  • I wish this clip included the beginning of the song, it's so beautiful. This is one of the few Phil Glass songs that move me, or that I can listen to all the way through :P

  • I'll see to it. Unfortunately the time limitation of clips often needs a drastic cut.

  • The music is so perfect that it is probably one of the only compositions that can musically describe Gandhi's achievements with the dignity and respect due to such a revolution as the idea of nonviolence.

  • This is beautiful. Thank you!

  • The beauty and sound of this never leaves you . . .

  • So intense... So strong... So beautiful...

  • @charliejsanders oh my god... you know where I can get a copy of that???

  • The Met Live HD broadcast has the new staging of the opera, which is AMAZING!

  • will watch this next saturday the 26th ... cant wait :)

  • @SrNutritivo Si me imagino lo cansado que debe ser interpretar, si algo es difícil de tocar es lo repetitivo y secuencial, es cansado, ahora una ópera completa debe ser muy demandante, pero me gusta, tiene una atmósfera interesante. Saludos

  • @ang7751 si, tienes razon... De todos modos si no me equivoco en esta puesta de stuttgart el director es Riesman, viejo colaborador de Glass de siempre, asi q puede ser q se deba a cuestiones "tecnicas". Segun leei en algun lado, las operas de Glass son extremadamente dificiles de interpretar por lo demandantes q son fisicamente para los musicos... De hecho esta orquesta y director son los mismos de las grabacion de esta opera, pero se graba en varios dias, no todo de golpe!

  • Wow, can hardly wait to see it on the 19th of November.

  • @Bebkins I know, right! Check out the 'Knee Plays' from Einstein on the Beach, or 'Dreaming Awake' or, 'Changing Opinion' from Songs From Liquid Days, or 'Witchita Vortex Sutra' that Allen Ginsberg was involved in. Like it or not, Glass IS our generation's most prolific composer.

  • Un poco lenta la versión, pero la obra es única
