MINIMAL
PHILIP GLASS TRIBUTE

CONCIERTO A DOS PIANOS
Alborada Moreno / Ignacio Torner

Philip Glass cuenta en sus memorias que tuvo que trabajar en una fábrica de clavos, haciendo mudanzas, de taxista y de fontanero, hasta que su música empezó a ser conocida.  Padre del Minimalismo, ha sabido sacar la música culta de su ataúd y acercarla al público de las músicas populares.  Su obra Four Movements for two pianos (2008) resume su mundo sonoro en armonías que se enlazan y forman bloques de extraordinaria densidad.  Autor de óperas, sinfonías y bandas sonoras, Glass es uno de los compositores vivos más importantes del mundo.  Acompañan este tributo a su figura, obras de otros compositores cercanos a su estética.

Philip Glass mentions in his memories how he had to work in a factory, making movings, as a taxi driver and as a plummer, until his music started to be known.  Father of Minimalism, he kwew how to put classical music close to pop music lovers.  His work Four Movements for Two Pianos, from 2008, is a synthesis of his musical language, with blocks of interacting harmonies of extraordinary density.  He composed operas, symphonies and music for films.  Glass is one of the most important live composers worldwide.  This tribute includes pieces of other composers closer to his musical language.
