Saturday Sounds - Philip Glass - Music For Film

For this week's musical treat, we're back to the music of Philip Glass with a new compilation of his film music. Glass has been a prolific composer of scores and incidental film music over his entire career. He's well known for films like Koyaaniqatsi and The Truman Show, but he's contributed to many lesser-known films inside and outside of Hollywood.

Music for Film, with the Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Dirk Brassé,  contains music from 19 films, mostly single tracks, though a few films like The Hours get three. I am surprised that it didn't contain anything from his scores for Dracula and La Belle et la Bête, both of which I've seen performed in conjunction with the films. In any case, it's a fine collection and a good representation of Glass's range as a composer.
