Rough Trade Essential

American composer and musician, Philip Glass, was born on January 31, 1937 in Baltimore, Maryland. He studied music with notable figures such as Vincent Pershichetti, Darius Milhaud, and Nadia Boulanger. Glass's perspective on composition changed after collaborating with Ravi Shankar in 1966. In 1968, he founded the Philip Glass Ensemble to perform his own music and later started Chatham Square Production in 1971 to release his work.
Throughout his career, Glass has made significant contributions to the world of contemporary classical music. His unique style blends elements of minimalism with complex rhythmic patterns and repetitive structures. With a prolific output spanning across various genres including opera, film scores, symphonies, and chamber music, Glass has established himself as one of the most influential composers of our time.

With Solo Piano, Glass presents himself 'unplugged', no electronic keyboards or synthesizers, and no overdubs, either - just solo piano. 'Metamorphosis' was written in 1988 and takes its name from a play based on Kafka's short story. Its second track, 'Metamorphosis Two', formed the basis of one of the main musical themes in the film 'The Hours'. It is also the song that the American rock band Pearl Jam uses as their introduction music to concerts. 'Mad Rush' was written for the occasion of the Dalai Lama's first visit in New York City. 'Wichita Vortex Sutra' is the result of a chance meeting between two long-time friends, Glass and poet Allen Ginsberg, in a bookstore in the East Village.'We decided on the spot to do something together, reached for one of Allen's books, and chose the poem 'Wichita Vortex Sutra'.&nbsp;
