美しい…
So, I used to be a big fan of minimalism when I was in college - I loved it. I had copies of a bunch of Glass and Adams operas, and other works.
The tapes I'd made as a high schooler from the CDs at the local library were left to sit in my brother's basement with half my stuff when I moved, and my CDs that contained many of my operas was stolen my first week in Japan by someone in my training program.
So I fell out of listening to modern classical.
I...now deeply regret that, and am getting back into it and catching up with many of the major Glass pieces I've missed over the last decade. I'm sure Apple loves me, because I have been buying like mad off of iTunes.
I had gotten so disillusioned with recent pop - there was nothing there of any interest at all, even though it seemed like there was so much experimentation happening in the 90s - now it's all just...bland as fuck, with a few minot exceptions.
So I decided to listen to some modern classical again, and...yeah, I missed this, and Glass has really put out some amazingly beautiful pieces lately - pieces of such haunting and etherial beauty I've been moved to tears (his violin concertos. Oh my god. Concerto I, mv 2).
It's nice to feel a little bit of something agan.
