Glass: Minimalist Guitar Music

This is worth buying solely on the strength of a hypnotic performance of Philip Glass's 'Music in Similar Motion.'It sounds fantastic as a multitracked guitar part and Menotti plays it with an urgency that is really effective.

great release!

This is the best recording of contemporary classical guitar ever. Massimo Menotti is a giant -- incredibly engrossing music.

Sounds good! The Philip Glass songs are from the old school days of Glass, with very minimalistic composition. So, one should be a fan of the earlier Glass music for this recording. This is the Philip Glass music that a lot of people did not like due to it being so very minimalist, but I have always been a fan of these early Glass songs myself. As for the Steve Reich song, this sound great too! This song is less minimalist in a way since it has more complex layers of guitar, but is definitely minimalist in its repetitive segments. I would suggest trying a sample of these songs before buying this, to check if you like the super minimalist Glass songs. (For those buying their first Glass recording at least.) Philip Glass has music ranging from very minimal to very not minimal, as a lot of people do not realize.
