Philip Glass Carnegie Hall Original Concert Poster * 75th Birthday * 14" x 22" Rare 2012 Mint Condition. Large Original Poster for the January 31st , 2012 Concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Mr. Glass completed his Ninth Symphony last year, and Dennis Russell Davies led its world premiere, with the Bruckner Orchester Linz in Austria, on New Year’s Day, and its American premiere, with the American Composers Orchestra, at Carnegie Hall, on Tuesday, Mr. Glass’s 75th birthday. This Ninth Symphony is a texturally dense, changeable score, dark and melancholy at its beginning and end and in parts of its richly melodic slow movement, but bright and hard driven in long stretches elsewhere. Mr. Glass’s signature moves are all there: the rising woodwind arpeggios, dotted brass chords, swirling flutes and alternating sections of downbeat and upbeat percussion emphasis, all Glassian equivalents of the Alberti basses and Mannheim rockets of Baroque and Rococo times. But there are new touches too: among them, varied percussion effects (from military snare drums to castanets) and long-lined, gently chromatic string writing. This Original Poster is Large Size ( measures 14" inches wide by 22" inches high ) and is printed in Beautiful Brilliant , Razor-sharp 6 color production on thick heavy chrome-coat advertising poster stock paper.
