Philip Glass: Einstein On The Beach versie op 4CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Sony Classical op 28. augustus 2015.

"Einstein on the Beach" is an avant-garde opera by composer Philip Glass and director Robert Wilson, which premiered in 1976. The 1979 album of the same name captures the essence of this groundbreaking work, which is often hailed as a masterpiece of minimalism. The opera eschews traditional narrative structure, instead offering a series of powerful tableaux inspired by the life and theories of physicist Albert Einstein. The album features a series of "Knee Plays," which serve as interludes between the acts, each characterized by choral voices and the distinctive arpeggios of Glass's signature style. The tracks unfold over four acts, with scenes titled "Train," "Trial," "Dance 1 & 2," "Night Train," "Trial/Prison," "Building/Train," "Bed," and "Spaceship." These pieces combine to create an immersive listening experience that is both hypnotic and thought-provoking, reflecting themes of innovation, time, and the human condition. The album is considered a landmark in contemporary classical music and remains influential to this day.

Album valt binnen het genre Klassieke muziek, Opera en Contemporary classical.
