Description:

Philip Glass created a unique musical style by weaving together American culture and history. This album centers on the piano solo version of his Piano Concerto No. 2one of his most lyrical and meditative worksand the mysterious piece ASecretSolo2, which has never been recorded before. Nicholas Holbert, a masterful interpreter who has brought the world of Glasss works to life throughout this series, once again explores the essence of these pieces with his incisive interpretation. The program for WICHITAVORTEXSUTRA has been carefully curated to include not only the original composition but also a version featuring a recitation of text by poet Allen Ginsberga close friend of Glasss with whom he frequently collaborated.Naxos Japan
