Description:

Glass: Solo Piano Music by Philip Glass, released 4 January 2013. This version of Glass: Solo Piano Music comes as a 3xCD. - JEROEN VAN VEEN

This selection of pieces showcases Glass's music for solo piano, with each of the works baring the hallmarks of minimalism. Among the pieces featured in the collection is Metamorphosis, a set of five variations that evolve over the course of the entire work to create a stirring final movement. Also present are extracts from the soundtrack of Stephen Daldry's film The Hours, as well as 'Truman Sleeps' from The Truman Show (which earned Glass a Golden Globe award for 'Best Original Score'). The collection ends with the 'Trilogy' Sonata, containing piano transcriptions of Glass's three 'portrait' operas: Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha and Akhnaten. Recorded 23-28 October 2006, Barbara Church, Culemborg, The Netherlands. A new compilation of the music for piano solo by Philip Glass, icon of minimalism. In his piano music, Glass presents structures of repeated patterns which slowly and gradually, seemingly unconsciously, change in rhythm, speed or form, creating a fascinating sound landscape of slowly shifting colours and patterns. Dutch pianist Jeroen van Veen is a champion of the minimalist piano school. His earlier set of minimalist piano works won rave reviews in the international press.
