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 getting ready for work in the morning or going to bed at night; don't play this while you're having a conversation with a friend on the phone whom you haven't seen in three years. Play this when you are ready to stop and listen. Don't even think. If you are able to listen and lose thought, you'll enjoy this music.

Good introduction to the minimalist music of a major American composer, consisting of minor pieces.

5.Philip Glass - Songs & Poems for Solo Cello - Wendy Sutter from: Orange Mountain Music February 12, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $14.18
Unlike virtually every other Glass composition to which I have been exposed, "Songs and Poems" displayed real intellectualism and honesty of a kind I have never expected from the man who produced (and continuously re-produced) "Glassworks." These compositions, while recognizably minimalist in style and form, are unusually jagged-edged and stormy--romantic, I would say, in a way very unlike Glass' usual treacle and posturing. Sutter's command of the material really elevates and justifies its emotional content. I would have never expected it, but these pieces are not only emotionally convincing, but convincing in a gripping and agonized fashion which reflects impressively on the soloist. She is both restrained and emphatic; for the first and only time in Glass' body of work I ... Read More

In the world of 21st century classical film scores, Philip Glass is the king. Here, at the pinnacle of his talent, Mr. Glass paints us a picture of love, murder, betrayal, mystery and magic; all with the allure of days gone by. If you love hauntingly brilliant classical music with a very modern twist... The Illusionist is a must.

if you're looking for music that sounds like a soundtrack for a movie you'll forget in 5 minutes, buy this disc. this music is really bad. at one point a violin line sounds like a vivaldi rip off, and you know what stravinsky said about vivaldi: "vivaldi was a very boring man who wrote the same concerto over and over." in a nutshell, glass's compositions sound like a second year piano student playing appegiated triads over and over and over and over............

When I saw the Hours, I was struck my the music in the film. This CD carries a haunting theme throughout. Each track is similar but not redundant, conveying the same distinctive and urgent mood throughout.

I was given this CD as a gift and not being a big fan of Philip Glass I expected his usual "knock-knock, who's there; knock-knock, who's there; ock-knock, who's there" kind of music. I was very pleasantly surprised with this "late period" Glass music. It's a very mellow and beautiful record. The sonorities that Ms. Dubeau and La Pieta are able to bring to this music are amazing. I am whole heartedly recommending this to anyone who likes good, mellow, evocative music.

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 expanding over the lands of wandering peoples called The Barbarians. As settlers encroach on grazing lands, the Barbarians are led to raid a few cattle, the same solution that Native Americans were forced into as European settlers forged westward. The Empire's response is very contemporary, however, fabricating a threat and confirming it through "confessions" made under torture. As the army takes over and terrorizes the town, its inhabitants are fanned into a frenzy of fear that allows them to accept militarization as normal and necessary. The town's ... Read More
