“Meyers brings an almost Brahmsian warmth to the proceedings. Her violin doesn’t merely trace Glass’s patterns but inhabits them, finding expressive weight in what might otherwise feel like mechanical repetition.
The recording captures something essential about both Glass’s achievement and Meyers’s artistry. Here is a violinist unafraid to find the singing line within minimalist patterns, a conductor willing to let those patterns breathe and flow.
Together, they’ve made the case that Glass’s first concerto isn’t just a curiosity from the crossover years but a genuine addition to the violin repertoire, one that has earned its place alongside the works that shaped the form”. @tsageandcinema @gustavodudamel @laphil @philipglass @emmanuel_ceysson @oliversonaubree @weareplatoon #reviews
