Portraits - Piano Music of Glass, Ravel, Satie & Messiaen
Philip Glass’ A Musical Portrait of Chuck Close is the culmination of many years of friendship between two of the most important artists of our time. Pianist Bruce Levingston’s performance serves as a tribute to the profound influences Philip Glass and Chuck Close have had upon one another’s work. Since meeting in the 1960’s in the Soho Artists community in New York, Close has continually created portraits of Glass. The piece, written for solo piano, is a depiction of the spirit of Close and a tribute to the integrity his process of creating art. This recording also showcases musical portraits by three French masters, Ravel, Messiaen, and Satie, whose work s influenced generations of composers and which are played with rich delicacy and Mr. Levingston’s graceful touch.
