Glass, Philip–Einstein on the Beach, Powwaqatsi

If you like repetition, get Einstein on the Beach. It’s a 4 CD long opera…very much an acquired taste. I watched the opera online in ’15. Powwaqatsi is a soundtrack and much, much better-I think it’s his best work. FYI, Glass is a modern composer-he works by combining repetition and arpeggios that slowly mutate and change over a piece. It’s trancelike… There’s a DVD of the piece performed in Paris in 2014-I watched it online.
