Orange Mountain Music, 2007 Nice if you like other Glass song albums I saw Book of Longing live when Philip Glass was in the Netherlands for the Philip Glass festival, so I have special memories. Although this is played by a small ensemble and there is a lot of focus on the singers (duh), I really like the arrangements. I can listen to ...             Glassworks Philip Glass, Michael Riesman Sony, 2003 Glassworks is an amazing album Although I'd heard of Philip Glass I was quite unaware of his music until I attended a performance of The Upper Room by the Washington Ballet in October 2006. The music is by Philip Glass and the choreography by Twyla Tharp. It was one of the most memorable artistic ...             Solo Piano Philip Glass Sony, 1989 Amazing Don't play this in an elevator; don't play this while you make dinner; don't play this on a Sunday afternoon while you read; don't play this while you watch tv; don't play this while you put away the clothes; don't play this in your car; don't play this while you're ...             Glass: Einstein on the Beach (1993 Recording) Richard Peck, Gregory Purnhagen, ... Nonesuch, 1993 Hard to fault Before this, I'd only really heard Glass's solo piano music. Where I found his repetitive figures unmoving in that context, here - fleshed out with vocals and synths - they become something else, something hypnotic, beguiling and quite beautiful. Even over 3 hours, it ...             Philip Glass: Waiting for the Barbarians Philip Glass, Dennis Russell Davies, ... Orange Mountain Music, 2008 Opera Grows Up Philip Glass and librettist Christopher Hampton have adapted J. M. Coetzee's parable about power and inhumanity in an opera that staggers in both dramatic power and beauty. The story is set in a town on the fringes of a nameless Empire that is in the process of ...             Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective(10 CD) Richard Peck, Alexander Blachly, ... Nonesuch, 2008 This elegantly packaged 10 disc retrospective surveys four decades of work by Philip Glass, from his earliest solo pieces to his world-renowned operas to his Oscar-nominated film scores.

Orange Mountain Music, 2008 loved it! This is quite unlike Philip Glass' minimalism music. It is lush and fluid, written for Wendy Sutter, whom he loves. It is obvious and lovely. The old cello she plays has a wonderful deep tone and she plays with controlled virtuosity and passionate feeling. Highly ...             Glass: Violin concerto Philip Glass, Takuo Yuasa, ... Naxos American, 2000 a good place to begin if you've never heard any Glass My first encounter with the Glass Violin Concerto was in the form of a dance piece devised by the fringe choreographer Mavin Khoo.The Glass worked brilliantly within this context but i doubted it would stand on it's own without the marriage with movement. I was proven ...             Philip Glass - Monsters of Grace Gregory Purnhagen, Peter Stewart, ... Orange Mountain Music, 2007 Beautiful The first track, "Where Everything is Music", is worth the price of the album, even if the rest of the songs isn't fully up to the same standard, I think overall the album is one of Philip Glass' best song collections. As five-star as five stars get in my book. I used ...             Songs from the Trilogy Robert McFarland, Scott Reeve, ... Sony, 1989 One of the best I would say this is Mr. Glass' best work. The songs are simply beautiful. The orchestration is rich and complex, yet gives a tranquil quality. I highly recommend this album.             Satyagraha Robert McFarland, Scott Reeve, ... Sony, 1990 My favorite of Glass's works--powerful................ The subject in this beautifully, bizarre opera is the early life of Mahatma Gandhi and the text is a selection of verses from the Bhagavadgita, sung in the original Sanskrit and used as another strand in the complex repetitive web of sound. The result is undeniably ...             Einstein on the Beach David Anchel, Sean Barker, ... Sony Bmg Europe, 1993 Original 1976 recording reissued This is a budget-priced reissue of the original CBS Records Masterworks release, which contains the original booklet with libretto and copious liner notes. The only differences are the cover artwork and price. Definitely a complete and utter steal! If you're at all ...             Speaks Volumes Nico Muhly Bedroom Community, 2007 Amazing music Nico Muhly's music reminds me of a combination of chamber music, Bjoerk's Medulla CD (Muhly actually played the piano on one of the pieces), and Philip Glass / Steve Reich / John Adams (in that order?) influence. The music is exciting, because there are many things ...             Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass Joan Jeanrenaud, Philip Glass, ... Nonesuch, 1995 Minimalist Masterpiece To quote Sherri "Altovoice" : "I can't believe anyone would rate this noise higher than a 1.
