Free Music Review: What a nice surprise
Hit: 5 Stars
I had purchased this CD after hearing only 30 seconds, thinking that this would not contain major surprises, but I did not expect it to be so beautiful. The first piece, Days and Nights in Rocinha, is a nice relaxed orchestral work that reminds me of some of Philip's early symphonies. The Persephone tracks that follow are the ones that I really love. Lush choral arrangements. Just beautiful. If you loved the choral parts of the 5th symphony, I think you'll also love this. This CD quickly became one of my favorite Glass CDs. GREAT.
From the Philip Glass Recording Archive, Vol. II: Orchestral Music Poster
This second volume of works features two orchestral scores by composer Philip Glass. The first score, "Days and Nights in Rocinha" (A Dance for Dennis Russell Davies and Orchestra) premiered in Vienna in 1998. The 23 minute work is Philip Glass' homage and musical tribute to a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro where the composer spent many summers. The second work, the 27 minute "Persephone" (TSE), is a five movement work for orchestra and chorus. It was conceived and recorded for Robert Wilson's theater installations of the same name in the mid-1990's.Classical Music CDs
