hey,

you mentioned philip glass and gorecki as some of your favorite composers - what in particular do you enjoy most by them?

Gorecki for me is always personified by Op36 Symphony of Eleven Sorrowful Songs, but I heard a radio broadcast of Op44 Miserere which was totally spellbinding, and I have it on my to-get list. Glass, I like the Tomato volume of Dances 1-3 and I have a fantastic Italian boxed-set version of Einstein on the Beach which is one of the best vinyl pressings of his music I've heard. I'll admit to not being too into his later operas, but his film-and-music collaborations have been amazing.
