For everyone who hasn't seen this (and those who want to refresh their memory) below is an interview/conversation in 5 parts about the original joint venture, "Book Of Longing" with LC & Philip Glass in London 2007.May 2022
In partnership with THE WHEELER CENTRE, ACOCo presents Philip Glass' divisive BOOK OF LONGING - a unique collaboration between the minimalist composer and the poetry of Leonard Cohen. This evening length operatic concert performance of poetry, songs and music also incorporates curated projections of Cohen's poetry and drawings. Polarising critics from the beginning, with reviews ranging from the scathing, "Philip Glass takes on Leonard Cohen - big mistake" (SF Chronicle), to the glowing, "an audacious work with a magnetic pull", "a gem", "a seldom-heard masterpiece" - there's only one way to find out which critic is right, and that is to buy a ticket, and see for yourself. Starring Richard Piper (Pirates of the Caribbean, Come from Away) as Leonard.
I wish the audio was clearer.
