Once, I loved a woman, I still do, but she never loved me back. This music takes me to her, in a place without boundaries, without time, without age. And whilst the music plays, I feel loved. And I don't want the music to end, so I play it again and again for hours. Always the love. Always the hours.
That's very sweet and you've expressed it beautifully. Music can do that for us in a way perhaps no other art form can. It's a marvel of human creation.
Could be my words. I do the same, but it’s for a man I loved but was never loved back, it’s 20 years now, 175 316.255 hours. This music takes me back to him and makes me feel loved.
I am a classically trained piano player since I was 7 (I am 43), and I firmly believe that The Poet Acts is one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed (and it get even prettier when it’s played piano-only). I can’t believe why this OST didn’t win an Oscar.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
Many years ago during college I spent a Saturday helping a Swiss master pastry chef shuttle deserts to a faculty dinner. He saw me looking longingly at the Napoleons he was finishing. He cut a piece of it for me. I tasted it and said to him, "Oh my god! How can anything taste this incredibly amazing?" He smiled proudly and asked, "Would you like another?" When I tried to describe the music of Philip Glass, I immediately thought about that Napoleon. Incredibly amazing. Sometimes I wonder if I worthy enough to listen to it. I feel so privileged to live in a time when I can access this kind of beauty anytime I want.
Yes, indeed, we are the luckiest music generation to be able to push three clicks on our wonderful machines and gracefully pours forth this incredible music for all to hear. Now, what to do with all these tapes, cds, records and 45's.
It makes me cry and so sad for all that has passed and all that has ended, friendships, lovers, the time that was wasted that in retrospect should of been treasured...memories without the clarity they use to have but still with the pain and regret of yesterday....and....I love it.
I've been so stressed out recently that I really need a decent night's sleep. I can't wait to get to sleep. These compliments make me feel unique and all that. You guys are fantastic. To be honest, I can't thank you all enough. Good night, and rest well. Sleep is quite essential, and you require it.
I've been listening to his piano music every day for months, but this one remains one of my favorites. Brilliant composition, brilliant playing, beautiful sound.
This is stunningly beautiful. Gripping. Uplifting. Melancholic. Energising. Insightful. Delicate. Oh, to be able to play the piano with such emotional intelligence and wisdom. Thank you
Philip Glass found a very emotional way of expressing the unstable balance of the soul. This gives rise to various variations in the shades of this condition. He reflects one theme in his music. But the found form is so successful that it can be repeated like the human genome and always be deep in content.
Glad that Mr. Glass drove that taxi so he could write the kind of music he wanted to write and so classical lovers could hear new music with melody, rhythm, harmony and intelligence. Woot!
Harold, are you familiar with his operas, especially "Satyagraha" and Akhnaten"? We saw "Satyagraha" at the Met back in 2011, and I still count it as one of the most moving experiences of my life, musical or otherwise. We'll be at the Met for this season's "Akhnaten" as well. Please, look these up and delve into them. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
"The Hours" is one of my most favorite movie & soundtrack and this cover is just absolutely amazing. I've listened to it multiple times now What a lark, what a plunge!
I love the piano compositions of Philip Glass. I read posts, obviously from trained musicians, that point out that he is not really all that much of a great talent, and I try and listen to as many great composers that I can but, other than Rachmaninoff, they just don't exhibit the beautiful, pounding passion of Philip Glass. Every day I keep coming back to give him a listen. As an artist, I find him to be my muse.
Sometimes the greatest beauty comes from simplicity. As a pianist, I can see that Glass uses many simple and common techniques in composing his pieces, but it's not about how "easy" it is, but about how masterfully it's executed. In this, Philip Glass is a master. I absolutely adore his music, and it soothes my pianist's soul to listen to it. And this artist here plays with such mastery and emotion that you're carried away into deep thought by listening. THAT is true musicianship. Bravo.
@@a.t.678 Es lo que me gusta de la música "minimalista", su sencillez. El repiqueteo de la lluvia en la ventana perdería su sentido si fuera más trabajado. Me harté hace mucho de los arabescos de la barroca y los estallidos del romanticismo. Este raudal de agua fresca era del todo necesario.
I was trying to write while listening to this, and was doing well for a while, then felt like I was part of a life's work montage in a movie. I suppose that is success!
Fantastic. From Metamorphosis to The hours was a logical progression. And an emotional one too, since Kafka and Woolf were important influences while I was growing up. It's only right that they should be the solace in my old age. Many thanks for this beautiful performance.
Think tittle is perfect. When song starts, i feel that it's not the beginning, that pianist was playing it somewhere, sometime, far, far away; and that i just appeared there in order to listen to it forever and more.

