Thanks for the background on these releases. The Dublin String Quartet recording is fantastic! It brings a totally new dimension to the quartets. I've always wanted more guitar music from PG and this really hits the spot. I hope there are more adaptions in the works for this group.
Comments on recent OMM Releases
How Now/Strung Out (Philip Glass' debut concert May 19, 1968) This was a very interesting release to me as a lot of archeology work went in to discovering what in fact was this recording that was foisted into my hand by Philip Glass about three years ago. Glass had told me that there was a w...
