wow. just rounded out a set of 'metamorphosis' from 5 different sources, with this being the 6th. wow. i know this isn't from that set by name, but did you see 7:16? wow.
even if glass' music isn't your thing, this is an extremely interesting documentary. The idea that people would throw eggs and yell in protest is remarkable given what's being played these days. It's sad how everything that's new and innovative has a period of rejection before being embraced.. But I think that things are changing at least as far as music goes, because we are now exposed to such diversity even in popular music that people are more used to adapting to new music
merci beaucoup for the posting of this documentary.
;)
Excellent stuff.
There are many negative comments regarding Glass' music on youtube. Perhaps if those who speak negatively of Philip's music watched this documentary, they may, at least, understand it a little more (even if they still don't enjoy it).
Wow. That piece is EXHAUSTING to listen to. I can only imagine what it is like to play! I felt myself tensing while they looked very relaxed. I think I saw that a new GLASS documentary is coming to theaters soon...
The greatest opera by the greatest composer in history.

I saw this stuff when I was 11 in '76. I've been hooked ever since.
A lot of my friends don't care for it preferring Judas priest and Whitesnake.
That's their loss because this stuff is truly transcendental. It can take you to another place outside of the prosaic quotidian world.
Thanks for posting, had not seen this since it was on terrestrial in the early '80s.

Later on she'll continue with "La Do Mi Re Mi" and other terms from the Do Re Mi sequence (if not variations like Si or Me)
