Andrew Chubb plays Philip Glass - 'Opening' from Glassworks

[SOUTHTEXASDEATHRIDE1]

This music sends me insane but in a good way. As much i love the sound of pplause after an excellent performance, it just sounded so sharp compared to the piano!

[Kazeu]

For several videos I saw about people playing this piece, this is the most succesfull, playing and reproducing the feeling of a Glass's piece, it's not always the case, respect for that

[stage1978]

The Best perfomance!!!! Thank you.

[douglassmcann]

how andrew can actually bring something new to this masterpiece speaks to the artistry necessary to the virtuoso as it is the composer...

both intellectual and emotionally desparate!!!

bravo

douglas

the kind of music where i actually experience the shiver, which is a good thing, and why i became a musician

[jillby99]

geez. eveeryones a critic. Beautiful Andrew.

[Jake2336]

this is really good but the sound is weird. it almost seems like this is dubbed over - the piano sounds SUPER clean in a recital hall when there aren't any mikes on the actual piano (maybe there are and I just can't see it). it also sounds like it switches out from live time to recorded time at 25-26 seconds. : /

EITHER WAY, gorgeous piece!! : )

[gliistian]

really excellent playing, but wrong around 2:08 min. Third part (B flat7 chord; right hand; as - d instead of d - as!) Sorry but you played it in a wrong order. just a small note.

[rainingautumn]

Nothing more to say as !!!Excelent playing!!!!

[datimpster]

Very nice!

[amyleeluvr]

The way you play the piece sounds like a stuck version of the original, which is a good thing because it really brings out the melody and it really focuses the piece on the three on two rhythms that Phillip Glass wanted in the piece by writing triplets over normal eighth notes grouped into twos. NICE WORK!!

[schoful]

One of the best performances I've ever heard of this wonderful piece of music. Thank you for sharing this to us.

[MoaiMaea]

You’re welcome :B

Love the ending - smooth, just right.

Wonderful music and performance; Glassworks was my first taste of minimalism and still my favourite, I never tire of it.

[SebazeroX]

esto fue una gran inspiracion

[whatakindman]

No doubts. Glass is legend.

[jpascalj]

nice.

[DL2211]

What would we do without Glass? his music makes me feel like i am not here! it allows me to dream, unlike the majority of music his minimalist style doesnt get bogged down in the detail and gives an overall mood, which allows the audience to appreciate it fully! Philip Glass is a LEGEND!!!

[Nicowijn]

you play the rythm so good

i really love it (but maybe let it sound a bit more dreamy, that sounds also beautiful

[proman84]

From the first notes I could tell that yours was among the absolute best versions of this piece. Maybe because you are composer yourself but you understand the rhytm of this piece and play it a lot closer to how Mr. Glass himself plays it. It really benefits a lot from restraint and most performers don't quite understand it.

[c0c0dabaddest]

it sounds just like Glass's actual piece to me.absolutely excellent job.

[4closuRe]

I admit, I have little idea what the other gentleman / lady is referring to. She's probably right, but I think it sounds fantastic just the same, one of the best versions I've heard of my favourite glass piece. Well done on all the effort it takes to learn something like this. Bravo

I've always been a fan of your Glass interpretations.. OK look, you are in a better position than I am to convince Chester Music to publish Etudes Vol. 1 Nos. 1-10!!!!! I NEED to play them! anyways great playing, you brought out all the right notes and kept a steady floe to the piece. You could've done more with the overall dynamics, it felt too consistent (mp-mf).. for example after the "chorus" (if you will) the g minor part before repeating from beginning, could've been softer. Greatwork!