I had never heard of Philip Glass, nor had I heard about the movie of this sound track. But this was one of the most relaxing and yet moving 45 minutes I've had this year. Thank you to all involved in making this piece of art.
This is good writing music. The constant repetition and variation in this soundtrack are hypnotic; the music puts you in a productive trance and squeezes out just enough emotion to keep you engaged, but not a surfeit of feeling that will distract you.
i have never claimed to be "into classical music," but Phillip Glass has always managed to tickle some part of my brain. I have severe adhd and normally would not find lyricless music worth listening to intently.. but this.. it's somehow "more."
I have been listening to this compilation for years, but I recently suddenly got hooked to Morning Passages. I went around listening to a few different versions, including the original as well as other piano covers. And I find that I love yours the best. I has the drama and urgency at the build up that I needed... I used to play the piano but had mostly lost touch since, but yea, I would have played it like that too. Probably even harder, but thank you for this rendition...
Philip Morris Glass is one of the best composers of the late 20th century! virtuous pianist! erudite! intellectual! and started his artistic career in the music industry when I was a year old! (1972) and released the first album in 1973! "Music in Similar Motion / Music In 5ths" and his vast muiscal work, with soundtracks! etc ... there are about 86 (eighty-six) :) discs released on the market! out the cameos! for other artists and also composers! I have physically three masterpieces that are for me "The Thin Blue Line (Original Soundtrack) 1999" Philip Glass: Music in Twelve Parts "1993 and finally" Philip Glass: The Complete Sony Recordings "2016. It has already released in 2020, four records that I haven't heard yet. All this work and talent, doesn't match the popular saying! Portuguese "the greater the quantity; lower is the quality "with P.Glass! it is unique and timeless! Thank you very much for existing ....
Gracias por tanta información, no lo sabía. El es budista. Ellos no tienen especio en sus cerebros para el odio ni para el mal. P.G. lo llena de escenas que traslada a sus partituras . Es una bella combinación de espacios ❤❤
Some nights, I open a bottle of wine, crank up my Yamaha A-S2200 integrated amplifier powering Focal Aria 948 speakers, turn on the Yamaha CD-S2100 CD player with a great USB DAC, play the recording of the phone call PG made to me on my birthday recorded onto a CD, then play Coversart's fantastic interpretation of PG's "The Hours" played on a Yamaha piano.
By far the most compelling piano performance to date ! Ebb and flow, tempi, all beautifully convey a ‘depth of emotion’, not heard in other solo versions.
This is so amazingly beautiful, and performed beautifully, beyond words. I can listen to this a million times, and each time I have to cry. Thank you so much, Coversart. You are a blessed musician, and I am deeply in love with your hands.
really love this recording you made. Love watching your hands too. I am just awakening to the beauty and power of Phillip Glass' music and your interpretation is very moving and revealing.
omg - yes. i've poured out my insides with countless comments on Coversart's interpretation of Glass' pieces - never finding the words to express his sensual perfection. but you did: "he plays me"
Stunning and heartfelt performance ❤It always helps me to banish my darkest thoughts for a while. I do cry but the insane fear stops. Thank you, you belong among other things to my salvation anchors. I miss my piano so much. Someday I hope to be able to buy a used piano again. My dexterity is limited by my rheumatism, but movement is supposed to do good.😄
Vous jouez admirablement. J'ai découvert Philip Glass avec l'album de la violoniste québécoise Angèle Dubeau et La Pietà, les femmes musiciennes qui l'accompagnent. Vous m'apportez une autre couleur. Bravo! C'est un réel plaisir de vous écouter.
Desde los años ochenta (¡hace cuarenta años!), le sigo la pista a la música de Philip Glass, fue en una estación universitaria de radio de la ciudad de México. Toda o casi toda me gusta de una manera que diría es casi obsesiva. Ya muy tardíamente conocí este album; acaso cuatro o cinco años han pasado desde entonces. Y desde ese momento se convirtió en mi favorito, y nada fácil fue esa elección. Hoy lo escucho con mucha frecuencia, yo pienso que mínimo una vez por semana, es decir, que lo habré escuchado unas 200 veces y no me cansa ni me hastía. Me sigue maravillando con una nitidez propia de un primer encuentro con el ser amado, cuando dimos y recibimos un primer beso: quedo embelesado, deseoso de más; sediento de esa agua, siempre dominado por una sed que no se sacia.
Every time you make a new video, it's my new favorite! Thank you for all your work, your videos are so beautiful. They help me study, they help me manage stress, they help me focus on life. You are the most amazing channel!
I have several interpretations of this. While I am not qualified to judge I will say that I found the dynamics (I think that is the right word) and the tempos to be fabulous. Or, to put it another way: Loved it!
Just truly one of most expressive and coherent film soundtracks. This interpretation is definitely the best and most pianistic, I can’t get enough of it! Bravo!!
Wow, what a powerful and moving performance. Thank you so much for uploading. :) I'm amazed by the ethereal quality you can bring to these pieces, particularly the first.
Truly an amazing performance of P Glass piano. Watched it all with a glass of scotch on the rocks :) You are are great player. Great ambiance.. Thank you !!
if a scotch would bring Coversart's music any deeper into me - i would drown. that would be welcome as i can barely survive listening for years to his playing - and it hurts. but i can't stop. it's so perfectly, powerfully, softly, definitively, painfully beautiful.
This is how I found this channel... I'm so glad I put a search in for the music from The Hours. It's beautiful music, one I go back to again and again. This is wonderfully played!! 👏👏👏
Ah yes. All the glorious saccharine tripe I can suck in from peoples commentary. I'm a frickin rocket scientist Farg you. Its fractions of a second away. Shut up. I did. Like ohmigawd. Party on Seeatle. Like totally bitchen bitchen cool awesomeness dudes like I'm so sure really oh my God right?
I've always loved the music from this album, but I had never taken my time to watch The Hours. Today, I had to watch that movie for a university project and it gives the music an entirely different meaning. Just as good, but so, so much more emotional, as if that was even possible. Great music for a great movie

