The Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, Dennis Russell Davies - Philip Glass: Low Symphony, from the music of David Bowie & Brian Eno (Point Music Edition Series) - Vinyl LP The Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, Dennis Russell Davies
Hand-numbered, limited editions with obi strip.
The Point Music Editions vinyl series launches in January 2027 with Philip Glass’ Low Symphony: David Bowie and Brian Eno’s music, transformed through Philip Glass’ unmistakable orchestral imagination. Originally released by Point Music in 1993, Philip Glass’ Low Symphony was the composer’s first symphony and a bold orchestral response to David Bowie and Brian Eno’s landmark 1977 recording Low. Commissioned by the Brooklyn Philharmonic and conducted by Dennis Russell Davies, the three-movement work draws on themes from ‘Subterraneans’, ‘Some Are’ and ‘Warszawa’, transforming them through Glass’ unmistakable musical language into what he described as a genuine collaboration between his music and Bowie’s.
The new vinyl edition arrives at a uniquely resonant moment in January 2027, marking Philip Glass’ 90th birthday, what would have been David Bowie’s 80th and the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s original Low album, creating a unique convergence of anniversaries around this landmark recording and Glass’ symphonic response to it.
Performed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic under Dennis Russell Davies, Low Symphony is cut for the first time at 45rpm over three sides allows for wider dynamics, clearer fidelity, better high-frequency tracking. Lacquers are cut at Emil Berliner Studios, in the same building where Bowie recorded ‘Heroes’ — a remarkable connection between the music’s inspiration and the craft behind this edition.
With one movement per side, this Point Music vinyl edition features an etching of the album cover on the fourth side.
“Just as composers of the past have turned to music of their time to fashion new works, the work of Bowie and Eno became an inspiration and point of departure for a series of symphonies of my own. My approach was to treat the themes very much as if they were my own and allow their transformations to follow my own compositional bent when possible. In practice, however, Bowie and Eno's music certainly influenced how I worked, leading me to sometimes surprising musical conclusions. In the end I think I arrived at something of a real collaboration between my music and theirs.” — Philip Glass
