Customer Reviews
Splinters of Glass
There is a lot to hear in the Glass String Quartets. These are weather pieces. Seasonal, natural, sounds full of a pulse of water and of growth. Old steam trains. Brushes with the present and the past. To No. 5, you listen with others. Company, you hear alone. Both quartets always moving, if only to return you to where you have already been – a common Glass motif. Kronos plays the desperation in these works with precision. The notes are cut, and splinter loud and soft in contrasts, silence where it stresses a point. These are meant to be heard in more than one sitting. Buczak is longing, understated, a short story full of regret. But still with that pulse. Mishima is familiar Glass. Arpeggios rolling through a work of constant motion. Glass wants to tell us something. Even if it is only a reflection of ourselves, and Kronos takes on the challenge. Just be prepared. You won’t want to talk much after these.
Most Excellent
Students of Cosmology are certain to appreciate this collection. The real edge of Kronos approach is that it is minimal as opposed to orchestral presentations of Mr. Glass' work. Consequently the recursive nature of the work is emphasized and that is the core. Should contribute to the debate on "intelligent design".
