Philip Glass is one of the most important pioneers of American minimal music and scores for for well-known films such as The Illusionist, The Truman Show, Fantastic Four and Cassandra's Dream. This beautifully produced photobook is a portrait of the life and work of the famous pianist and composer.
In 2010, the Austrian photographer Bitesnich met the composer Philip Glass together with the conductor and long-time friend Dennis Russel Davies and was immediately fascinated by the musician. A close friendship developed between the three. For five years he accompanied the composer on concerts and tours and recorded these journeys and performances in his photographs. During this time, he was also a guest in Glass's private New York flat and was allowed to photograph the composer in his most private surroundings.
The result is an intimate portrait of Philip Glass as a musician, which is here available to all his admirers in this unique coffee table book. The format and cover are reminiscent of a record cover, the photographs used are mostly in black and white and technically perfect. You can feel the reverence that Bitesnich has for Glass, speaking to the viewer from these pictures.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a non-mint item due to very slight damage to the corners. See final image for example.
