We are going to have to talk about Mr. Glass one day. I know many of his compositions can be inane, obtuse, or monotonous at the first hearing, however there are many other pieces that are ecstatically vibrant and bring pleasure that endures over time. I will revisit the topic of the many things that are Glass on another day. I don’t want to take away from this thread. Richard Strauss was truly a musician and a performer suited to his time. As was his father.
I look forward to it.
