"The subject here is the early life of Mahatma Gandhi and the text is a selection of verses from the
Bhagavadgita, sung in the original Sanskrit and used as another strad in the complex repetitive web of sound. The result is undeniably powerful. The recording is spectacular."

Fine performance of a brilliant workApril 2, 2016By R. McNeill (Winston-Salem, NC)See All My Reviews"A hundred years from now, if operas from this period are heard and performed, they will be those of Philip Glass. As innovative to his period as Monteverdi was to his, Glass operas are rich in content and distinctive in style. If any operas from this period survive, my money is on Ahknaten and Satyagraha. Excellent performance, this one."Report Abuse
