Philip Glass: Glassworks

If Glass really conceived this piece in an attempt of taking his work to a wider audience, then „Glassworks“ must surely stand as a prime example of how commercial calculation can yield considerable artistic merrit and how simplicity of means can result in striking emotional depth.

Over at amazon, people are still debating, whether it's lazy to just keep on playing the same chords over and over again and if his ideas on harmony are boring. For anyone else, this video of Branka Parlic, who recorded an entire disc of Glass in 2006, performing the opening section of Glassworks may be more rewarding than those discussions.
