PHILIP GLASS AND ITAIPU
THE CANYON - LP
Itaipu', written by American composer Philip Glass, was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Along with The Light (1987), they marked Glass's continuation of a symphonic trilogy of 'portraits of nature' as he had recently turned to making orchestral music. The composition pays a beautiful homage to the Itaipu Dam, which is the world's largest hydro-electric dam built on the Paran? River between Paraguay and Brazil. The text was written in Guaran?, and translated by Daniela Thomas. The piece was first performed in 1989. This LP also includes 'The Canyon' on the D-side, which was first performed in 1988 and commissioned by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Itaipu and The Canyon are available on vinyl for the first time. It comes a in deluxe heavyweight sleeve with gloss laminate, and includes an insert with liner-notes as well as the Philip Glass catalogue with info on the MOV Philip Glass series.
