Encuentros Orquestales XXII - Dirigiendo a OSPIR (Audio y Fotos), Itaipú de Philip Glass. Philip Glass (Baltimore, Maryland, 31 de enero de 1937) es un compositor de música clásica minimalista estadounidense. Estudió en la Juilliard School de Nueva York. Su reconocimiento internacional aumentó desde la aparición de su ópera Einstein on the Beach (1975). Prolífico compositor, ha trabajado en diversos ámbitos como la ópera, la música orquestal, la música de cámara o el cine. En Brasil, Glass ha recibido críticas de los defensores del medio ambiente debido a lo que llaman su insensatez en escribir la música Itaipu (1989) en la cual, usando orquesta sinfónica y coro, el compositor elogió el gran proyecto hidroeléctrico construido por los militares brasileños durante la dictadura. En esa época los militares prohibían protestas contra la construcción de la presa. El embalse que se creó, destruyó para siempre inmensas áreas de flora tropical y ahogó los Saltos del Guairá, hasta entonces la cascada más grande del mundo.

PHILIP GLASS (b. 1937) Satyagraha Act II: Rabindranath Tagore Scene 1 - Confrontation and Rescue (1896) Performed by the New York City Opera Chorus & New York City Opera Orchestra Conducted by Christopher Keene (http•••) *Satyagraha (English pronunciation: /sʌtˈjɑːɡrəhə/, Sanskrit satyāgraha "insistence on truth") is an opera in three acts for orchestra, chorus and soloists, composed by Philip Glass, with a libretto by Glass and Constance de Jong. The opera is loosely based on the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, and is the second part of Glass's "Portrait Trilogy" of operas about men who changed the world, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. Philip Glass's style can broadly be described as minimalist, but the music in Satyagraha is somewhat more expansive than is implied by that label. The cast of the opera includes 2 sopranos, 2 mezzo-sopranos, 2 tenors, a baritone and 2 basses and a large SATB chorus. The orchestra is strings and woodwinds only, no brass or percussion. The title of the opera refers to Gandhi's concept of non-violent resistance to injustice, Satyagraha, and the text, from the Bhagavad Gita, is sung in the original Sanskrit. In performance, translation is usually provided in supertitles. As the passages are generally repeated, the DVD provides the full text at the beginning of each scene. Satyagraha was commissioned by the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands, and was first performed at the Stadsschouwburg (Municipal Theatre) there on September 5, 1980 by the Netherlands Opera and the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bruce Ferden.
