- Depth, and a very unexpected romanticism.
Unlike virtually every other Glass composition to which I have been exposed, "Songs and Poems" displayed real intellectualism and honesty of a kind I have never expected from the man who produced (and continuously re-produced) "Glassworks."These compositions, while recognizably minimalist in style and form, are unusually jagged-edged and stormy--romantic, I would say, in a way very unlike Glass' usual treacle and posturing.

Rating: - I Converted to Cello
This Cd made me a Cello fan.It is relaxing "a lo Glass", (as usual).Before, I considered the violoncello an inferior
entity within the violin family, but now I have great respect for both, the instrument and Phillip. To me: definitely a 5 star.

P.S.I'm not a professional music analyst just in case I may have disappointed any one for not getting into the technical analysis of the CD.

Philip Glass is a genius and this CD is truly a mark of his talent. Beautiful, simple, soothing cello
Rating: - loved it!
This is quite unlike Philip Glass' minimalism music.It is lush and fluid, written for Wendy Sutter, whom he loves.It is obvious and lovely.The old cello she plays has a wonderful deep tone and she plays with controlled virtuosity and passionate feeling.Highly recommended.I am giving the recording as a gift to those who appreciate music.

- Mislead by the Wall Street Journal review
There wasn't a single piece on this CD that I enjoyed. I love cello music but none of these selections were melodious and were an affront to my taste. I disagree totally with Greg Sandow's WSJ review. If I had heard this first I never would have bought it.
