Philip Glass Tirol Concerto

Here’s my review of Philip Glass “Tirol Concerto”. One of my favorite piece of classical music.

Philip Morris Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American music composer. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the late-20th century and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein) – Wikipedia

Glass’s Tirol Concerto is a three movement music masterpiece.

• First movement is very “classical” with light influences of 1600’s music. Beautiful piano with just a hint of strings.
• The second movement is like a wide and long river. It flows you slowly and graciously (the music is mostly strings but beautifully complimented by piano)
• The third one is very spontaneous and jazzy. Sometimes you can hear Rachmaninoff’s influence. Sometimes it just bursts out with wild energy
