"In 1982 Philip Glass became the first composer since Aaron
Copland to join the CBS Masterworks label. Glass had formed the
‘Philip Glass Ensemble’ in 1968, but it wasn't until
his opera ‘Einstein on the Beach’ (1976) that he achieved
great critical and popular success. His first album for Masterworks,
‘Glassworks’, tripled all sales projections, pleasing
audiences, critics and Glass himself: ’I'm very pleased with
it, the way it's received in performance. The pieces seem to have
an emotional quality that everyone responds to, and they work very
well as performance pieces’" (zit. nach http://www.philipglass.com).
