"4 works include Quartet No. 5, the first work Glass wrote specifically for Kronos. The New York Times described it as "containing some of Mr. Glass's best music since Koyaanisqatsi." String Quartet No. 3, an adaptation of Glass's score for "Mishima," is itself a classic, having been the first non-satch release for both Glass and Kronos in 1985.Released as a 140g analog LP record in limited quantities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Kronos Quartet.
