The Grand Philip Glass Torrent -- 43 Albums Access

The original uploader, a pseudonymous archivist known only as “MinimalRhythm” on a now-defunct private tracker, claimed in the accompanying .NFO file that 43 represented the complete Nonesuch Records and CBS Masterworks output of Glass up until 2006. It stopped at Orphée (1993) for opera and included the monolithic Einstein on the Beach (1979).

No discussion of Philip Glass is complete without his groundbreaking operas. The torrent includes recordings that touch upon his famous "Portrait Trilogy": Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha, and Akhnaten. These works moved opera away from linear narrative and toward a meditative, ritualistic experience. Having these albums in a single collection provides a unique opportunity to track the thematic links between the scientific revolution of Einstein, the non-violent resistance of Gandhi, and the religious reforms of an Egyptian Pharaoh.
