A pesar de su título, este álbum es cualquier cosa menos una loca carrera. De hecho, cualquier oyente que busque relajarse y familiarizarse con la mejor música de Philip Glass se verá impresionado por la belleza y el magnetismo de las obras que componen este trabajo. Jeroen van Veen, consumado intérprete y compositor minimalista ha profundizado en el lado menos conocido de la producción de Philip Glass, para reunir en este doble LP, un gran y variado repertorio. Beginning with Metamorphosis, a piece made up of five sections that comprise beautifully subtle transformations, and ending with Mad Rush, less mad than the energetic Metamorphosis, the release also includes musical excerpts from the film The Hours the score for which Glass won the Best Film Music BAFTA in 2002. The American composer has had an unusual career, eschewing traditional paths of classical music to incorporate more exotic elements into his work, such as patterns and rhythms drawn from traditional Indian music. He is now one of the most successful minimalist composers of our time, crossing a wide variety of traditional genres with his music for film and TV as well as the concert hall. This LP release is essentially an abbreviated, or best of, version of Van Veens recent 3CD compilation devoted to Glasss music, Solo Piano Music (9419). Brilliant Classics is proud to present this updated release as part of its new line of vinyl albums, which make up the very best of modern classical music. Jeroen van Veen, described as the leading exponent of Minimalism in Holland today (Fanfare), is an ardent fan of Glasss works, believing this repertoire to be the perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with the composers style.
