Vanessa Wagner releases “Etude No. 2” from her upcoming album “Philip Glass – The Complete Piano Etudes”
”After more than three decades dedicated to interpreting the classical canon, discovering Philip Glass’s music has, in a profound sense, reshaped my identity as a musician”, confesses Vanessa Wagner.
Vanessa Wagner unveils her luminous interpretation of Philip Glass’s Etude No. 2, a work built on gently cascading arpeggios and infused with meditative depth. Her performance brings out the piece’s reflective beauty—at once expansive, intimate, and quietly romantic.
The official video, directed by Laurent Pernot, weaves together archival amateur films from various eras and regions, unified by their shared evocation of joy and freedom. These fleeting scenes—ephemeral yet timeless, personal yet universal—emerge from the smoke and dissolve like memories lost to time.
