(String). Philip Glass's Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra was composed in the spring of 2010 as a commission from the Netherlands Dance Theater, premiered by the Hague Philharmonic (Residentie Orkest) conducted by Jurjen Hempel on April 22, 2010 with violinist Cecilia Bernardini and cellist Maarte-Maria den Herder.

Inspired by the insomnia resulting from frequent travels, this unique composition for solo double bass consists of seven movements, each exploring sensory experiences like Tasting and Hearing, culminating in Not Beginning. Not Ending. The piece is enriched by spoken texts from renowned artists such as Lou Reed and Yoko Ono, creating an atmospheric and theatrical experience. Premiered by Robert Black, it reflects Philip Glass's creative response to sleepless nights, transforming idle hours into a profound musical and poetic journey.

Die Belange des Datenschutzes stellen den Rechtsstaat vor neue Herausforderungen. Hier treffen die Anforderungen an Berechenbarkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit des Rechts auf eine schwer fassbare Materie: Information. Diese betrifft jede Person bis in den innersten Kern der Persönlichkeit, da sie alles widerspiegelt, was sensorisch und logisch erfasst werden kann. Datenschutzrecht verkörpert den Willen der Rechtsgemeinschaft, die Bearbeitung von Daten durch den Staat und seine Rechtssubjekte zu ordnen, um den Individuen die Möglichkeit zu bewahren, über die Nutzung ihrer Informationen mitzubestimmen. Die Dissertation stellt den rechtsstaatlichen Rahmen dieses technischen und persönlichen Rechtsgebiets dar und zeigt, wie dessen Drang nach Flexibilität rechtlich eingehegt werden kann. Sie beschreibt Methoden zur Einbindung von verfassungsrechtlichen Argumenten in datenschutzrechtliche Entscheidungen und bietet Hinweise zu spezifischen Problemlagen in den Bereichen Polizei, Staatsschutz, Sozialhilfe und elektronische Informationsverarbeitung. Zudem wird die Entwicklung hin zu einer umfassenden statistischen Aneignung und Profilierung des Individuums behandelt, die durch Big Data-Technologien in alle Lebensbereiche ausgeweitet wird und durch die steigende Leistungsfähigkeit der genutzten Informationsmaschinen befeuert wird.

Co je tantra a jaké jsou její cíle? Podle buddhismu má každá lidská bytost potenciál dospět k hlubokému a trvalému štěstí a probuzení. A podle nauk tantrického buddhismu lze této pozoruhodné transformace dosáhnout velmi rychle, budeme-li využívat všech aspektů naší energie – zejména energii našich tužeb. Na rozdíl od konvenčních náboženství tantra uznává, že tato silná energie je nepostradatelným zdrojem duchovního rozvoje. Náš život je totiž tak neoddělitelně spojen s touhou, že její obrovskou energii můžeme využít k transformaci celého svého života. Lama Yeshe představuje tantru jako praxi vedoucí k radosti a objevení sebe sama a využívá přitom jednoduché a jasné příklady vztahující se k životu ve 21. století. Úvod do tantry je ideálním uvedením do této velmi obdivované buddhistické praxe, která však často bývá špatně chápána. S předmluvou Philipa Glasse.

Philip Glass has, almost single-handedly, crafted the dominant sound of late-twentieth-century classical music. Yet in Words Without Music, his critically acclaimed memoir, he creates an entirely new and unexpected voice, that of a born storyteller and an acutely insightful chronicler, whose behind-the-scenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. From his childhood in Baltimore to his student days in Chicago and at Juilliard, to his first journey to Paris and a life-changing trip to India, Glass movingly recalls his early mentors, while reconstructing the places that helped shape his creative consciousness. Whether describing working as an unlicensed plumber in gritty 1970s New York or composing Satyagraha, Glass breaks across genres and re-creates, here in words, the thrill that results from artistic creation. Words Without Music ultimately affirms the power of music to change the world.

(Music Sales America). The Twenty Etudes for Piano were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition. Taken together, they suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas. In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves. -Philip Glass
