Glass, Philip - NYU Steel Plays Philip Glass

SKU 05-OMM 075
This is Philip Glass' Piano Etudes No 1-10 as performed on by an ensemble of steel drums! What a great idea and as soon as I heard about it, I knew it would work; Glass' style is perfect for the steel drum and after hearing the album, I am happy to report that not only was I right, but this is one of the fresher albums by Glass in some years.

"In 1998, percussionist Jonathan Haas commissioned Philip Glass to compose a concerto. The Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpani has turned out to be one of Glass's most frequently performed concert works. Haas worked closely with Josh Quillen and NYU Steel to create the arrangements and recording of Philip Glass' piano Etudes on steel drums. The result is a fantastic re-imagining of Glass' music, giving new light to the color and structure of this very popular repertoire.
