GLASS PHILIP/DANCEPIECES

Descripción

GLASSPIECES WAS ORIGINALLY PERFORMED IN 1983 IN THE UPPER ROOM SUITE PREMIERED IN 1986 AND BOTH ACCOMPANIED A BALLET PERFORMANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN FIND THE ENSEMBLE VERSION OF THE FUNERAL FROM AKHENATEN WHICH WAS A SHOW-STOPPER FROM GLASSS ENSEMBLE CONCERTS OF THE MID-80S. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MUSICIANS ON BOTH PIECES AND IN THE UPPER ROOM INCLUDES CONDUCTOR MICHAEL RIESMAN ON PIANO AND SYNTHESIZERS. IN ADDITION TO THE KEYBOARDIST THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STRING BRASS AND WOODWIND PLAYERS. ALTHOUGH NEARLY ALL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC THE ADDITIONAL VOICE (DORA OHRENSTEIN) ON BOTH PIECES GIVES THIS WORKS A VERY NICE TOUCH.
