Getting back to this CD
by The_Banshee_of_BopGlass was an acquired taste for me; I first heard his work when I was first starting to hear minimalist music (in the early 1980s), and I found some of it maddeningly repetitive. The Glass compositions I've heard in the last few years have gotten away from that. I was unfamiliar with these pieces before I bought the CD, but they're lovely, both as composed and as performed. I think they're fine chamber pieces.
Beautiful, in any time period
by Richard G.Philip Glass has not recently taken the time to invest himself in chamber music. On the occasion that he chooses to do so, people take notice. Even traditionally conservative critics including Justin Davidson of NY Magazine and Anne Midgette of the Washington Post have had superlative things to say about "Songs and Poems for Solo Cello." It's at moments like these, aside from commercial projects or large scale operas, that we see Glass the composer who had an incredibly intense classical formation including the Juilliard School and years of critical study with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. For a composer who does not often compose music on this scale, this rare piece in the Glass catalog and it is a masterpiece of its kind.
