good selections but questionable 4th disc April 28, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have not bought this set, but I have heard all the music on it from other sources. The symphonies are good, but I was not sure what was on every disc since there is no listing on Amazon. I went to the Naxos website to see the track listings for the 4 cd's, and the 4th one had a listing of compostions by people other than Philip Glass. I am not sure if this is a mistake, or if the 4th disc actually has other music. It is questionable to say the least, so I am not going to buy this.
