Philip Glass, Music in Twelve Parts - love it, or leave it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I love it! Listening to it now. I'm on part 3. i won't listen to the whole thing tonight, but last week I loaded up the CD player and sat through the whole 3 hours of it.

Incredible!! I'm sad that I didn't take the opportunity to go to a performance of it at Lincoln Center last year (or the year before).

1. I haven't heard it.

I usually dig Philip Glass though. I have several of his works on CD.
Maybe I should check it out.

14. Exactly! Can't stand his minimalist crap...

Take 10 minutes of ok music and stretch it to nauseating hours, and there you have Phillip Glass.

16. Now I KNOW we are completely compatible!!!

I was cringing as I opened this thread knowing you had posted on it...I thought you were gonna call him a genius or something...:scared: now I know I'll never have to sit with you listening to a Glass CD telling me all the nuances of someone who doesn't put any friggen notes on the page... :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

17. LOL.... The worst experience of my life...

was sitting through the opera "Akhnaten." The only interesting part for me was watching the three Sumo wrestlers in the corner of the stage wrestle in slow-motion for an hour. Fascinating. I fell asleep sometime after that.

3. Cool, I will have to listen

to that. I like Glass, it took me a little while but I like his music. Enjoy!

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. It's worth listening to!

For a long time, we only had a few parts available for listening, but in the late 90s Glass finally did a recording of the whole thing. Of course, I snatched it right up. :-)

6. Thanks

you have interesting musical tastes and I love that! It is now on my list of CD's to buy.

[Barad Simith]

10. late 90s?

I'm confused. I have a copy here -- a three CD set -- with all twelve parts, released in 1989 on Virgin Records. Did you mean late 80s?

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Mine is a 1996 Nonesuch recording

[pagerbear]

7. Not an afficionado of Philip Glass

8. I prefer Steve Reich

Everytime I listen to "Music for 18 Musicians" I feel like I'm stoned.

Mmm... tasty!

[pagerbear]
