Nicolas Horvath PHILIP GLASS Glassworlds 3 - Metamorphosis

This programme reverses time, revealing the metamorphosis in Glass’ work from his 1980s film and theatre transcriptions, through The Olympian composed for the Los Angeles Olympiad, to rarities such as the dream-like Coda. The Trilogy Sonata highlights Glass’ renowned operas from the celebratory Akhnaten Dance to the stately Satyagraha and landmark Einstein on the Beach. The dazzling pulse-patterns of Two Pages make it a milestone of minimalism, while the Sonatina No. 2 is a pre-minimalist work composed under the influence of Darius Milhaud.
