Glass: Patientia

A theme that violinist Sara Övinge aimed to pursue in the project was the juxtaposition of the electronic and the organic. Philip Glass’s 2nd Piano Concerto is arranged for synthesiser and strings, a kind of updated version of Vivaldi’s string orchestra with continuo. Where previous recordings have gone for an electronic sound resembling the baroque harpsichord, Sara creates a more electro-acoustic soundscape. (Lawo)
