Tracklist:
Tbc
With Figures Of Glass: Piano Etudes - Edits, Vanessa Wagner offers a new listening perspective on Philip Glassâs Piano Ătudes, 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.
Conceived 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 Glassâs Ătudes at the heart of a scenographic installation, exploring the visual imagination embedded in the composerâs music. Minimal structures become spatial gestures; repetition opens onto perception, colour, and resonance. Taken together, these edits form a coherent arc through Glassâs language: from tension and propulsion to suspension and introspection, from rhythmic urgency to contemplative stillness. Wagnerâs approach is marked by precision, restraint, and a deep attention to resonance, allowing each piece to unfold with an assumed expressive sobriety.
Figures of Glass also exists as a live creation, presented for the first time in Paris at the ThĂ©Ăątre du ChĂątelet on April 7, 2026. In both recorded and staged forms, the project invites contemporary listening contexts â from focused headphone listening to immersive visual environments â while reaffirming the Piano Ătudes as a major landmark of 21st-century repertoire. Bridging modern classical piano, minimalist writing, and spatial listening formats, Figures of Glass (Piano Etudes â Edits) speaks equally to traditional classical audiences and new listeners discovering Philip Glass through curated, editorial-driven experiences.
