Philip Morris Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American music composer. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the late-20th century and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein) – Wikipedia

Glass’s Tirol Concerto is a three movement music masterpiece.

• First movement is very “classical” with light influences of 1600’s music. Beautiful piano with just a hint of strings.
• The second movement is like a wide and long river. It flows you slowly and graciously (the music is mostly strings but beautifully complimented by piano)
• The third one is very spontaneous and jazzy. Sometimes you can hear Rachmaninoff’s influence. Sometimes it just bursts out with wild energy
