Glass, Reich, Nyman

The list author says:
	"The Prelude alone is captivating enough, but this work enthralls throughout with rich textures and a striking sense of location."

The list author says:
	"A major work in the minimalist canon, rippling with persuasive emotion. Powerful yet hypnotic."

The list author says:
	"Fine work from Glass and Kronos. Worth buying just for String Quartet #2, though the whole album makes rewarding listening."

The list author says:
	"A strikingly raw sound from the Lyric Quartet contrasts with Nyman's deftly melodic lines. Nyman proves himself Glass's equal with these marvellous quartets. Skip the sugary last two tracks though."

The list author says:
	"While I don't necessarily agree with Glass's idealistic view of Gandhi, this opera is a beautifully crystalline work, full of trademark Glass. I keep saying "rich", but that's what this is."

The list author says:
	"Untypical of Reich, but surpassingly beautiful. Simple yet simultaneously intricate."

The list author says:
	"The Kronos Quartet and Glass meet again for this thoughtful film score. Thrilling, spooky and sad without being cheesy, melodramatic or obvious."

The list author says:
	"Dark, dynamic and stirring, with a stratospheric third movement and bombastic fourth."

The list author says:
	"Glass's often-derided violin concerto is a stately, refined affair, hushed and intimate. Skifully played here by Kramer. You'll be hanging on every note."

The list author says:
	"Hypnotic without for a minute being soporific, this is a truly flawless work that fully demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship of both Reich himself and the ensemble. Astounding."

The list author says:
	"Philip Glass could learn something about piano minimalism from Nyman here. This beats Metamorphosis hands down! Don't bother watching the film though. Yawn."

The list author says:
	"I thought this timpani concerto would be an amusing novelty, but it's a very strong work, driving and dynamic. It's well partnered with the earthy cello concerto, deftly played by Julian Lloyd-Webber."
