Philip Glass/Ravi Shankar

Meetings Along the Edge

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

It was 1965, while earning pocket money writing music notation in Paris, that a young Philip Glass met Indian Sitar master Ravi Shankar for the first time. Some 25 years later, they collaborated on a recording together called Passages — thus bringing their meeting full circle. We hear an excerpt from the work, entitled "Meetings Along the Edge."
