| Naxos | A founder member of the 'Minimalist' group of composers, Philip Glass is one of the innovative American composers working in the second half of the 20th century. The repeated rhythms, using small cells of music, create fascinating sound patterns, illuminated with brilliant shafts of tonal colours. Glass's third opera, Akhnaten, dealing with life in Ancient Egypt, is among the outstanding stage works of our time. Three years later, in1987, Glass completed the Violin Concerto, a score that combines the soloist's lyric quality with an orchestral backdrop of iridescent shimmering textures. By contrast Company is a dark work in four short movements that was composed for a staged soliloquy on the subject of death. |
