My newest obsession

[PrinceofWands]

Philip Glass - Metamorphosis.

Not even close to new, I know, but new to me. I have listened to all five at least two dozen times in the last week...many different recordings. Still not sure which I favor the most, though I think it may be the Branka Parlic from 2004 (though I'm not as fond of her rendition of the fourth). Also can't decide which is my favorite piece, though I'm awfully fond of the first. Fortunately they're available on Youtube if you'd like to give a listen.

Metamorphosis One
Metamorphosis Two
Metamorphosis Three
Metamorphosis Four
Metamorphosis Five

You should check out "Glassworks". It's some of my favorite stuff of his. I've heard good things about "Einstein on the Beach" but have never heard it myself.

You'd probably also like Steve Reich.

Check out the Truman Show soundtrack. Glass did that as well. One of my favorite soundtracks.

Only some of it. Most of it was Burkhard Dallwitz.

I stand corrected. The Glass tracks stand out from that soundtrack though.
