Music reviews of Philip Glass : The Voyage: An Opera in Three Acts
Music Review: Finally this has been recorded!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I was at the World Premiere for this opera - my first time to be in the Met Opera House, my first time to be at a Philip Glass premiere, in the first month after I moved to New York City. No better welcome to New York City than the opportunity to see this at the Met AND to see a revival of Einstein on the Beach at BAM a month later.
I have awaited this recording for years - The Voyage is some of Glass' best music for orchestra and voice. It's powerful, lyrical, triumphant, tender, introspective, and gorgeous at various times. The libretto is a artistic and well-done exploration of what "exploration" is, and what drives so many human hearts to wonder "What's over there....?"
While all of Glass' music is worth having, on the scale of "what should the new fan buy first?", I'd put this in the first five of essential Glass compositions to know.
