Description:

Celebrating His 90th BirthdayA highly anticipated album that fully captures the appeal of works by Philip Glass, the master of minimalist music, through the celloTo commemorate the 90th birthday of minimalist music maestro Philip Glass in 2027, Paris-based cellist Camille Thomas is releasing the album *Philip Glass: FORCELLO* on Deutsche Grammophon. This deeply personal project began with a special connection between the two artists. The inspiration for this album came when Glass, deeply impressed by Tomas recordings, gave her the scores for his two cello concertos. From the wild and poetic expressiveness of Concerto No. 1 to the personal reinterpretation of No. 2, inspired by the film *Nakoikazzi*, Toma has brought fresh attention to these rarely performed works. The album also features Glasss iconic film scores, including memorable arrangements from *The Hours* and *The Truman S
