摘要

Philip glass is probably the world's most famous living composer. He is known to many as a minimalist, since much of his music is highly repetitive, and he is a prolific film-score creator whose music was used in "Leviathan", a controversial Russian movie from 2014. His new autobiography shows him to be a decent writer, too. The book avoids detailed analyses of compositions. Instead, Mr Glass discusses the broad influences-academic, cultural and personal-on his approach to music. In this respect the early chapters are the most illuminating. He was born 78 years ago into a Jewish family in Baltimore, where his father ran a record shop in a down-at- heel neighbourhood. Ben Glass was a fearsome man, who was later to disown his son after he married a gentile. He was "very physical and muscular" and would beat up people who tried to steal his records. But he passed his love of music on to Philip, who would sit, unnoticed, at the top of the stairs, while his father listened to Schubert, Shostakovich and Bartok late into the night. By the time Philip was 15, he had become the classical-music buyer for the shop.
