Inspired by the poetry of Leonard Cohen, the new work by Philip Glass, Book of Longing, was conceived as a concert for music, voices, words and images.
The work is the result of years of mutual admiration between two of the most famous musicians of their
generation, and contains unreleased pieces by Glass inspired by Cohen’ book of the same the title.
Containing poetry and texts created over the past twenty years, including the eight years spent in the Mount Baldy Buddhist monastery, Book of
Longing is at once meditative, playful, erotic and provocative.
It spans between long ballads, love songs, autobiographic elements and spiritual meditations.
