Book of Longing (Philip Glass)
In 2007, renowned composer of minimalist neoclassical music Philip Glass set 22 poems from Leonard Cohen's "Book of Longing" to his distinctive music. The result is one of the most beguiling records we've covered on the podcast so far. We hope you enjoy this wacky little one-off! And if you're totally unfamiliar with Glass's music, don't worry—in the episode, Ned gives Kinley (and you) a brief primer on the fascinating world of minimalist music.
