Glassworks - Signal Live At (le) Poisson Rouge

Signal, conducted by Brad Lubman, featuring Michael Riesman

Philip Glass, arranged by Michael Riesman for live performance

As Philip Glass states: "Glassworks was my debut record on an major record label. This music was written for the recording studio, though a number of the pieces soon found their way into the Philip Glass Ensemble repertory. A six-"movement" work, Glassworks was intended to introduce my music to a more general audience than had been familiar with it up to then."

Thirty years later, Glassworks had never been performed live in its entirety in New York City until the fast-riding new music ensemble Signal asked Philip Glass Ensemble music director Michael Riesman to arrange the classic album for live performance. The concert took place at New York's hottest new music venue (le) Poisson Rouge with Riesman and Signal on April 12, 2010 with Brad Lubman conducting. This recording features a new recording of the entire score, also paired with Signal's riveting performance of Glass' early score "Music in Similar Motion."
