I’m addicted to your website, even if I don’t understand a single word of it.

I have been an admirer of Glass for years and I’m delighted that his work is getting a close look.

LOL – I agree with you! Philip Glass video short is a keeper though.

This is a lovely tone poem about Glass. The visuals, the interviews and the music truly melded together to create a moving meditation.

I saw the Philip Glass documentary last nite on WGCU. Made me regret not being aware of Glass earlier in my life. He’s awesome! Great job!

Cannot watch any of these videos — no Flash Player software available for my computer. Hope PBS will offer an alternative.

American Masters continues to enrich my life by expanding my awareness of great talent. Philip Glass is a prime example. He’s been all around me, but I never knew it, and I am richer now for my awakening.
I was inspired by his profile to allow my own creativity to flow out of me, and I watch American Masters regardless of whether I know anything about the artist, or think I already do.

I saw Glass at Milwaukee PC about 15 years ago. Wonderful.
This hotel in Erfurt outtake is great – music and camera work – with tub shot included.
