Konstantin Soukhovetski playing Philip Glass The Hours

[gamefkdup]

This piano piece is actually pretty easy

[JasonZeppelin]

Wow, very fluid!

[jrixtine]

Konstantin, you have the idea, the understanding that the Glassian ostinatos and wandering melody can take us to the borderline place where we are free to consider what we have done and could do to evolve as human beings.

[TheRicecookers]

wonderfull! so sad...

[AppleNBananaFilms]

He's incredible!! I saw him in concert about a year ago he was AMAZING!! But I don't understand his sense of fashion lol

[xcytrynax]

if someone has music sheets for this, please contact with me:)

[plsjtj]

Its not like I know anything about music except being able to appreciate it... This is very uninspirered and stripps a beautiful, thrilling and moving piece of music into sheer sheet music. Shame.

[Jangle2007]

well plsjtj, that's one opinion, and an interesting one. But I disagree. 

The main theme in the movie, however well orchestrated, was carried by the piano. It is not inappropriate to attempt that theme by solo piano and do it justice.

[plsjtj]

I see how you'd say that in response to what my exact wording was. However I can't get enough of, for example, Parlic's performances of the same piece (or any other). It's not the lack of instrumentals, it's the way it is played that does not appeal to my personal taste. Which is indeed only personal :)

[Jangle2007]

I listened to Parlic's performance. I'd have to say that I agree with you...she brought an amazing energy to the music

[xXxLynettexXx]

I can only play the first minute of this lol

[rachelliz284]

he looks like elton john...

[Charmed4Ever1992]

Way TOO fast! It's supposed to have a sense of melancholy! I didn't feel that!

[herpsrmything]

The arpeggio part looses all of its intrigue without the repetition. The way it transforms back into itself after the kind of rolling lull is most of the point of it. It is a little fast for my taste, but still enjoyable to listen to all the same, he is obviously VERY talented.

[Zantetsuken444]

I think he plays this fine. . .and the arpeggio part would seem redundant live. . .perhaps that's why he didn't repeat it

[Abraham6861]

theres a HUGE mistake at 3:33 when playing the arpeggio part, that should be played twice, the first part its ok but then he starts to speed up and looses all the feeling of the song 3/5

[fefe925]

You must play Bach really well

[Earaem]

well.. I may lack major knowledge about music..

But accordingly only to me liking Philip Glass a lot ..

i must say that playing this piece sounds quite Ridiculous from 1:51 and after..

sorry for the hard word.. but it's ... ew..

Although it's quite ok till 1:51

(maybe at about 3:40 such velocity would be nice.. but then again..nah )

[xlovemerylx]

my god..nice steinway

[chomskyknows1977]

He only plays the piece a bit faster than the movie so he should not slow it "way down." Very well done. Superb playing.

[thoughtfulguy]

Who played the score for the original movie?

[freakyfrizzl]

lol the fact that the music is easy to play doesn't mean you can't put any sensitivity in it O.o dunno if the pianist ever saw the movie.. quite a hint to do then you'll play it differently.. I think it is fairly misinterptretated almost an insult to philip glass

[1952nan14]

please slow it down.

[illuminatif]

whoooooaa!!!!!slow down@@@@@@@

[rubenvil]

way too fast, slow down.. please put some spirit in it

[mozigon]

anybody as the sheet music of this music?

[trunks2861]

VERY good.

[LLL78]

you feel the spirit, man. beautiful, sensitive, perfect.

[thelmamaria]

Hey there - New Orleans tonight - I watched/listened the hours for three hours while I read the paper and counted change. Wow > you play well enough that I forgot I was listening to somebody playing....I thought I was listening to my inner soundtrack. Good to meet you - email you sometime.

[kskelt]

Beautiful videos. I love the music from The Hours, but this is my favourite one. He plays them very well. Well done :)
