This 'cathedralized' version of Another Look, compared with the Early Voice recording, has had to be taken slower, running for 10 minutes longer than the previous 50 minute one. The new pace lets one appreciate what's happening musically, the detail. The recording overflows with atmosphere, and Glass's music is especially timeless, sounding like something from the middle ages, yet modern. It's probably no coincidence that when The Choir of the 21s Century and Christopher Bowers-Broadbent performed this in summer last year it was on the programme with a piece by Orlandus Lassus.
This is maybe not the most accessible piece of Glass, despite being one of my personal favourites. But if you like the Early Voice recording, this is well worth experiencing for another perspective.

A thrilling rendition
15 Feb 2009
Format:Audio CD
Another Look at Harmony Part IV is a 1975 composition, just preceding Glass' breakthrough performance of Einstein on the Beach. While it shares the sung solfege syllables with Einstein, its thickly layered sounds and almost passionate warmth clearly anticipate Satyagraha. Although it begins with the suggestion of a religious chant, the piece develops into several thrilling climaxes that are best enjoyed at full volume. An unforgettable experience.
I came to adore this piece through the excellent earlier recording, made in 1989 and released in 2002, but I find this version by the Choir of the 21st Century to be superior. Indeed, the recording deserves an award for its technical quality as well as its mesmerizing, transporting sonorities. This is one of the very best recordings in the Glass catalogue, and lasts a generous 60 minutes on one disk.
