philip glass: madrush part 2

[Mangafee1]

seems to me as if that guy likes bondage...? at least she plays pretty good , naa scratch that - she plays WONDERFUL ♥

[kinkmaster100]

2:51 is the best part of this particular version of the song if you know what i mean :))

[2Durr]

Very masonic

[TheHumanistin]

@2Durr Why?

[DivaOfDrama]

she plays with passion!

[911nanothermite]

Beautiful dialogue ! Thank you both !

[illiamification]

worst dance ever

[xxblabla75xx]

I'd much rather have been watching the intense concentration on Branka Parlic's face for the first 4 minutes, rather than some douchebag play around with toilet paper!

If her musical talent wasn't so exceptionally powerful, he could've quite easily ruined it for me...

[tjk355]

im guessing the dance is for those with short attention spans.

[yesoroui]

bravo!!!!!!!!!!

[thewho30rb]

I think this is the most amount of mistakes I've heard Branka do in one song (on youtube), but considered there's like 2 or 3 in a 20 minute piece, pretty damn amazing I'd say. I've always liked both her interpretation and Glass' original (when he plays it). He always throws so much, well, Mad Rushing into it, it really lives up to the title. Parlic makes it a much more delicate and beautiful piece. Different, but both amazing.

[iant88888888]

Whats with the andrex advert? It made her add a key at 2:25

[122Skibum]

I'm pretty sure that Philip Glass wrote this piece for a play based on Frank Kafka's novel, Metamorphosis, which is a story about a man that turns into a bug; this could explain why there is a random dude dancing around, but to be honest I don't think the dancer gives the piece any justice.

[EriktheNog]

What song? I hear no song here. No words = no song.

[tbrowning11]

@EriktheNog i feel bad for you and your ignorance

[PauloCorrea01]

@tbrowning11 Actually...He's right dude xD a song must have lyrics, this is not a song but a music piece...and such a beautiful piece..

[tbrowning11]

@PauloCorrea01 I guess I am the ignorant one.

[yesimstuntdude]

@PauloCorrea01 No, a song is a musical piece. The end. Lyrics or no lyrics. The end.

[PauloCorrea01]

@yesimstuntdude Nop xD Well... maybe if u consider it in another way...But I prefer to call it piece

[yesimstuntdude]

@PauloCorrea01 So all you can say is "Nope?" Well, at least you *sort of* admitted I'm right, so I can't deduct points from you for that.

[UDRF]

@yesimstuntdude A song is a song because it has singing. Look it up on webster . com dictionary.

[ettuTkciN]

@EriktheNog Shush, you're making me look stupid ;)

[10freekie2]

whahah that dansing guy is soooooooo gay XD stupid

[ettuTkciN]

I never even noticed really, when I listen to music on YouTube I rarely watch the video. Love this song!

[ander2365]

i love this concert, i love this woman, and i love that there's no noise applause.

[applepotamous1]

haha i was listening to this not looking at the video and never noticed the dancer, this piece is amazing on its own

[Seeffu]

a bit sad that this is in two parts but this woman plays so well that i just have to listen to this

[SonoraVelsa]

I have listened to this piece countless times but never watched the video, didnt feel a need to, so I even didnt know there was a guy "dancing".

[pintozazz]

How can people dislike this? About 200 of the views of this video are by me alone.

[Karmasaque]

oh yes totally agree. There is nothing related between the superficial dance and the deep song of phillip glass...

[greener59]

The attempt at dancing spoiled the video. Someone should have kicked the bloke off the stage.

[kaivalya4]

Just feel it . . . !

[derfindus]

This piece of music is so beautiful: Branka Parlic plays it fantastic, maybe better then the original.

[Rheesoman]

this peice makes me meditive.

[Melchior119]

This interpetation I find the best there is. Still she makes the tyniest mistakes... Funny but I don't care about them at all because she really put's emotion in the piece. Gives me the shivers!

[caffreye]

maybe I'm uncultured... but the dancer wasn't dancing. It didn't look like dancing. He was caught in a bunch of tapes trying to get untangled?

also, beautiful, beautiful beautiful

[christinaissoneat]

yeah I def agree, she plays so beautiful I would way rather watch her play then see the dancer.. something about him I didnt like .. (maybe its the facial expression like someone mentioned...)

Simple is nice.

[heartagram021]

i liked part 1 better where the focus was just on the pianist. not so into this dancer... but god is this a gorgeous piece! love.

[dummy222]

yea the dancer sucked

[TheMBulls]

amazing ! I´m gonna try to play it

[sawyer273]

This is an amazing piece. I also enjoyed the dancer's movement. His facial expression, doesn't fit, though.

