Опубликовано: 11 февр. 2014 г.Following Glass's early operas, the conductor Dennis Russell Davies had been urging the composer to write more orchestral pieces, and the concerto marks Glass's first full-scale venture into non-theatrical orchestral composing.Glass's original concept was for a five-movement work, and Zukofsky requested a slow, high finale. As the composition process developed, however, Glass decided that five movements were too many and settled for a more conventional three-movement format. According to Glass, this traditional structure was not a concession to formality but simply a result of the work finding «a voice of its own» as the first and second movements developed into longer pieces than he had originally conceived. The work was composed with Glass's father, Ben, in mind, despite the latter's death some sixteen years earlier: «I wrote the piece in 1987 thinking, let me write a piece that my father would have liked. A very smart nice man who had no education in music whatsoever, but the kind of person who fills up concert halls. It's popular, it's supposed to be — it's for my Dad.»
Опубликовано: 15 нояб. 2014 г.In memory of our friend, Josef Trávníček (23.5.1970 — 9.11.2014)
— great teacher, follower of Comenius way (educating while playing), who was easily able to get attention and interest of his students at any time, showing them history of their own district, city, region, country and the whole world in the way they would love to see — in context… with accent on culture, folklore and true traditions.
This is my condolence to his family — my very good friends.
