Philip Glass can be something of an "aquired! taste but this is a great collection to whet your appetite with.

Features too many songs from Liquid Days album and still manages to leave off Freezing, which was a single and played on Radio 2 at the time of its release so the closest Philip has come to a hit single!
If you only know the film scores than this is good primer for future exploration. Good selection from 'The Trilogy' operas. I'd also recommend 'solo piano'.

_ "the insistence of truth"...

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
this... is.. a magnificent and superb collection of music by one of the most important composer of our time... phillip glass.
such great depth of feeling: it would be time hard spent, trying to find a soprano saxophone score of such supreme beauty as 'facades' song two; soprano performed magnificently by jon gibson who along with the superb phillip glass ensemble, breathe life into this masterpiece work from 1982 release, "glassworks".
found on this release are compositions of profound beauty: for example; an introspective acoustic piano 'metamorphosis four' from "phillip glass: solo piano" to complex fast moving orchestra scores found on "naqoyqatsi" such as 'primacy of numbers' with yo yo ma and members of the phillip glass ensemble, this 3 cd release of 31 pieces is nothing less than a treasure on a grande scale.
the operas... every time i hear douglas perry's pure tenor voice, such as on 'kuru field of justice' {what a remarkably moving piece of music} from "satyagraha" or i hear paul esswood sing 'hymn to the sun' from "akhnaten"; i am moved deeply... .. very much so.
yes, it is true, many of the opera pieces on disc 3 from this release, are also on the cd "phillip glass: songs from the trilogy" but, who cares... it is still wonderful to have all the great pieces together as one collection. this, i believe, to be one of the most worthy collections of music to have in one's possession; in this lifetime, anyway.
