Glass the Romantic
American composer Philip Glass has rarely if ever been accused of being a romantic. But in his evolution as a composer, it's only natural that he should explore the more emotional and passionate side of his music. On today's show we'll hear the world premiere performance of Glass' beautiful new violin sonata, featuring violinist Maria Bachmann and pianist Jon Klibonoff. With this work, Bachmann appropriately labels Glass a romantic, perhaps for the first time.
