Notes
The box features extensive liner notes, performance credits, librettos, and appreciations from fellow artists like Laurie Anderson, David Bowie, and Paul Simon. The composer’s longtime colleague, the artist Chuck Close, selected the artwork for each of the individual discs; Close and other artists—Francesco Clemente, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe and Robert Wilson–interpret Glass’s image for each side of the cube in which the discs are encased.
