"Five Stars ... somehow, the objectivity of the sound of a piano suits the music of Philip Glass perfectly. Certainly that’s how it seems in Nicolas Horvath’s expert performances ..."
- International Piano
"... important because it demonstrates that Glass’s music works quite nicely alongside other composers of the past and alongside quite traditional approaches to performance generally."
- American Record Guide
Scriabin Competition first prize winner Nicolas Horvath presents this first volume in a complete series of Philip Glass solo piano works, including several world premieres. Glass has made an immense and stylistically wide-ranging contribution to piano repertoire such as the centrepiece of this album, The Orphée Suite. One of his most distinctive piano pieces, it blends virtuosity with melodic richness. In contrast, the hypnotic How Now is structurally influenced by Indian ragas and gamelan music while Dreaming Awake contains one of the most powerful climaxes in all of Glass’s compositions.
