Piano Works 1 - Opening from Glassworks / Dreaming
Philip Glass, best known for a series of innovative works for the stage and, prior to that, a sequence of groundbreaking scores for his own ensemble of electric keyboards, wind instruments and voices, has made an immense and stylistically wide-ranging contribution to piano repertoire. The Orphee Suite, a transcription of excerpts from the first opera in Glass' Cocteau Trilogy, is one of his most distinctive piano pieces, blending virtuosity and melodic richness. In contrast, the hypnotic How Now is structurally influenced by Indian ragas and gamelan music, whilst Dreaming Awake contains one of the most powerful climaxes in all Glass' works. Performed by Nicolas Horvath, a Scriabin Competition first prize winner, this is the first release in the complete Glass solo piano edition, which will include many premieres.
