GLASS, PHILIP	Solo Piano	LP	CLASSICAL MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 007LP
$37.00 IN STOCK "With Solo Piano, Glass presents himself 'unplugged' -- no electronic keyboards or synthesizers, and no overdubs, either -- just solo piano. 'Metamorphosis' was written in 1988 and takes its name from a play based on Kafka's short story. Its second track, 'Metamorphosis Two', formed the basis of one of the main musical themes in the film The Hours. It is also the song that the American rock band Pearl Jam uses as their introduction music to concerts. 'Mad Rush' was written for the occasion of the Dalai Lama's first visit in New York City. 'Wichita Vortex Sutra' is the result of a chance meeting between two long-time friends, Glass and poet Allen Ginsberg, in a bookstore in the East Village. 'We decided on the spot to do something together, reached for one of Allen's books, and chose the poem 'Wichita Vortex Sutra'.'"

GLASS, PHILIP	Glassworks (Clear Vinyl)	LP	CLASSICAL MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 008COL-LP
$35.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL Clear vinyl. "Philip Glass is an American composer. His music is considered to be minimal music, although he himself uses the term theater music. Glassworks was originally released in 1982. The album is a six-part chamber music work by Philip Glass. After his larger-scale concert and stage works, Glassworks was Philip Glass's successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented 'Walkman-appropriate' work, with significantly shorter and more accessible pieces written for the recording studio. In fact, the cover of the cassette release stated that it was 'mixed especially for your personal cassette player'."

GLASS, PHILIP	Akhnaten	3LP BOX	CLASSICAL MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 056LP
$81.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Akhnaten is the third in the composer Philip Glass' trilogy of operas about men who changed the world in which they lived through the power of their ideas. Akhnaten's subject is religion. Its title was derived from the Egyptian pharaoh Akhnaten, who was the first monotheist in recorded story. His substitution of a one-god religion for the multi-god worship when he came to power ultimately resulted in his exclusion from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs, and his legacy became all but lost to history until the late 19th century. The opera describes the rise, reign, and fall of Akhnaten in a series of tableaus. 180 gram vinyl. Deluxe lift-off box set. Includes 16-page libretto booklet. The third in Glass' thematically related Portrait trilogy, along with Einstein On The Beach and Satyagraha."

GLASS, PHILIP	Itaipu: The Canyon	CD	MUSIC ON CD	MOCCD 14024CD
$15.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Itaipu is a place between Brazil and Paraguay and hosts a large hydro-electric dam. This album is a work of massive proportions much like the creation of the Itaipu dam. On this work Glass makes good use of a heavy brass section combined with a large chorus and is around 40 minutes in length, spread over four movements. The extensive choral work is written in the language of the Giuranni Indians. Glass often chooses obscure languages for the effect of distance. This is a powerful pair of compositions and it is a good coupling on this recording. On the opener 'Itaipu' and the closing track 'The Canyon' the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and chorus with Robert Shaw do a truly grand job of performance. It's a superb Glass work and a real classic of the '90s."

GLASS, PHILIP	Dance Nos. 1-5	3LP	CLASSICAL MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 057LP
$58.00 NOT IN STOCK "The music on Dance Nos. 1-5 was originally conceived as a three-way collaboration between composer Philip Glass, choreographer Lucinda Childs and artist Sol LeWitt. Dance received its world premiere in Amsterdam on October 19, 1979 and its New York premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on November 29, 1979. Post-dating Einstein on the Beach -- Glass's 1975-76 collaboration with director Robert Wilson -- Dance was another Glass collaboration, this time with choreographer Lucinda Childs, known for her austere, a thematically exact dances, and artist Sol LeWitt, who provided a ghostly, gigantic black-and-white film for several of the piece's five sections. Dance has an abstract purity that easily earned it the label 'minimalist,' a term that Glass himself disavows but that seems appropriate, at least in this case. After Dance, Glass's music took several turns, not so much in style as in the various new contexts in which it was presented: major opera commissions and film scores led him to write for forces other than those of the Philip Glass Ensemble. At the same time, an attempt to reach a wide audience resulted in some shorter, perhaps more accessible, narrative pieces. Dance marked the blossoming of the composer's experimental work. Here, though, the music - particularly Dance Nos. '1', '3' and '5', all written for the Ensemble -- has an unforgettable exuberance that somehow speaks all at once of joyful innocence, intense erotic desire, tenderness, regret and, finally, acceptance. On the other hand, Dance Nos. '2' and '4' see Glass composing several large-scale works for solo organ; for instance, Dance No. 2 originated as a 1978 work entitled Fourth Series Part Two. This piece, later incorporated into Dance, and Dance No. '4' as well, have a more subdued, more darkly romantic quality than the work's other sections and are quite unlike anything Glass had previously written. Still, they too, with their mysterious tilts of time and key signatures, continue the exploration of polyrhythms and harmonic complexities within the context of Glass's repetitive, 'minimalist' style. The complete Dance Nos. 1-5 album is now available on vinyl for the first time in its entirety on a 3LP-set with five sides of music. The 3 LPs are housed in a heavyweight sleeve."

GLASS, PHILIP	Itaipu/Canyon	2LP	CLASSICAL MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 058LP
$45.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Itaipu, written by American composer Philip Glass, were commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Along with The Light (1987), they marked Glass's continuation of a symphonic trilogy of 'portraits of nature' as he had recently turned to making orchestral music. The composition pays a beautiful homage to the Itaipu Dam, which is the world's largest hydroelectric dam built on the Parana River between Paraguay and Brazil. The text was written in Guarani, and translated by Daniela Thomas. The piece was first performed in 1989. This LP also includes The Canyon on the D-side, which was first performed in 1988 and commissioned by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Itaipu and The Canyon are available on vinyl for the first time.
