Rating: - One of my favorites
I bought this CD on a whim when I bought David Byrne's Knee Plays. However, who could resist a Glass of Rumi? I would love to see the Robert Wilson it goes with, but I dearly love the music and the words.

Rating: - Beautiful
The first track, "Where Everything is Music", is worth the price of the album, even if the rest of the songs isn't fully up to the same standard, I think overall the album is one of Philip Glass' best song collections.

The combination of the music and the voices is stunning. Stereo Gram is another great track.

Wilson's ideas were great, but the 3D rendering technology wasn't up to his ambition, many of the moving ... Read More
Rating: - Classical Glass! ... But Where's Wilson?
I, too, was at the opening night performance at Royce Hall in April 1998. This was billed as Version 1.0 and a work in progress, I guess because the animation was not complete. I also saw the completed version 4.0 some four years later in the same place.As much as I loved the 3D imagery of the animated film, I was more entranced by the Wilson staging which was dropped in later versions.I had only heard of what a Robert Wilson theatre event was like. I'd never seen anything like it before. Weird and ... Read More
