    "Einstein on the Beach" Launches World Tour in Ann Arbor; "Classical Music Event of the Year" (Detroit Free Press)

    Robert Wilson and Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach returns for the first time in 20 years with the launch of a major international tour, starting with preview performances at the Power Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this weekend. These mark the first North American presentations ever held outside of New York City. "It's only January, but the classical music event of the year is already upon us," exclaims the Detroit Free Press. "Glass and Wilson strip down the fundamentals of movement, image, text and music to essentials and then elevate their essence to operatic grandeur ... It's hard to overestimate the impact of Einstein on American music, art and culture."

About this Album

This 2001 five-disc set compiles some of Philip Glass's most innovative work for film, including his groundbreaking soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi; new scores created for Tod Browning's Dracula and Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête; excerpts from Mishima and Kundun; and sought-after pieces written for short films.
