Einstein on the Beach

by Philip Glass / Robert Wilson

Einstein on the Beach cover art

This definitive 1993 recording captures the staggering avant-garde brilliance of Philip Glass and Robert Wilson's groundbreaking minimalist opera. 'Einstein on the Beach' eschews traditional narrative for highly complex, mechanical choral recitations and incredibly repetitive, hypnotic synthesizer arpeggios.
