It's time for me to admit, I listen to this performance of Etude 2 many times a week as a form of stress relief and escape from the insane time we live in. Wonderful interpretation by Batagov.
Merci pour ce beau commentaire, que je partage (en Français,!). La Musique n’a pas besoin de traducteurs, les cerveaux la reçoivent, l’acceptent, l’interprètent chacun selon ses capacités, son héritage culturel.
I have loved Philip Glass and his hypnotic and beautiful works for years. I just got some of these etudes played by the NYU Steel Drum group and it is a very lively and interesting version. His music is so open to so many variations, from piano and guitar, to steel drums, harps, and vibraphones!
I would love to see you play here in NYC!!! You are one of my favorite contemporary composers. Saw you play two studios at the BAM (with Philip Glass), and nothing more!! Come to NYC!
Your playing is just beautiful, Anton. I discovered this piece on youtube, performed by Yuja Wang. I listened to several other very good pianists perform this,but none of them did anything for me. I read that your recording is the best, so I looked and found you here. This is my first time listening. Your interpretation and speed are different, and it makes no difference to me. I love Yuja Wang's interpretation and now I love yours, too. There's someone's soul in this---yours. Thank you for posting this.
Anton Batagov is one of the most talented, beautiful musical souls I've encountered in my life. This is one good thing about recording devices and the internet. (But can you imagine how great it would be to see him in live performance!)
Call me a Philistine, but while the SOUND of live performance might be preferable, sitting in a row facing a stage in the presence of other people who cough, rustle papers, emit into the air what THEY consider pleasant smells, and talk does not appeal to me. I'd rather light a candle in a darkened room, lie on the carpet or sit back in an easy chair with a cup of good coffee and just give myself over to the music.
One thing (out of many) I love about these etudes is how much of Glass's prior works they include, making it available in piano form for us amateurs to play and study. And yes, we can only dream of even approaching Batagov's virtuosity and interpretive skills.
Anton Batagov- le meilleur interpret de la musique de Philip Glass- prendre des leçons de musique Avec en humain aussi grand- le rêve de ma vie- une encroiable verite de la structure musical. vôtre manière de interpréte Bach- est extraordinaire. je vous remercie de tout mon coeur de votre existence. vous avez tout compris. avec tout mon respect pour vous. merci beaucoup Thomas Fischer.
Антон, Вы так слиты с исполняемой Музыкой, что остается только жить в этом потоке с Вами и автором. Каждая нота - продумана и прочувствована. Просто нет слов. Низкий поклон.
Will it be heretical if I say that Mr Philip Glass is interpreting the spirit of J S Bach for us in the late 20th /early 21st century? Mr Glass has his own inimitable way of presenting musical ideas which may not appeal to all but here Mr Anton Batagov's sensitive , technically brilliant interpretation surely will beguile all lovers of beauty. Many thanks for sharing this performance.
I agree Glass's keyboard compositions have a JS Bach feel to them sometimes! But mostly I am stunned by the sheer beauty of these Etudes and by Mr. Batagov's pure love of the music he makes -- his soul, his technical skill, interpretation, sensibilities... Both Glass and Batagov are world treasures.
@@4Topwood the great thing about music is that it is subjective and as listeners, we are free to interpret it according to our mental getup at the time of hearing it. I'm intrigued that you're thinking of Schubert , I'll definitely listen again to see if I can make the same connection. Thank you and best wishes, Sakuntala Basu, India
Suddenly so romantic (Nr. 8) 🙂! I like this interpretation. Through intelligent use of pedal, articulation and dynamics the performer adds variety and emotion to Glass' repetitive and kind of mechanical style.
El Etude 2 suena similar a Amazon River que grabara la agrupación Uakti con el disco Aguas da Amazonia, con la música de Philip Glass. Tiene la misma cadencia.
Je me suis amusée à liker et à reliker pour voir si par hasard... je ne pourrais pas surliker ;p Un "j'aime" est si faible pour Philip Glass. Alors je vous laisse faire le reste !
@@markantrobus8782 The joke is from the movie "Amadeus" (see ua-cam.com/video/DAumfGJcEq4/v-deo.html), where a fictionalised Mozart belittles Salieri's music.

I listen to Etude No. 2 frequently. For me, It defies description, it is transcendental.
Same. Love this. Work from home, frequently have this on in the background.

Love the harp interpretation s must have a CNN listen bro steel drums?

I can't imagine these etudes being played any better than this. The crispness and rhythmical lilt and accuracy are out-of-this-world.

