kmkrebs discovered 19 months ago- Branka Parlic performs Glassworks by Philip Glass
I've always been fascinated with the music of Philip Glass (who'll be turning 70 at the end of January). While sometimes criticised for his predictability and repetativeness, there are few critics who would not admit his large influence on contemporary American music. This video, while not much to watch, has fairly good quality sound & will serve as an introduction to his music for those of you who aren't familiar with it. Glassworks is perhaps one of his best known compositions. I've always found it a very haunting and nostalgic piece.

- Unlike Henri Lefebvre, we do not think that one fine day music was suddenly catapulted into the role of the central art of the times; we do not think that music, prior to that event, was not already the central art of the times; and we do not think that music is no longer the central art of our times. Music was, is and will always be the avant-garde art form. And that is because the human facility of memory is paradoxically the best at suggesting what the future might be like. Music was, is and will always be the avant-garde art form. And that is because the human facility of memory is paradoxically the best at suggesting what the future might be like. { Bill Brown }

- "Through his operas, his symphonies, his compositions for his own ensemble, and his wide-ranging collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen to David Bowie, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact upon the musical and intellectual life of his times. The operas - "Einstein on the Beach," "Satyagraha," "Akhnaten," and "The Voyage," among many others - play throughout the world's leading houses, and rarely to an empty seat. Glass has written music for experimental theater and for Academy Award-winning motion pictures such as "The Hours" and Martin Scorsese's "Kundun," while "Koyaanisqatsi," his initial filmic landscape with Godfrey Reggio and the Philip Glass Ensemble, may be the most radical and influential mating of sound and vision since "Fantasia." His associations, personal and professional, with leading rock, pop and world music artists date back to the 1960s. Indeed, Glass is the first composer to win a wide, multi-generational audience in the opera house, the concert hall, the dance world, in film and in popular music -- simultaneously." - from http://www.philipglass.com/
