Thanks!

[bgsmink]

Somebody knows the title of this amzing piece of music?

[septimaify]

@bgsmink did u read the title? Canto Ostinato

[giliam74]

@bgsmink it's called 'duh'...

[wessel1956]

Wat ongeloofelijk jammer dat ik toen nog niet wist, dat deze bijzondere muziek bestond en ik niet wist van deze unieke omgeving waarin Sandra en Jeroen dit spelen. Ik had graag gaan zitten in het stoeltje waaruit op een gegeven moment een toehoorder stapt, om nooit weer weg te gaan! Bijna mystiek wat deze muziek doet en wat voor chemische reactie in de hersenen plaatsvindt!

One doesn't understand the people walking by in the background...................h­earing such a lovely music!

Brings back accounts of Lyle Alzado.

I remeber listening to this music a lot when I was in my early 20-ies. While it feels a bit dated to me now I always thought it was an interesting ans mesmerising piece. It sort plays upon the repetitiveness of all the parts. A typical average length concert of the whole piece takes two hours. It takes ages before this part with the main theme kicks in and when it does, the contrast and shock to the hypnotizing mononous earlier parts can't be bigger. It's a relief to reach that point.

Great works!

I will embed this movie onto my October 1st 2009 blog.

This is like chewing gum but for the ears.

Little changes from beginning to end, and keeps losing it´s flavor, till you get rid of it.

My opinion, perhaps it's an idea to have canto ostinato on the background while busy with something like driving to work or smoking an cuban cigar, it works very relaxing! i've noticed myself!

[mrmolinodelahoz]

What does driving to work or smoking a cuban cigar have to do with art or music?

Noise is still noise even when it sounds like driving through traffic.

No music is better than bad music.

Speak only when you can improve upon the silence.

[Menn019]

We have diffirent opinion's and taste it seems.

POSITIVE ENERGY!! please?

[Nthje]

@mrmolinodelahoz wrong, wrong, wrong. Your state of mind influences changes the way you experience the music, thus changing your opinion on it. Everyone notices this, when you are in mellow mood you like mellow music, while when youre in an energetic state you generally (not allways ofc) hate it.

[thedutchidiot]

absolutly amazing!

[cahilzaman]

It is as if an invitation to the unique cosmic experience and is full of pain, full of pleasure, that is to say is so dangareous for a mind illuminated by intoxication... As Walter Benjamin noted that: Allegorical dismemberment. The music to which one listens under the influence of hashish appears, in Baudelaire, as the entire poem entering your brain , like a dictionary that has come alive.

[acerflots]

good thinking, i totally agree on your comment.

[fvhilten]

This performance was at the former Iron Factory "DRU" at Ulft (Gelderland, East part of Netherlands) in 2003. They performed at the empty hall on a day the old factory was open for visitors. I was there and it was absolutely amazing. You cannot imagine a better - slightly estranging - location for a piece like Canto Ostinato. Besides, I discovered myself and family walking by somewhere in the background!

Vandaag door het nieuws op dit stuk geattendeerd. In deze video is de achterste piano door afstand slechter te horen. Maar, toch, het is mooi en ga een goede opname of zoeken.

[tubebakkal]

Betoverend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[acerflots]

am very much in love with this music. het was een schok om niet het hele begin te horen, en het einde zo abrupt onderbroken, whyyyyyyyyy! prachtig, original footage, waar was het??

[andluja]

I really enjoy this piano piece. I heard Sandra and Jeroen playing this piece the first time at the Concertgebou in Amsterdam and I was immediately struck by the beauty and mistique of this composition.

[Lydz1313]

how did they get the pianos there? =/

[PSearPianist]

I really enjoyed this - when and where was the performance given?
