Glass: Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra / Fairouz: Symphony no. 4 "In the Shadow of No Towers"

Album by Philip Glass & Mohammed Fairouz & University of Kansas Wind Ensemble & Paul Popiel

This release pairs Philip Glass’s Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra with Mohammed Fairouz’s Symphony No. 4 “In the Shadow of No Towers,” inspired by Art Spiegelman’s graphic work reflecting on the events of 11 September 2001. It spans contemporary classical and minimalist idioms while addressing post‑attack themes and large‑scale percussion writing.
