Episode #3374
Philip Glass: Music of Constant Change
Tuesday, September 04, 2012
On tonight's show, John Schaefer recommends ten records to help skim the surface of music by Philip Glass, as part of Q2 Music's week-long celebration of Philip Glass, "Music of Constant Change." From the album, "Glassworks," to the Qatsi trilogy (three silent films by Godfrey Reggio with scores by Philip Glass) to the song cycle, "Songs from Liquid Days," sample some works that serve as a fine introduction to Philip Glass's hugely influential music. Read about each of these "Essential Recordings" in depth over on Q2 Music's Festival Pages. Also, these works were just the excerpts on the show for radio. To hear each piece in its entirety, try the Spotify playlist.
