Book Reviews of Singing Archaeology: Philip Glass's Akhnaten (Music Culture)
Book Review: A needed insight on a modern masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
John Richardson book explores every aspect of Philip Glass's Akhenaton: libretto, music, significance, archeology, etc.
Once I read that book, the opera I have known and listened to for more than 7 years became new again.
This book also puts Akhenaton into the perspective of the others main operas from Philip Glass.
An essential book about this opera and it's creator.
