With his radical reductions to repetitive motifs and rhythms, he creates a kind of trance-like effect that only a few can escape. His music has long been familiar to everyone - especially when Glass, as in the case of his first symphony, used three songs by David Bowie from his album “Low.” At the time, Glass was already 55 years old, and his first instrumental concerto, the Violin Concerto No. 1, had also been written just a few years earlier. But “age” is quite relative, and Philip Glass, who is celebrating his 80th birthday in 2017, still composes music that attracts old and young, establishment and underground alike.

Januar 2017 feiert mit Philip Glass eine Ikone der Gegenwartsmusik den 80. Geburtstag. Mit seiner hochpoetischen wie ungemein energetischen Musik hat er auch Generationen von Musikern aus Pop und Rock beeinflusst. Dass gerade das Klavierschaffen von Glass in den vergangenen Jahren fulminante Züge angenommen hat, verdankt sich nicht zuletzt dem Klavier-Festival Ruhr. So komponierte Glass im Auftrag des Festivals die „Four Movements for Two Pianos“, die 2008 von Dennis Russell Davies und Maki Namekawa uraufgeführt wurden. Seitdem haben Davies & Namekawa ihren Ruf als die vielleicht besten Glass-Spezialisten weltweit untermauert. 2014 kam es zu einem musikhistorischen Abend, als Philip Glass als Dritter im Bunde am Klavier Platz nahm. Gemeinsam feiern wir seinen runden Geburtstag und ehren die drei Künstler mit dem Preis des Klavier-Festivals Ruhr 2017.

The oratorio is composed in 11 movements in two parts. It is framed by extended, celebratory choral movements, which set the perfect joyful tone to kick off the 80th Carmel Bach Festival. Philip Glass shares the same birth year as the Bach Festival, and we pay tribute to the great composer through a performance of his Concerto Grosso. Each movement of the piece is written for a select section of the orchestra – the woodwinds, brass, and strings – in the composer’s distinctive minimalist style. Purcell’s Birthday Ode for Queen Mary was composed in 1694 in honor of Queen Mary II of England’s birthday. It is the sixth such birthday ode and was completed shortly before Queen Mary’s death. The piece is set in nine movements and features soprano, counter tenor and bass soloists. This is high Baroque, ceremonial music with a brilliant orchestra and virtuoso singing that radiates pure bliss. The opening program concludes with the final two choruses from Handel’s masterpiece, the Messiah. If you enjoyed the final Amen chorus from C.P.E. Bach’s Magnificat in the 2016 Festival, you will love the extended fugal “Amen” that closes the Messiah, one of the most famous and popular pieces in Western music. These are the first performances of selections from the Messiah by the Bach Festival in 15 years. The Opening Night concert is followed by a celebratory champagne reception on the Sunset Center Terrace.

Naturalmente suddiviso in Book 1 e Book 2, in base al corso della sua composizione, “20 Etudes” segue il percorso evolutivo e musicale di Glass, tracciando un netto distacco tra Book 1 (più tecnico e strutturato) e Book 2 (più spontaneo ed armonico). In occasione degli ottanta anni di Philip Glass, uno speciale concerto evento dove la grande icona della musica contemporanea, maestro del minimalismo e delle sue evoluzioni, suonerà accompagnato da Dennis Russel Davies, Maki Namekawa, Roberto Esposito, Viviana Lasaracina. Nato a Baltimora, Maryland, Philip Glass si laurea all’Università di Chicago ed alla Juilliard School. Agli inizi degli anni Sessanta Glass dedica anima e corpo in due anni di studi intensivi a Parigi, accompagnato da Nadia Boulanger, con la quale comincia a guadagnare i primi soldi trascrivendo la musica indiana di Ravi Shankar su pentagramma. Nel 1974 Glass attraversa una fase molto produttiva e creativa, dando vita a progetti innovativi e ad una larga collezione di nuove musiche per The Philip Glass Ensemble e per la Mabou Mines Theater Company. Questo periodo produttivo culmina in “Music in Twelve Parts” e nell’opera monumentale “Einstein On The Beach”, che vede la collaborazione di Robert Wilson. Ed è proprio con quest’ultima composizione che Glass espande il suo repertorio musicale avvicinandosi all’opera, alla dance, al teatro, alla musica da camera, orchestrale e da film. Le sue colonne sonore hanno ricevuto molte nomination agli Academy Award (“Kundun”, “The Hours”, “Notes On A Scandal”) e ai Golden Globe (“The Truman Show”). Negli ultimi anni, numerose sono state le composizioni rivelate, compresa un’opera dedicata alla morte di Walt Disney, “The Perfect American” (commissionata dal Teatro madrileno Real e dalla English National Opera), la “song cycle” “Ifé”, scritta per Angelique Kidjo, una rivisitazione di “Einstein” e la pubblicazione delle memorie di Glass, “Words Without Music” ad opera di Liveright Books. Nel maggio 2015 la Filarmonica di Los Angeles, diretta da Gustavo Dudamel, ha performato in anteprima mondiale il doppio concerto che Glass scrisse per Katia e Marielle Labèque. Nel novembre 2016 la Washington National Opera ha riproposto in anteprima la versione rivisitata dell’opera di Glass “Appomattox”, in collaborazione con il librettista Christopher Hampton. Philipp Glass ha recentemente festeggiato a fine gennaio l’ottantesimo compleanno, suonando, per la prima volta, la sua 11° Sinfonia. See more details •
