…Glass does not simply go through the motions here: the work plumbs great depths in the first movement and sales vast heights in the last. In between, the second movement's impressively harnessed massed choral textures evoke similar moments in Glass's powerful opera Akhnaten, which also looks towards the beliefs and practices of ancient civilisations.
