Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3

菲利普-格拉斯在当代作曲家中享有不同寻常的知名度。作为纳迪娅-布朗热的学生，他还受到印度西塔琴演奏家拉维-尚卡尔的影响，并作为极简主义的代表人物赢得了声誉。在规模宏大的《第二交响曲》和规模较小的《第三交响曲》（为室内乐团而作）中，格拉斯以自己的方式回归了他在茱莉亚音乐学院的根基，写出了多重奏、振奋人心的终曲和完整的交响乐段落。这些作品在范围、结构和严肃性上都是真正的交响乐"

原文简介:
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.
