Glass: Solo Piano Music (Full Album) played by Jeroen van Veen

Glass can provide a clear window, but also a reflection. What a perfect name for him.

i dont know how i stumbled upon phillip glass. i was all alone in poland and i suppose i knew i was interested in minimalism. i bought a cheap cassette. i've listened to this music on and off for thirty years. i don't overdo it. but i woke up alone on a sunday morning and decided i would rather listen to philip glass than go back to sleep. you have to find happiness where you can.

My grandpa is on the edge of his life due to medical issues and he told me this always reminds him of me. Now it will always remind me of him. Cherish your moments people.

Minimalism is beautiful. The minimum of the form is the maximum of the content.

Hard to describe the emotions and memories that I feel with the opening to Glassworks. Everything comes into alignment, like metal shavings with a magnet. Memories from a time past never to be recovered but always in my conscience.

Listening to this, lying on my bathroom floor. Taking in the acoustics and the presence of pure beauty. Slowly drifting into the world of mirrors and flowing water. Waiting to be swept away by the wings of angels that have been sewn by these pieces. Forever drifting through time.

Glass hits melodies that I didn't know my soul was longing to hear. Phenomenal.

The music takes you to places from which it is not easy to escape.

I never tire of this music. It is so beautiful and so sad. Life and death, meanings, feelings , memories all arrive and depart, like breathing.

Glass's music takes me to unexpected places. so beautiful...

Music to escape the insanity of covid19...This is Bliss

Voices literally come through the keys at certain times. Van Veen's playing is absolutely gorgeous and spectral.

Sober purposeful intelligent minimalism. I can't stop listening.

I like Philip Glass so so so much. This is just beautiful beyond words.

I heard the opening to this on the radio in my car a few days back. I absolutely love it.

When does gratitude break down to yield tears at our being, of coming into existence, of having been here all of us, all of us one and all through time in each and every incomprehensible way. I die long before my death. I die in the grasps and gasps of having lived at all and imagining the life of all life before.

He's the Mondrian of music composition. A true and powerful genius.

Y'know, this particular disc is hard to find. Not that that is any surprise. But it would be nice to hear this somewhere else, like driving or in my living room. This is all so sweet. I'll keep listening though. I can understand why very young children respond so positively to the music of Mr. Glass. It's transporting, making life seem much more embraceable. It makes me want to live. Here I am at three o'clock in the morning, with a driving headache, slowly being carried to somewhere else, cursing myself for not having learned the piano when I was young, seventy years ago. This music is excellent for resolving headaches by the way.

Glass is a genius. This man is good at what he does. He performs mad rush better than the composer. I think he will like him, Philip would always insist on technique. Respect.

When it comes to minimalism, J.van Veen is my favourite pianist.
