Glass finds inspiration for his music in the strangest places. Here, he has taken his themes for the Low Symphony from the music of David Bowie and Brian Eno, specifically from their album entitled Low. You needn’t be familiar with (or like) the work of Bowie or Eno to appreciate this piece, which is in three movements: Subterrraneans, Some Are, and Warszawa. Glass doesn’t quote the borrowed themes directly, but lets them generate their own variations- -which he’s very good at. This is an unexpected success and a grand delight. –Paul Cook
