Music reviews of Glass: Satyagraha
Music Review: Soaring
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this and the recording of akhnaten on the strength of the recordings on Philip Glass: Songs from the Trilogy.
I already knew Einstein on the Beach, and liked much of it. It was the pieces from Satyagraha and Akhnaten that really moved me. I have no regrets. The sound on both recordings is excellent. There is one common disappointment with both CDs, they both have limited liner notes. An oratorio in an ancient language would benefit from more explanation. That said, the music is stellar.
Satyagraha doesn't disappoint. The recording is intense and precise. This is a work largely carried by the voices, and the vocalists are excellent! The score is the foundation and roiling sea behind which the voices unfold, caress, and soar. Like Akhnaten this bridges Glass' earlier ensemble work and his later orchestral work. Where Akhnaten is closer in timbre to his later symphonies, Satyagraha incorporates the organ and some styles more recognizable from 'Einstein on the beach' and his other ensemble work, to great effect.
One of Philip Glass most powerful compositions. Definitely a favorite of mine now.
