    To continue to review records based off of listening to the 30 second samples is unethical. And does Boolez really think that Philip Glass is writing reviews of his own records? If he had half a brain he'd know who Richard G. is. Anyway, the Carducci does a fine job here. A welcome addition alongside the recent Smith Quartet recording and the standard-bearers in this case, Kronos Quarter performs Philip Glass.

  • Not sure why the fifth was missing.

    The order of the album seems to follow with his better known works played first. Most would recognize excerpts from Comany and it serves as a fine introduction to the ablbum. The most interesting quartet remains his first. It has shades of late Stravinsky an Webern. MOre to the point it is a better representation of what the minimmalism movement was supposed to represent. The Carducci do tend to play it loose in the pocket and loose the sense of tention between the unrelenting rhythm and minimal use of pitch collections. The remainder of the album does sound like one contigious piece interupted by the first, much better, quartet. It's an odd way of to program it but it is what it is. Now all is needed is for Philip himself, or Richard G, or BZSX or whatever alias he goes under to accuse me of listening to the clips, not purchase the whole album, dislike a whole columns of my reviews without reading them, and accuse me of bad spelin. He should come to terms that professional theorists like us do hold down steady gigs that pay far more then he'd suspect to be able to purchase this music. Until then we can only hope and listen with open ears. -Bz
