I adore Philip Glass, and it was through Koyaanisqatsi that I discovered him back when the movie was released.
I have been fortunate enough to see PG & the PG ensemble perform Music in 12 Parts (I heard the piece twice that day: once traveling to the concert hall, and once live) as well as attend an evening of piano works by him performed by him and a series of other pianists. On my bucket list is seeing Einstein on the Beach live – easily my favourite opera.
I have been collecting his music since the early nineties, and much prefer his earlier works – his later symphonies, etc, while fine, do not, to my ear, retain the stark beauty of his younger days.
