    └────────┘

     Philip Glass is recognized as one of the most prominent composers
     associated with musical minimalism, the other major figures being Steve
     Reich, Terry Riley, and John Adams. His style is easily recognizable
     because of its use of repetition, particularly the repetition of small
     distinctive rhythmic and melodic cells, and its reliance on traditional
     diatonic harmonies. In some of his early works, like "Two Pages" (1967),
     the whole of the piece evolves from a single unit that expands as notes are
     added. In later works, such as the massive "Music in Twelve Parts"
     (1971-1974), expansion comes by lengthening of note values and other
     inventive processes.

     Many describe his music in the minimalist vein as mesmerizing; others hear
     it as numbingly repetitive and devoid of variety in its simplicity. The
     latter view of his style is itself simplistic and fails to take into
     account the subtleties and complexities found in the many ways Glass varies
     and shapes his material. His later styles, since the 1980s, embrace more
     than just minimalism and include a broad neo-Romanticism, with greater
     emphasis on melody and more complex harmonies. Glass is one of the most
     popular and succesful classical composers of the late 20th and early 21st
     centuries, with a broad fan base that includes both rock and classical
     enthusiasts.

     "The Essential Philip Glass" is a three-disc 2012 compilation not to be
     confused with the single-disc 1993 album, "The Essential Philip Glass". The
     tracks from both are taken from previous Sony releases. Two of the discs of
     the 2012 set are made up of single tracks from a number of albums,
     including Songs from Liquid Days, Glassworks, the film score Naqoyqatsi,
     the ballet In the Upper Room, and the choral-orchestral piece Itaipu.
     Stylistically the music represents a fairly narrow range in Glass' career;
     all the music except for Naqoyqatsi is from the 1980s. There is variety in
     the musical forces used; the Philip Glass Ensemble led by Michael Riesman
     figures prominently, but there are also pieces that use chorus, vocalists,
     and piano. Linda Ronstadt, Yo-Yo Ma, the Kronos Quartet, and Glass himself
     are among the distinguished soloists

     The third disc was originally released in 1987 as "Songs From The Trilogy"
     and is made up of brief selections from Glass' three portrait operas,
     Einstein on the Beach (1976), Satyagraha (1980), and Akhnaten (1983). This
     disc includes mostly truncated sections of the operas rather than complete
     scenes. They give a good idea of what the music sounds like, but because
     they are cut so short they fail to create the kind of extended temporal
     experience Glass intended. The excerpts from Einstein are especially
     welcome, though, because they represent a very different side of Glass'
     creative personality from the other pieces. The performances are
     consistently topnotch. Sony's sound is exemplary throughout.
