Jenny Lin - Philip Glass: Piano Sonata (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Pianist Jenny Lin follows two highly acclaimed albums of music by Philip Glass with a recording of the Piano Sonata, a dramatic work featuring his hallmark polyrhythms.

Pianist Jenny Lin’s continues to champion the work of Philip Glass with a new recording of his Piano Sonata (STNS 30236), available August 2, 2024 on the Steinway & Sons label.

The Piano Sonata (2019) is about 30 minutes long and is cast in three movements. Glass says it is a piece “bursting with ideas.” He claims that the piece is related to his work of the past several years like his Symphony No.12 (2019) or his Percussion Quartet (2018) which were pieces that addressed ways that instruments play material. However while Glass was working on these pieces he said, “I began to write in a new way. I began to see how the music unraveled. It turns out that the piano is the best place to work out these kinds of things. This [the Piano Sonata] is the most sophisticated form of these ideas.”
