Beautiful! Loved it!!

wow this piece is amazing it took me a while to understand it. but its truly a work of art

[frankiepop]

i am not going to pile on here. I will rzewski has written a few of the best compositions of the last century, but many of his lyrical writings like this fail to be to interesting. I have listened to the ambient Tibetian bowl music before, but i needed a little more interesting dialogue to deal with the simplicity of the musical accompanient. However, I thought we heard almost a marimba sound towards the end.

@frankiepop Rzewski didn't right the lyrics, its a hymn from the ancient greek - the homeric hymns, rzewski just wrote the music

people who criticize arguing with "it's awful, i don't like, it's shit" can go listen their daily shit on commercial radio channels.

This is an excellent performance. Even if people hate the piece, the educated can tell you did your part.

[datruzepp]

i feel there was not enough musicality in this performance

[qtpipi]

Awful piece. Easily the least inspiring of Rzewski's works.

i think that he moves extremely well considering the difficulty of the piece. the text and the rhythm are different which creates an interesting blend of sound as well as complimenting the skills of the performer. i think that this guys moves with experience and expression

[rascalrascal]

the way this guy moves around is so dorky im sorry