@@renzo6490 that is why I play these etudes by my self
I would really enjoy to see him perform live.
i love Philip Glass's music. thanks for playing it :)

No. 6 was amazing.
Anton Batagov-
le meilleur interpret
de la musique de Philip Glass-
prendre des leçons de musique
Avec en humain aussi grand-
le rêve de ma vie-
une encroiable verite
de la structure musical.
vôtre manière de interpréte
Bach- est extraordinaire.
je vous remercie de
tout mon coeur
de votre existence.
vous avez tout compris.
avec tout mon respect pour
vous.
merci beaucoup
Thomas Fischer.
franch
@@luckilylemons Agreed much franch
It's amazing how Glass' music has perhaps the widest door opening for interpretation than any composer I know.
This is so true and also it is the essence of an Etude.
Fabuleuse interprétation, complètement assumée, solide. Merci! :)

I was thinking the same thing. It's as he Glass has discovered a formula for the music he writes just as Bach seems to have done in his time.
Glass's music reminds me of Schubert, not Bach.

Moonlight Sonata. Same concept. Just using pivot chords.
only one word for this GORGEOUS!
Outwardly beautiful ... Thanks for uploading!
I really enjoyed the etude 6 interpretation, very different but makes a lot of sense
Etude N°5. Quel beauté. Quelle tristesse.
The first etude, so little played, is a true masterpiece wonderfully executed here
Love the Etudes!!
So simple and yet inexplicably beautiful and moving.
I just listen to this on repeat.
With out words. Thank you.
6-й этюд абсолютно фантастический
Oh wow! This is unexpected - thank you for posting this!
Glass has become a classic, because beauty creates classics
Suddenly so romantic (Nr. 8) 🙂! I like this interpretation. Through intelligent use of pedal, articulation and dynamics the performer adds variety and emotion to Glass' repetitive and kind of mechanical style.
That's called "playing the music".
If you listen deeply enough, it's not repetitive. It's like an evolving mandala. It's all in the micro details. That's Glass.
yeah this hit me hard, to the point of crying
fantastic
you know this
Anton B great!

my goodness you really get it! love this!
the flow and power and emotion is all there. just, so well played!
please try to transpose Glass Violin 2nd
musique et interpétation: un délice!
Just fantastic performance! Thanks for sharing!!
Really beautiful!
Spoiler alert. Google shows its lack of class by inserting ads in the middle of the piece.
Etude 6 ...
I'm currently learning the first piece in this video. It's a really beautiful piece and hope to improve my playing
amazing ^.^ thank you from Brasil ^.^
❤
It’s hard to trust a person, while the music gives you a moment to relieve and secure yourself, it’s fine
Incredible number of ads. As best I can tell, a fabulous bit of music.
Very intellectual performer. He has conversations with all his works.
The Music of Philip Glass is amazing.
Tank you for share it with us.
It struck me that Pink Floyd uses a lot of this type of schema.
Wonderful!!
Excellent playing and sound quality !!! Superb, really .
Je me suis amusée à liker et à reliker pour voir si par hasard... je ne pourrais pas surliker ;p
Un "j'aime" est si faible pour Philip Glass. Alors je vous laisse faire le reste !
que lindo
Interesting. He manages to make #3 sound almost more Reich-like than Glass-like ☺️
Brought Prokofiev 7th Sonata, 3rd mvmt to mind
¿Alguien sabe dónde puedo conseguir Distant Figure interpretada por Batagov?
Wonderful performance.
Coeur sur vous! Heart on you!
❤w13h
Incredible.
Great
❤❤❤
Sehr sensible Interpretation. Das kommt der Musik entgegen.
Do you know where he got the sheet music?
It's publicly available - I purchased it on amazon.com -- just look for the Glass Etudes ca 2017
the sheet music shop
nice background music
too fast
as Mozart said to Salieri, "...and the rest is just the same right?"
While I love Glass' music and I think that calling him repetitive is a cheap shot and misses the point, I think your joke was great.
@@vassman1 I understand Glass based his inspiration on Gamelan from Bali and Java. That fine music need not be based on a song based structure etc. .
Did Mozart mean the music or the life? Glass (whom I ignored for forty years) puts you in the sacred now. Nothing to do with linear time.
@@markantrobus8782 The joke is from the movie "Amadeus" (see ua-cam.com/video/DAumfGJcEq4/v-deo.html), where a fictionalised Mozart belittles Salieri's music.
a big bore.
muslit: Then why are you here?
Much like yourself.
@@flanderette He is here for the same reason that you are...to comment.
Or do you restrict comments to only those that praise?
@@renzo6490 That is not a real comment. A real comment would have been welcome.
Can you upload playing this in 2023? Youre already the best version of Etude 6 you will ever find on youtubes :D I wanna see how youve improved it!