[violinundviola]

The piece is not sad but it makes me feel that crying would be a good thing.

[s1chala]

Agreed. This piece did not need his prancing. Good God Parlic is stunning.

[gaiamystic]

disagreed. the dance has profound implications as i see it.

[MichaelOrr1984]

I'm guessing that they thought no one would enjoy just listening to the piano because the song is quite repetitive. So they tried to spice it up abit with some dancing. Didn't quite work....

[valpofan]

the repetitiveness is the point of minimalism. its a style some people like. i personally think that it is great.

[MichaelOrr1984]

I totally agree - I too love the style. Every night when it's bedtime I put on Phillip Glass. I'm just trying to figure out why they put the dancer in there!

[amusicianinparis]

Yeah, make it simple.

[retrocareermelted]

i would be very surprised to find out he's straight. I know that sounds awfully conservative of me but I can't deny it. He reminds me of all my gay friends in some bizzare way.

[hasbroke]

can i eat him?

[DanyelHawkes]

gay or not. He llooks out of place and made me turn away from the screen for the most part of the vid....just suuuch a cheezy detail argh...

[stamie446827]

This man really annoys me.

[cfodera]

I can appreciate the interpretative dance, however, I'd enjoy it more without.

It takes away from us trying to watch the piano!

[martoss15]

I support interpretative dances, but this honestly didn't give anything back to the song...

[abyssquick]

yeah, it's just awkward. it distracts from the enthralling imagery the song is intended to elicit in the listener.

[vgfvcpcba]

minute 4:28 WOOOOOOW

[crishox]

that guy made me feel embarrased the whole song, damn it!

[danasus]

what is that batty geezer doing? It does not fit the music! It looks retarded lol

[buddiha]

whenever seein sth retarded,say it's arts and close ur eyes to listen LOL

[RamenMonster09]

i agree about Mr. Gay McGayman!!! what was he DOING???

[Carlo1Brito]

That girl to her left is kind of creepy.

[pegalys]

That little girl makes sure that this difficult piece is not interupted by the necessity to turn the pages. If you have ever seen the score of this type of music you would realize how hard it is to follow, and make sure she does not mess up a perfect performance.

[Tchaikovsky31]

great interpreter of human anguish. Simply amazing!

[zillyberlin]

the dance looks to me too artificial

[dwarfsmaster]

I think he did good..love the music

[dismallyx]

i could do without Mr Gay McGayman.

[SpAzTiCFiSh]

how can you tell hes gay?

[timkick]

he dances about like a fairy.

[marrieter08]

the dance has something to do with the music right?

[mmmcupatea]

Thanks for uploading this. I enjoy it to the core.

[dimisdas]

Agree. gay

[mountainwoodnils]

the dancer is gayer than gayness can get ;)

[007firefox]

fuck me MARTINWOODNILS this dancer really defies gaynes bounderies. his dancing is classyfied as SUPER GAY

[Noxianfiend]

the only judgemtn i can come to is that he's a beautiful dancer

[kadinhi]

He is indeed. I'd ask him out at the drop of a hat.

[XmegaPresident]

She is amazing at playing Philip Glass!!!

[rodion86]

j'aime la danse aussi ... but in this case the dancer was totally useless

[cesarfreak]

j'aime pas la dance means I DON'T like the dance =).

[marioaran]

I agree, the dance really didn't seem to fit the music, and it was just kind of wierd...

[andyib632]

brilliant

[morgun1911]

j'adore la musique mais j'aime pas la dance ^^

[VerCouter]

Yeah:D

And Branka Perlic plays awesum(A)

[aleiy252]

That is one of the most amazing things I have seen or heard. thank you. I love Philip Glass!!

[samopdrift]

One of Phil Glass's best works brilliantly performed.

Thank you for posting this video! Sam

[1Chrisfran]

Philip Glass and this pianist awesome renditions. Thank you so much for the videos.

[Krexel]

Composed in 1981 on the occasion of the Dalai Lama's visit to New York City, its first performance was given by the composer, himself a devout Buhddist, on the organ while the Lama entered the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Later, when it was used by choreographer Lucinda Childs (who had been an important collaborator and performer in Glass's first opera Einstein on the Beach in 1976), the music was given the title of the dance it accompanied, Mad Rush.

[manbartlett]

thanks for the info! this is one of my all time favorite works--nice to know its history.

[ltorgon]

Beautiful and creative....

[Coufu]

What kind of dancing style is that?

[swarmnet]

Sublime interpretation of Philip Glass....
