Музика магічна! Дякую автору та виконавцю. 🧚‍♀️💙💛

I'm listening to it again after almost 40 years. I bought the album LP in 1986. It won me over at the first listen.

[@reinhardwilting7996]

A great perfomance! Congratulations

[@tangopeacock]

I personally prefer this over the original LP, but I still love it! Glass is such a master. I'd love to see an epic arrangement of this kind for. "The Photographer" one day. That is one of the more underrated of his masterpieces.

[@rtsnow]

When Glass composed this, and when it was first performed, he intended the interpretation to be entirely open-ended regardless even of interpretations that took place under his guidance. Here, there is a different kind of power, and the performance finds something that I never found before. It still has its low-brow theme, or "continuo", if I can call it that, which I think is inescapable in this composition. Each interpretation says something different. I am very grateful to the producers and arrangers of this performance for a window into this set of songs that is valid, and powerful. Bravo to the choir and soloists and conductor and arranger.

Why the best musics are the most underrated?

[@benjaminniemczyk]

Very cool! One of my favorite Glass albums. He is one of the few composers whose music can be reimagined to great success. This is an excellent performance. The musicians overcame many challenges to bring this to life. Bravi to all involved.

[@AZJuggling]

PHANTASTIC! This will definitely be an added bonus to my Philip on Phriday playlist!

[@calaf1816]

FANTASTIC !!
I like this version 100 times more than the original 1986 recording.

Impresionante y bello

Magnífico! Belíssima performance! Maravilha!

[@mikeg2924]

I'll give that a triple plus, both to the composer and also to the singers!

[@laszloandriska5829]

Wow!

[@artisartisfilm]

Beautiful !

[@agentredbeak]

This is truly magnificent. Amazing job. Well done!

[@raymondBURSI]

magnifique C'est merveilleux

[@rsablosky]

The singers on the original album were wonderful (especially Janice Pendarvis on "Freezing"), but these singers are even better. Bravo!!!

[@pepelanstrum6923]

Janice Pendarvis only sings in LIGHTNING.

[@rsablosky]

@@pepelanstrum6923 You are right, it's "Lightning"!

[@pepelanstrum6923]

@@rsablosky you're thinking in Linda Ronsdat😉

[@rsablosky]

@@pepelanstrum6923 I like Ronstadt on "Freezing," but I love Pendarvis on "Lighting."

[@miguelignaciojimenezmartin1734]

¡Impresionante! Conocí a Glass y mi concepción de la música cambio.

Impresionante. Magnífica puesta en escena

[@totaldeathovermexico2299]

Fantastic ❤️

[@patrickmaveau8497]

I personally like the Akhnaten atmosphere more.
I think Symphony No. 3: Traveling Dreams Tastes Better.
Anyway thank you for getting acquainted with this work.

[@janiszogs]

Skaisti! Paldies, ka publicējāt, pat neticās

[@historiadordabiblia]

Fantástico

[@gLittle807]

Beautiful work

[@MarcoInchingolo83]

Congratulations! Bravissimi!

[@feliperamirez1325]

Waaaa notable...

[@marissteinbergs5172]

vēlreiz!

[@G928...]

Interesting and beautiful, however for me in particular "Forgetting" just isn't the same without the ethereal voice of linda ronstadt.

[@rr7firefly]

Her voice is an essential part of "Labyrinth" from "1000 Airplanes on the Roof"

[@aitaitxebe]

Bikaina!!!

[@Illia.Humeniuk]

WOW. (!)

[@jonthsa]

[@lidakatier3263]

Fhantastic

[@VuykArie]

I was very disappointed with the poor performed and over - produced original album. In this performance, Songs from Liquid Days is finally a song cycle. This is very very very good.

[@jantoornstra6533]

Nuostabus kūrinys, kaip norėčiau jį atlikti su savo choru savoje šalyje

[@solrojas456]

que lastima se escucha tan mal

[@frankoreilly5712]

Get a better set of speakers...lol
Depende donde lo reproduzcas😉

[@mariomarchitti]

The original score has been trasformed from a pop/rock songs cycle to a lyrical piece. I have some doubs about the operation.
