About

A fabulous new box set comprising the complete Glass works from the Naxos catalogue, all of them immensely successful in their own right.

“Her [Marin Alsop's] Glass is assured, almost relaxed when the score permits, occasionally laconic and shot through with a lightness of spirit which is extremely uplifting.” - BBC Music Magazine on 8.559202

“Marin Alsop and the Bournemouth Symphony give it big licks with terrific playing on this new recording, as they do in Glass's more personal essay, The Light, from 1987, where everything turns to Glass.” - The Herald on 8.559325

“Adele Anthony proves an eloquent soloist whose appealingly understated playing, well articulated and carefully coloured, fits in nicely with the stark, unrelenting formalism of the work... Takuo Yuasa proves a fine proponent of Company and the two sections from Akhnaten, instilling them with a sometimes unsettling sense of urgency in well-shaped readings.” - BBC Music Magazine on 8.554568
