was the story of a young tree growing to fullness) A sonic marvel !
