Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The eclectic interests of pianist Paul Barnes have taken him from monasteries in the Judean desert to the Liszt Academy in Budapest. Exploring both minimalism and religious symbolism in music, Barnes has been featured three times on NPR’s Performance Today and has recently performed in Jerusalem, Moscow, Greece, Seoul, Vienna, Budapest and in the major cities throughout the US.

Deeply inspired by the aesthetic challenge of minimalism, Barnes has given several world premier performances of works by Philip Glass and has published a collection of his own transcriptions from Glass’s operas. Barnes gave the world premier performance of Glass’s Orphée Suite in New York City in April of 2001. Orange Mountain Music is vey happy to present this collection of piano transcriptions of these major Philip Glass compositions performed by the very talented pianist, Paul Barnes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glass Transcription, July 16, 2003
By Rob Atkins (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another great disc from Orange Mountain Music, whose catalog of recordings is swiftly growing. On this disc, Paul Barnes interprets several works by Philip Glass, which is really quite fascinating because, as Glass himself composes at the piano, it's not hard to imagine that this is how the compositions sounded during their creation. Barnes is not only a wonderful pianist but also a skilful interpreter of Glass's music, being faithful to the original and at the same time quite creative and always spirited in his playing.
This is a very eloquent recording, essential for anyone who loves the magnificent work of Philip Glass.

5.0 out of 5 stars RAVISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL! SUPERB!, February 11, 2004
By A Customer
This is the best CD of Philip Glass's music played on the piano besides Mr. Glass's "Etudes" CD!

If you've never heard Glass's music played on the piano before, you should start right here with this CD.

Paul Barnes' transcriptions and performances are simply brilliant. He is obviously a Glass fan and has transcribed and performed these pieces with great sensitivity and understanding of the music of the legendary Philip Glass.

The Orphee Suite is gorgeous. Powerful, romantic, yearning, passionate, tender, emotionally charged- these are words that describe the Orphee Suite. Any Glass detractor with a modicum of integrity would definitely have to tip their cap to Mr. Glass and Mr. Barnes and give them their just due after hearing The Orphee Suite.

Mr. Barnes' performance of the Dance from Akhnaten is amazing. It deserves special note as well.

Kudos and thanks to all involved in producing this wonderful CD of beautiful piano music!

Great liner notes by Mr. Barnes top off a perfect package.

Highest possible recommendation.
