Philip Glass
Не классика, строго говоря.
1989 Solo Piano
To Philip Glass, piano music is something intimate. It was not an accident that his first CBS album, Glassworks, which was designed as an introduction to his music, began with solo piano. Though Glass characterizes much of the music on his recording as romantic, his performances are not in the virtuoso concert-hall tradition of Liszt or Rachmaninoff. Rather they might be viewed as part of the fading American tradition of the piano as a familiar, shared experience of simple, tuneful music.
Metamorphosis was written in 1988 and takes its name from a play based on Kafka’s short story.
Mad Rush was written for the occasion of the Dalai Lama’s first public address in New York City, in the fall of 1981.
Wichita Sutra Vortex is the result of a chance meeting between two long-time friends, Glass and poet Allen Ginsberg, in St. Mark’s Books, a popular bookstore in the East Village.
In contrast to the amplified, electronic nature of his ensemble music and the mammoth proportions of his operas, the music on this album displays Glass in a more refined musical arena, still exploring his own distinctive style.
