Today is Philip Glass’s birthday - he’s 85!
I decided to celebrate this special date by performing the Solo Piano album, which was recorded back in 1989. Actually, thanks to this recording, I got acquainted with his music.
I have repeatedly performed and recorded all the works from Solo Piano - all these recordings are here on my youtube channel.
But never before have I played them all together in the exact order in which they were recorded by Glass himself. And with great pleasure I took advantage of today‘s special occasion.
So here we go - Solo Piano, re-created by me:
1. Metamorphosis One – 00:00
2. Metamorphosis Two – 06:42
3. Metamorphosis Three – 13:14
4. Metamorphosis Four – 18:23
5. Metamorphosis Five – 24:23
6. Mad Rush – 30:07
7. Wichita Vortex Sutra – 44:14
