{"product_id":"wagner-vanessa-philip-glass-figures-of-glass-piano-etudes-edits","title":"Wagner, Vanessa, Philip Glass - Figures Of Glass: Piano Etudes - Edits","description":"With \u003ci\u003eFigures Of Glass: Piano Etudes - Edits\u003c\/i\u003e, Vanessa Wagner offers a new listening perspective on Philip Glass’s Piano Études, shaping a curated selection of edited versions drawn from her acclaimed recording of the complete cycle. These edits do not alter the substance of the works; rather, they refine their temporal focus, revealing their emotional force with renewed clarity.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nConceived in parallel with Figures of Glass, a hybrid project developed with visual arts collective Scale, the release extends a dialogue between piano and light, sound and space. Between piano and light, Vanessa Wagner interprets Glass’s Études at the heart of a scenographic installation, exploring the visual imagination embedded in the composer’s music. Minimal structures become spatial gestures; repetition opens onto perception, colour, and resonance. Taken together, these edits form a coherent arc through Glass’s language: from tension and propulsion to suspension and introspection, from rhythmic urgency to contemplative stillness. Wagner’s approach is marked by precision, restraint, and a deep attention to resonance, allowing each piece to unfold with an assumed expressive sobriety.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFigures of Glass also exists as a live creation, presented for the first time in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on April 7, 2026. In both recorded and staged forms, the project invites contemporary listening contexts — from focused headphone listening to immersive visual environments — while reaffirming the Piano Études as a major landmark of 21st-century repertoire. Bridging modern classical piano, minimalist writing, and spatial listening formats, Figures of Glass (Piano Etudes – Edits) speaks equally to traditional classical audiences and new listeners discovering Philip Glass through curated, editorial-driven experiences.","brand":"Infiné","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50994802295062,"sku":"RMX-61383","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/7e69490d065b1639a97c3870e3761d21.jpg?v=1769613233","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/wagner-vanessa-philip-glass-figures-of-glass-piano-etudes-edits","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
