Vanessa Wagner - Etude No. 9

Taken from Philip Glass: The Complete Piano Etudes by Vanessa Wagner, listen now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/philipglassthe...

With this eagerly anticipated complete recording of Philip Glass’s Études, Vanessa Wagner demonstrates the deep bond she has forged with a body of piano music that now straddles the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her reading is embodied, exacting, and profoundly lived-in.

Wagner treats Glass not as a museum piece of American minimalism but as a living, breathing organism, revealing its shadows, its subtle modulations, its sudden rhythmic lightning. Each Étude becomes a shifting inner landscape, poised between austere clarity and meditative vertigo. Far from a stylistic exercise, the cycle unfolds as a personal narrative, an emotional voyage in which tension, fragility, stamina, and surrender come together.
