Symphony for eight

Philip Glass.

Violoncel.

Hipnotic.

Vara.

Stiti ca tot ce va recomanda Turambar este extraordinar de foarte. Deci ascultati. Dar atentie: nu va uitati la filmulet. Ignorati-l. Pur si simplu ascultati. Cu ochii inchisi.



Philip Glass: Glass Reflections, piesa Simphony For Eight, in interpretarea halucinatorie a octetului olandez de violoncele Cello Octet Amsterdam (da, stiu, nu exceleaza prin originalitatea numelui; in schimb compenseaza prin interpretare; mai inainte se numeau Conjunto Iberico)

Albumul poate fi gasit aici (din pacate, momentan nu este seeduit; LATER EDIT: ba din contra, are seeders galore, se ia cu usurinta. Get it while is hot).

Din prezentarea de pe torrenti:

Glass Reflections by Cello Octet - Conjunto Iberico came about when, in 1999, Composer Philip Glass heard a movement of his third symphony played by the cello octet in Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, he was greatly impressed. Inspired by the great reception and the composer's support, Conjunto Iberico and their conductor Elias Arizcurenm created an entire program of Glass works transcribed for their ensemble. The result is Glass Reflections which features works from the entire range of Glass's compositional activities including the concert hall, theater, opera and film. The Composer's symphonic and operatic music are well represented with selections from his opera Akhnaten, his incidental music for Samuel Beckett's Company, and the breathtaking third movement from Symphony No. 3 (Symphony for Eight) for strings. In the past few years the composer's output for film has increased, some examples Glass' best work in the medium are selections from Mishima and Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent. World famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma recently commented, "(Conjunto Iberico) is a treasure indeed, a fine example to the world of music...Wherever I play: Brazil, the U.S., people talk to me about Conjunto Iberico...Elias Arizcuren is a true visionary who has achieved something absolutly unique with this group."

da, ascult Philip Glass de mai mult timp si imi pare extraordinar. exista trei compozitori moderni importanti care merita ascultati: John Cage, Arvo Part si Philip Glass...
