Glass' Book of Longing due on CD
Our fellow-fan Ed tried to get the answer about mentioned CD release of Book of Longing, and he got this from Glass's site.

Re: Glass' Book of Longing due on CD
I'll end up getting this and giving it another chance with at least three more listenings. I'll also have my libretto in hand.
Thanks for posting this news, Tom.

Re: Glass' Book of Longing due on CD
It's a matter of personal taste Simon. It was not at all what we are used to with Cohen material but I actually enjoyed about 90% of it and will probably buy the Glass cd.
Of course the 4 cd set of Leonards own recording will be well worth having, and very much appreciated by all of us here if it becomes available! That goes without saying

Re: Glass' Book of Longing due on CD
I will definitely be purchasing the Philip Glass cd.
I can't say that I am a Philip Glass fan. I once heard some of his music about 20 years ago and was mildly enticed then forgot all about it.
I found that 24 hours after the concert that some melodies were echoing in my head...that is a good indication.
The whole concert was enthralling for me (I've already mentioned that on another thread) and I really look forward to hearing it in its entirity without the coughing, footsteps and pregnant pauses between pieces.

Re: Glass' Book of Longing due on CD
I thoroughly enjoyed it too, though I had never heard any of Glass's work before. I shall definitely be keeping a lookout for the CD, and maybe gently nudging Santa in that direction
