Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3

菲力浦-格拉斯在當代作曲家中享有不同尋常的知名度。作為納迪婭-布朗熱的學生，他還受到印度西塔琴演奏家拉維-尚卡爾的影響，並作為極簡主義的代表人物贏得了聲譽。在規模宏大的《第二交響曲》和規模較小的《第三交響曲》（為室內樂團而作）中，格拉斯以自己的方式回歸了他在茱莉亞音樂學院的根基，寫出了多重奏、振奮人心的終曲和完整的交響樂段落。這些作品在範圍、結構和嚴肅性上都是真正的交響樂"

原文簡介:
Philip Glass has enjoyed a degree of popularity unusual among contemporary composers. A pupil of Nadia Boulanger, he was also influenced by the Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar and has won a reputation as an exponent of minimalism, based on the systematic reptition of a motif, modified or extended. In both the epically-proportioned Second Symphony and the smaller scale Third Symphony (for chamber orchestra), Glass returns, in his own way, to his roots at the Juilliard School, writing polyharmonies, rousing finales, and fully formed symphonic paragraphs. They are true symphonies in scope, structure, and seriousness of purpose.
