Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective:
Larger ImageThis 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. In music, words and pictures, it traces the evolution, as critic Tim Page puts it in his liner notes essay, of ‘The first composer to win a wide, multi-generational audience in the opera house, the concert hall, the dance world, in film and in popular music - simultaneously.’ The long-awaited release of this set follows the triumphal new staging of Glass’s 1980 Satyagraha – ‘A landmark in Minimalism,’ praised the New York Times – by English National Opera in 2007 and at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House in 2008, excerpted here from a 1985 studio recording.
