Description:� Limited 40th Anniversary Edition von 2.500 nummerierten LPs auf Crystal Clear Vinyl � Audiophiles 180g Vinyl � Beinhaltet sechs Stücke, die wesentlich Pop-orientierter, deutlich kürzer sind und dadurch einen leichteren Zugang für ein breiteres Publikum bieten als seine früheren Werke � Philip Glass ist ein amerikanischer Komponist. Seine Musik wird als Minimal Music bezeichnet, obwohl er selbst den Begriff Theatermusik verwendet. Glassworks wurde ursprünglich im Jahr 1982 veröffentlicht. Das Album ist ein sechsteiliges Kammermusikwerk. Nach seinen gro� angelegten Konzert- und Bühnenwerken war Glassworks Philip Glass' erfolgreicher Versuch, ein eher pop-orientiertes, "Walkman-gerechtes" Werk zu schaffen, mit deutlich kürzeren und zugänglicheren Stücken, die für das Aufnahmestudio geschrieben wurden. Auf dem Cover der Kassette hei�t es sogar, dass das Werk "speziell für Ihren persönlichen Kassettenspieler gemischt" wurde. Glassworks ist als 40. Jubiläumsausgabe in einer Auflage von 2500 einzeln nummerierten Exemplaren auf Crystal Clear Vinyl. -

"Glassworks" by Philip Glass is a landmark CD in contemporary classical music, presenting one of the composer's most accessible and iconic works. Conceived in the early 1980s as a piece "for the recording studio," this album offers a perfect introduction to Glass's minimalist style: repetitive rhythmic patterns, evolving harmonic fields, and a hypnotic sense of flow that gradually unfolds with emotional intensity. The tracks are carefully structured so the music can be enjoyed in one sitting, creating a cohesive listening experience that moves between meditative calm and subtle dramatic tension.

This CD is particularly suited for listeners who are curious about minimalism, film music aficionados who recognize Glass's distinctive sound, and anyone looking for sophisticated yet approachable modern classical music. The clean production highlights the clarity of the instrumental lines and the transparency of Glass's compositional language, making the album ideal both for focused listening and as an atmospheric backdrop for reading, working, or quiet evenings.

Philip Glass is one of the most influential composers of the late 20th and early 21st century. A key figure of musical minimalism, he has written operas, symphonies, chamber music, solo works, and numerous celebrated film scores. His music for films such as "Koyaanisqatsi," "The Hours," and "Notes on a Scandal" has earned international acclaim and multiple award nominations, and his stage works are performed in major opera houses and concert halls worldwide. With "Glassworks," he reached a broader audience and helped shape the way contemporary classical music is perceived by the general public.

The manufacturer MANUELL! C presents this CD in a carefully produced edition that focuses on faithful sound reproduction and a straightforward, listener-friendly presentation. The production emphasizes durability and clarity, offering a reliable disc for collectors and newcomers alike. MANUELL! C is positioned as a label that values curated repertoire and solid manufacturing standards, giving this important work by Philip Glass a fitting physical form in the CD format.
