  • Kronos Quartet Leads Carnegie Hall Performance of Terry Riley's Groundbreaking "In C" Tonight

    Terry Riley's groundbreaking Minimalist masterwork In C turns a remarkable 45 years young this year. To celebrate, Kronos Quartet has gathered about 60 performers, many of whom participated in the piece's premiere in San Francisco in 1964, to join them and the composer to perform the work in Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium for the first time. Playbill calls the piece "the minimalist musical be-in that altered the course of music history." New York magazine says, "Carnegie Hall’s extravaganza should yield a rich, polychrome stew of sound."

  • Mercury News: West Coast Premiere of Seminal Philip Glass Work "Moves Toward Euphoric Breakthrough"

    Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble gave a marathon performance of the composer's seminal piece Music in Twelve Parts at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall Monday night. It was the West Coast premiere of the complete work, which had received its world premiere 35 years ago in New York. "I loved it," exclaims San Jose Mercury News critic Richard Scheinin. The piece, "with its youthful energy and imagination, is such a beguiling paradox. At first, it seems so narrow in sound, limited by its minimalist methods. But then, unfolding like time itself, it comes to contain so much. It opens up, grows vast."

About this Album

Documentarian Errol Morris reconstructs/questions the circumstances of a Dallas murder case in a film that haunts and disturbs. The Washington Post notes, "The Philip Glass score and the stylized lighting help transform the movie into an arena for the somber contemplation of the fallibility of perception."
