 Excellent Sampler October 28, 2009

This is an excellent sampler of Glass' music. The selections are from a variety of compositions written over a period years for different combinations of musicians. This is a great place to start an exploration of Glass' music and you will want to move on from the selections you like to the larger works from which they are excerpted. There are many hours of musical exploration here. Thank you Amazon.

Philip Glass is one of my favorite living classical composers, along with Ligeti, Thomas Ades and John Adams, who my wife studied with at the S.F. Conservatory.
Anyway, watch Koyannisqatsi again if you haven't lately... and no need for me to ramble on too much. The 5-star rating must be shared by AMAZON for being such a cool music seller. This is the best kind of enlightened self-interest! If only Porsche would do something like this.
(A. Garrison... if you're within the sound of my voice, I'm listening to my new Mozart sampler as this all downloads... ain't life great!?)
Uncanny. Unquestionable genius. October 28, 2009

This is both an amazing collection of music and surprisingly accessible. I appreciate modern classical music, but I am no aficionado. After listening to this compilation, I felt like Glass has a lot to offer and you don't have to study the minimalists to "get it." What an amazing composer.

Glass's music has always been rich in sound and sparse in melody, and this sample is no exception. There's still plenty of incredible music and collaborations Glass has done beyond this sampler, but this is as good a place as any to start.
Fantastic! December 30, 2009

Beautiful music. Every cut. Amazing! I own a few Philip Glass CDs, but this collection blows them away. Never monotonous. Different instrumentation on every song. My new favorite CD. Thank you, Amazon.
