 I Converted to Cello Jul 17, 2008
This Cd made me a Cello fan. It is relaxing "a lo Glass", (as usual). Before, I considered the violoncello an inferior
entity within the violin family, but now I have great respect for both, the instrument and Phillip. To me: definitely a 5 star.

P.S. I'm not a professional music analyst just in case I may have disappointed any one for not getting into the technical analysis of the CD.
Songs & Poems for Solo cello Jul 15, 2008
Philip Glass is a genius and this CD is truly a mark of his talent. Beautiful, simple, soothing cello

loved it! Jun 14, 2008
This is quite unlike Philip Glass' minimalism music. It is lush and fluid, written for Wendy Sutter, whom he loves. It is obvious and lovely. The old cello she plays has a wonderful deep tone and she plays with controlled virtuosity and passionate feeling. Highly recommended. I am giving the recording as a gift to those who appreciate music.

 Mislead by the Wall Street Journal review Jun 08, 2008
There wasn't a single piece on this CD that I enjoyed. I love cello music but none of these selections were melodious and were an affront to my taste. I disagree totally with Greg Sandow's WSJ review. If I had heard this first I never would have bought it.

 Glass for cello solo Mar 31, 2008
This album consists mostly of so-called 'poems' for cello solo. It is an interesting experience, although less lush in texture than the usual symphonic works by Glass, and less moving than solo efforts such as the solo saxophone album. The album ends with several tracks (some of which not released on CD hitherto) from Powaqqatsi. All in all, this is a valuable item in a Philip Glass's afficionado's collection, but will probably be of little use to other people.
