When meeting Strauss in 2011, Glass encouraged him to arrange his music for flute and chamber orchestra. Despite being a flutist by training, and playing flute himself until the age of 30, Glass has not written extensively for 'his' instrument. For Strauss, this has always been a frustrating situation since he wanted to perform Glass's music with orchestras. So Strauss set about arranging Glass's music for flute an ensemble including two major works: a large suite from Glass's opera Orphée, Glass's 'Violin Concerto No. 1', as well as selections from 'Metamorphosis', 'The Hours', and 'Glassworks'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56441619939702,"sku":"0801837014228","price":14.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_7969505_1112360.jpg?v=1760388415","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0801837014228-philip-glassjames-strauss-venezuelan-elegy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
