original notes:
--
"One of the most prolific, influential and instantly
identifiable composers of our age, Philip Glass made
an impact on the course of 20th-century music with his
pioneering "minimalist" scores, going on to write major
film scores – from "Koyaanisqatsi" and "Kundun"
to "The TrumanShow" and "The Hours"
– and innumerable dance, theatre
and operatic works.
"In the first Prom ever devoted exclusively to Philip
Glass's music, his first major orchestral score, the
1987 Violin Concerto, is played by Gidon Kremer, who
made the premiere recording, and conducted by Dennis
Russell Davies, a long-term champion of Glass's music.
"Premiered in 2004, the "Toltec Symphony" takes its title
from the ancient pre-Columbian culture that reigned in
Mesoamerica long before the coming of the Europeans,
though vestiges of it still survive among the indigenous
peoples of Mexico today"