Philip Glass is ONE OF THE GREATEST Composer in history of music.
Glass has this ability to play music like he say "I'm too tired, let my hands take over" and the hands still sound great.
Qué bonito comentario, gracias!!! ❤❤❤

But the found form is so successful that it can be repeated like the human genome and always be deep in content.
So enigmatic, deep and reflective, especially when considered with the film 'THE HOURS'. Thank you for sharing.
i know i said i wouldn't comment anymore but i believe i have found my new favorite composer for the time. tearing herself away....wow what a piece
Glad that Mr. Glass drove that taxi so he could write the kind of music he wanted to write and so classical lovers could hear new music with melody, rhythm, harmony and intelligence. Woot!
Wow, the first piece brought tears to my eyes.
Le merveilleux film The Hours m'a emportée jusqu'ici. La musique de Philip Glass est magnifique.
I have given up Rock and Roll for Philip Glass' music. Life has so much more meaning now.
The wonderful part of life is you can appreciate each genre of music for what it is. You don't have to give up anything.
Some composers have the ability to send strong messages and vibrate our heartstrings in such a way that can truly transform oneself.

He wrote a symphony with David Bowie and Brian Eno, so he has some respect for rock and roll
Haunting music from a haunting film.
Philippe Glass, I’ve finished reading your Book.. what a journey of your life and your music.
Words without Music? loved his book as well.
This sound has deep meaning, my heart knows it well, it is part of me. I have lost people in my life, this brings comfort and strength.

I have several interpretations of this. While I am not qualified to judge I will say that I found the dynamics (I think that is the right word) and the tempos to be fabulous. Or, to put it another way: Loved it!
Just truly one of most expressive and coherent film soundtracks. This interpretation is definitely the best and most pianistic, I can’t get enough of it! Bravo!!
You were so passionate when you played Dead Things. I love it, thank you.
Psychologically compelling and haunting. Rivers of disturbing shadows chasing life around every corner turned on journey to grave.
Wow, what a powerful and moving performance. Thank you so much for uploading. :) I'm amazed by the ethereal quality you can bring to these pieces, particularly the first.
I love the way you play, so clear and full of energy! I often listen to Metamorphosis and now this came by and I recognized your way of playing.
Truly an amazing performance of P Glass piano. Watched it all with a glass of scotch on the rocks :) You are are great player. Great ambiance.. Thank you !!
Single malt neat Ardbeg
if a scotch would bring Coversart's music any deeper into me - i would drown. that would be welcome as i can barely survive listening for years to his playing - and it hurts. but i can't stop. it's so perfectly, powerfully, softly, definitively, painfully beautiful.
Such an amazing performance, loving it!!! Thanks for playing my favorite soundtrack in one play!!!
me encanta como me lleva de la mano hasta la melancolía, este completo de las horas de Philip Glass
Full of emotion. Powerful.
This is how I found this channel... I'm so glad I put a search in for the music from The Hours. It's beautiful music, one I go back to again and again. This is wonderfully played!! 👏👏👏
Realmente esta música es un lugar a donde ir, donde espacio y tiempo no existe.
I love this piano music. It is transformational and conscious.
Za čas , godinu i prodje život ispunjen divnom muzikom
This was beautiful! You just helped me write 1.324 of the most painfully needed words I have ever written in my life! Thank you! Great job
Ah yes. All the glorious saccharine tripe I can suck in from peoples commentary. I'm a frickin rocket scientist Farg you. Its fractions of a second away. Shut up. I did. Like ohmigawd. Party on Seeatle. Like totally bitchen bitchen cool awesomeness dudes like I'm so sure really oh my God right?
Very impressive and beautiful music, with excellent interpretation!! Amazing!!
Thank you very much, Jiri!
Mec, bravo, j'ai écrit une lettre d'amour en écoutant ton interprétation, ces quarante minutes sont passées comme un songe...
super c'est beau
This movie and soundtrack changed my life 🖤
Same here x
Magnifique musique et magnifique film. A voir absolument .... plusieurs fois...
Thanks! This music gives me comfort. You play it wonderfully, I would like to hear more piano works by Glass played by you.
in love with ur playing makes me so comfortable in this hard times
Oh, thank you!
Marvellous... I 'm always listening this music. Thank you!
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful piece of music. Thanks.
I've always loved the music from this album, but I had never taken my time to watch The Hours. Today, I had to watch that movie for a university project and it gives the music an entirely different meaning. Just as good, but so, so much more emotional, as if that was even possible. Great music for a great movie
Así es también para mí. Miradas, dedos que acarician textos.... Suena todo, y se callan todo. Se dicen por completo.
