Philip Glass' Appomattox Premiere (Excerpt 2)

[vanderburgk]

I actually went to Sanfran to the premier from Vegas with Virko, and we thought it to be an opera with relevant content.

Goldsmith was extremely great, a master in fact... But Glass is too... Where's his academy award?

Truman Show, The Hours, The Quatsi Trilogiy? Come on academy - LIFETIME AWARD! Not to mention the impact he had on non-film music itself!

cues are very Goldsmith-esque

Thanks for posting, as a Glass fan I have to get to know this new work!

This some of Glass's most menacing and thundering music!

The emotional intensity of epic Goldsmith or Williams score! -Epic!

Awesome. Thank you for posting more of this. You are so lucky to have seen and heard it. Hopefully we will be able to see it in the UK someday. Thanks again.
