Philip Glass: Heroes Symphony & Low Symphony

SKU: 02470

Price:
AU $27.22

Label: Philips 2-for-1 Cat. No.: 475 075-2 Medium: CD No. Discs: 2

This 2 x mid-price CD collection is a coupling of two of Philip Glass's most famous orchestral compositions, The Low Symphony and the Heroes Symphony, both based on the music of David Bowie and Brian Eno.

It has been 26 years since the recording of the legendary David Bowie and Brian Eno albums Low and Heroes (recorded 1977). Both of these albums utilised experimental techniques and were landmark works of the period. Philip Glass took the instrumentals from these albums and experimented further. He says: "I've taken themes from three of the instrumentals on the record and, combining them with material of my own, have used them as the basis of three movements of the Symphony. Movement one comes from Subterraneans, movement two from Some Are and movement three from Warszawa. My approach was to treat the themes very much as if they were my own and allow their transformations to follow my own compositional bent when possible. In practice, however, Bowie and Eno's music certainly influenced how I worked, leading me to sometimes surprising musical conclusions. In the end I think I arrived at something of a real collaboration between my music and theirs."
