They are releasing a new album, a 2-CD set, featuring the music of the American composer, Philip Glass. Following the highly acclaimed recording of the opera \"Horrible Children\" in 2020, the remaining two operas, \"Orphée\" and \"Beauty and the Beast,\" are now included on this new album, a trilogy of operas composed by this American composer between 1993 and 1996 based on the films of French artist Jean Cocteau. The two works have been arranged for piano duo for Katia and Marielle by Glass' musical director, Michael Riesman. Philip Glass moved to Paris in 1964, at the age of 27, to study with Nadia Boulanger. Their meeting was decisive for the young Glass, who absorbed French culture and left a deep impression on him in the years that followed.His love of France and his mastery of the French language led him to write an opera dedicated to Cocteau in the 1990s. When I began work on the Cocteau trilogy, the idea that first influenced my work was to draw out the underlying themes of the three films. They are a pair of opposites, clearly expressed: first, life and death and creativity, and second, the ordinary world and transformation, the magical world. These themes are central to all three films and are presented in the films. The transformation of a single ...... person, i.e., one person's moral and personal dilemma, rather than a whole people or society, is at the center of the project. Accompanying this is how magic and art are used to transform the ordinary world into the transcendent. There are discussions, depictions and lessons about creativity and the creative process in these three Cocteau films.\"--Philip Glass, Universal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DG Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48252926755105,"sku":"028948753697","price":741.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/028948753697.jpg?v=1709789874","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-th\/products\/028948753697","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
