| Cantaloupe continues its recording series of the masterworks of the musci of our time with this brilliant disc of two early classics by composer Philip Glass, performed by the Bang on a Can All-Stars. In "Music in Fifths" and "Two Pages," Glass's ideas are at their most basic, using only addition and subtraction of notes in simple scales to create epic, hypnotic musical forms. With their first new studio recording since Renegade Heaven, the Bang on a Can All-Stars reconceive these works for their ground-breaking sound of clarinet, cello, bass, piano, marimba, and electric-guitar, and catapult these classic works into the 21st century. |
