5 stars So pure and beautifel
This cd is very nice to listen to. I discovered the music of Philip Glass during the lessons modern dance that I take. My teacher gave me a list with some music she uses during these lessons and "The Photographer" was one of them. The first time I heard, I was overblown: so pure und beautifel.

5 stars Perfection
This is simply a perfect recording of what might be the greatest short work for chorus and orchestra written in the 20th century, and one of the greatest works of music ever written in any century. The recognition of its importance can only grow thanks largely to this magnificent recording.

Kinks Lola vs. The Powerman & The Money-Go-Round, PT. 1 CD  (1970)

Glass: The Photographer / Riesman, Philip Glass Ensemble
CD $9.19  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
This 1970 album serves as the final installment in the Kinks' string of '60s masterpieces. In an age when most rockers were capitalizing on the new sound inspired by The Beatles' SGT. PEPPER, Ray Davies and the Kinks were looking back in time for musical inspiration on records like ARTHUR and VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY. Mixing classic rock & roll, blues, American country, and English dance hall music, The Kinks were ahead of and behind the times all at once. LOLA VERSUS POWERMAN AND THE MONEY-GO-ROUND merges some of Davies's highbrow stylistic concepts with the edgier rock & roll of the band's early years on some of the finest songs of the group's career. The 14-track disc features the irresistible radio hits "Lola" and "Apeman"--the first a confused love song to a transvestite, the second a tongue-in-cheek celebration of primitivism. Both songs have rightfully become part of the rock song canon. Equally impressive are Ray Davies's countryish ballad "Denmark Street," the edgier "Get Back In Line," and music industry satire "Top of the Pops." Guitarist Dave Davies also contributes ...

Philip Glass Glass: Songs From Liquid Days CD  (1990)

Glass: The Photographer / Riesman, Philip Glass Ensemble
CD $7.59  
Additional recording for this disc took place at The Complex, Los Angeles, California. Songs From Liquid Days became Philip Glass' most popular and successful recording. The title holds the clue to the music's accessibility: These are songs, providing a more familiar and comfortable format for appreciating the world of minimalism than Glass' operas or instrumental pieces. Working with such lyrical collaborators as David Byrne and Suzanne Vega, he created art music which sounds radio friendly. There is also great variety displayed on this album. While the musical backing is unmistakably Philip Glass, the arrangements and vocal treatments range from the coolly subdued chamber music of "Freezing," featuring the Kronos Quartet and Linda ...

Glass: Solo Piano / Philip Glass CD  (1989)

Glass: The Photographer / Riesman, Philip Glass Ensemble
CD $9.99  Top 500 Audio Samples
With SOLO PIANO, Glass presents himself "unplugged" - no electronic keyboards or synthesizers, and no overdubs, either - just solo piano. Here, Glass' connection to the established "classical" tradition is most evident. Though his pieces are "minimal" (subtly altered repeated patterns or melodic motifs), yet they have an unsentimental beauty and heartfelt grace that one would hear in J.S. Bach's English Suites, as well as the piano music of Chopin and Erik Satie. Portions of the suite 'Metamorphosis' are based on Glass' score for THE THIN BLUE LINE; these short pieces are forlornly entrancing without being drippy or "trance-like." The finale, 'Wichita Sutra Vortex,' is a uniquely and quintessentially "American" piece. It draws upon gospel music in the same way Ives and Copland drew from the well of American folk tunes, but where those composers worked in ironic portions or references to the tunes, Glass absorbs the deep feeling and tones of gospel, without recalling any particular song. Both Glass fans and minimalist neophytes should ...
