Album Notes
As the man who popularized minimalism, composer Philip Glass has had an enormous effect on both contemporary classical music and pop/rock. The 10-disc GLASS BOX set is as comprehensive an accounting of Glass's journey from maverick to maestro as one could want. Covering his work from 1969 to 2003, it moves from his early organ pieces to his latter-day symphonies, stopping along the way to shine a spotlight on all his major works, including EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH, KOYAANISQATSI, and more. The cyclical structures, interlocking and overlapping lines, and purposefully repetitive motifs that are at the core of virtually all his work provide a distinctive thread through his fascinating musical evolution.
Editorial Reviews
They call Glass a minimalist, given the spell-weaving repetitive nature of his works, but this box so fully bursts with variety and noise and gorgeousness that, put together here, his music makes him sound like anything but. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
5 stars out of 5 -- Glass, like Mozart, is a composer whose music was ahead of its time, of its time and will resoante through time -- forever.
Record Collector
4 stars out of 5 -- There are dizzying Bach-goes-Krautrock pieces for electric organs, near-swinging world-music percussion in POWAQQATSI and the emotional surges of his string quartets.
Blender
[M]uch of the later music that was judiciously cherrypicked for this box set finds him breaking through his own stylistic strictures.
The Wire
4.5 stars out of 5 -- [This set] positions Glass as an atmospheric architect, erecting sonic cathedrals for clients and collaborators alike to inhabit.
