Program note:
Although Philip Glass is one of the most influential composers of our time, his music is often controversially described as “minimalist,” a term that turns off many would-be audience members. Glass himself is wary of genre, and his prolific output runs the gamut from silence to opera and symphony. Born in Baltimore, the composer’s early musical influences came in the form of unsold records from his father’s store - Hindemith, Schoenberg, and other modern composers. He studied at Peabody, the University of Chicago, Juilliard, and Aspen, after which he moved to France to work with the legendary Nadia Boulanger. He often draws on modern technology and its accompanying din, Indian and eastern music and philosophy, and the visual arts for musical material. His serendipitous meeting and collaborations with Indian music legend Ravi Shankar influenced Glass’ compositional aesthetic profoundly and eternally.
With origins in the New York City avant-garde scene of lofts and galleries, Glass has since had a meteoric rise, composing numerous symphonies (10), operas (27), and feature-length film scores (53). From this vantage point, it is significant that one of his most popular and omnipresent works (in numerous advertisements) is his music for the film Mishima.
The process of making the score to String Quartet No. 3 Mishima was an unorthodox one. Kevin Jackson notes: “Glass began by composing a complete independent score, consulting drafts of the script but not seeing any of the rushes, and then handed it over to the director. Schrader played around with this primary score, extending or shortening some parts, repeating others, and cut the film to these musical extracts. Glass was then presented with this edited version, which he could recompose, taking into account the film’s narrative needs.”
Wonderfully played. One of Glass' most lyrical and the ensemble gives it exactly the right touch.
Once you are in, you cannot get out of it
This is the slowest Ive ever heard part IV...I didn't love it at first, but it got me and you played it so beautifully
So amazing!
Bravo! I’ll never understand why I remain so enthralled with talented musicians. It’s a language I long for.
Excellent and full of beauty.
I am in love with this. It is so beautiful, so modern, yet so timeless.
Classique et terriblement moderne . Oui , un grand bravo ! J'adore ...

Très beau et émouvant, s’agissant de l’hommage d’un Américain à un Japonais patriote. Philip Glass est le plus grand compositeur vivant.

Exquisite
Amazing. Better w/o the coughing and hacking in a recorded concert
14:53 essa música é linda simplesmente encantadora, fico imaginando o fim do mundo ao som dela,quero tocar no meu casamento
Glass captured the essence of Yukio Mishima in this music. So beautiful and bold. Props to Schrader as well. Mishima's life was such an important example for us, he was a hero.
Magnifique !
EL ULTIMO TEMA ES TOTALMENTE SUBLIME, SE ME HA ERIZADO LA PIEL, SON GENIALES
This is the only sound quality I get when I play soft with a slow bow motion. I always wonder how classical players get a clear and even tone when they do play soft and slow. I first heard the quartet as a transcription for guitars (The Dublin Quartet) and came to listen to the original. I expected more classical playing and was surprised. Classical bowing wouldn't match the music.

El hombre agripado lo ha arruinado todo.
Hahaha si creo que tenía covid por qué esa gripe no es normal saludos desde la ciudad de México
@@maumtzrs1344 LOL. Saludos.
Mishima must be turning in his grave but still this string quartet was only film music for the 1985 film about Mishima. Having played in a string quartet where we played Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven string quartets as well as the Dvorak "American" quartet, Ravel String quartet, the Bartok string quartets, and the Lutoslawski string quartet, I think I am qualified to say that this string quartet by Phillip Glass is unmitigated repetitive trash.
Very bland and digestible. Modern 'classical music' for people who don't like 'classical music'. Nice playing, though.
Well, no. Mahler didn't write any string quartets.
