Some friends of mine and I heard the Philip Glass Ensemble's performance
in Davies Hall (SF Symphony Hall) and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Songs from
_Einstein_, _Koyaanisqatsi_, _Glassworks_, and the Olympic Fanfare were
performed on synthesizers and brass/wind instruments.  Robert Commanday's
review in the Chronicle the next day were perhaps the most negative
that I had seen in a long time.  The problem is that they weren't so
much a bad review of the performance; they were more critical of the
whole idea of minimaliasm than anything else...

Why do most recordings of Beethoven's Ninth sound like MMOs with the
  Choral tenor part missing?				----
