Glass: a Portrait of Philip in 12 Parts
Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Philip Glass for a newspaper article about an upcoming concert of his. His publicist was kind enough to send me his number, and I got hold of him in Houston, where he was to give a concert tonight. He and his ensemble will be performing The Book of Longing in Claremont Wednesday night, the day the article should run in the local paper. Since Philip Glass is the only living composer whom I worship, I still can’t believe I spoke to him on the phone. The consensus among critics is that he’s world’s greatest living composer. The above trailer is for the documentary film, Glass: a Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts.
