Philip Glass is the subject of a feature article in The Independent on Sunday (UK), in which writer Fiona Sturges previews the forthcoming Nonesuch retrospective of the composer's work, the 10-CD Glass Box, featuring more than 30 years of music, including some of Glass's most renowned collaborations.

"Glass's career has been informed by an eclecticism that has led him to seek out a dizzying range of collaborators across a variety of genres," writes Sturges. "Through such pairings, the founding father of minimalism has played a crucial part in breaking down the barriers between artistic mediums. But for Glass, it is less a crusade than a desire to do something different."

Glass gives The Independent insight into a few such projects: his groundbreaking 1976 collaboration with Robert Wilson, Einstein on the Beach, which The Times (UK) says "still sound[s] fresh" on the new collection, and his score to Kundun, Martin Scorsese's 1997 film on the Dalai Lama, also featured on The Glass Box; as well as his work with artists like Doris Lessing, David Bowie, Brian Eno, and Leonard Cohen.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”

    The Staves’ new album, All Now, produced by John Congleton (Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen), is out now, marking their debut album as the duo of Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor, after their sister Emily’s departure. “There was a delayed reaction to trauma and these big changes out of your control,” Jess says of the period after the February 2021 release of their album Good Woman, as the band—like everyone—was forced to sit with their thoughts. Struggling after two years of deep solitude and pain, The Staves did what they know how to do best: they got back to writing with the idea of going back to basics and focusing almost solely on each other and their guitars as a starting point.
