5 out of 5 stars Hypnotic, Jarring, Wrenching History of 20th Century America.......2005-06-17

A friend of mine who is a classical musician was over the other day browsing through my CD collection and found Hydrogen Jukebox. I had played just a bit of it a few years back and was turned off by Jahweh and Allah Battle, what with its frenetic drums and urgent, frantic choral ensemble.

I had never returned to it, but I was immediately drawn to Iron Horse, sung by tenor with a pulsing, minimalist atmospheric accompaniment of flute and synthesizer keyboards, typical of Glass. Jahweh and Allah still was jarring, but makes sense in the context of the overall work, which as other reviewers have observed is operatic in scope. The music carefully and effectively reflects the words of Ginsberg.

Ah, the words of Ginsberg. Spectacular images of America, the threat of apocalypse reflected in sheet lightning. Love, aging, treachery at the highest levels of government, corruption. All lead to the Buddhist concept of escape into death, peace.

There are many examples of thrillingly sublime art. After the frantic war of the gods, we return to the calm of Iron Horse, which features soaring soprano vocalize. The words are deeply haunting and relevant to these terrible times: "Who's the enemy, year after year? War after war, who's the enemy." These are, of course, quite exactly the questions that we are asking ourselves now.

Interwoven with the history of America's post-WWII role in the world are frank personal reflections by Ginsberg on the trajectory of his own life. These lend an intimacy to the work and render it all the more poignant. This is especially apparent in "To P.O.," "Cabin in the Woods," and "The Green Automobile."

"Cabin in the Woods" captures young love in an exotic location, Calcutta. The music is rhythmic and sonorous. "Cabin in the Woods" opens with the same haunting soprano vocalise that is woven throughout the music and text of this masterpiece. "The Green Automobile" is extraordinary, with a gradual crescendo to a spectacular, joyous climax and a shimmering testament to love and joy.

After "To P.O." we are treated to a wild "Crossing Nation" and Ginsberg's reading of "Wichita Vortex Sutra," accompanied by Glass on piano. "Howl Part II" also features Ginsberg, but most of it is sung, with a wild saxophone accompaniment. After this long exploration of 20th century history, "Cabin" is a welcome, quiet, change of pace.

The wild "N.S.A. Dope Calypso" documents terrible events and is followed by soothing, elegiac songs.

This is an endlessly imaginative work, and as others write, may be his masterpiece indeed.





2 out of 5 stars Strange Electric Iterations.......2003-08-03

I bought this CD with mixed feelings. I am a devoted fan of Ginsberg's writing and poetry. I'm also in love with the Phillip Glass string quartets. However, I knew that most of his other music was not appealing to me, particularly his choral works and plugged music.

I found the majority of Hydrogen Jukebox to be hard to listen to. It's an odd combination of operatic choral singing, electric keyboard music, and Phillip Glass' extremely tedious repeated-run style of music.

I found the male voices particularly hard to listen to. However, the soprano is absolutely enchanting, especially in her solos such as Cabin In The Rockies.

The true redeeming value of the CD are those works in which Ginsberg himself reads aloud his writing. This is mainly just certain highlights within tracks. However, the closing of Part One, Witchita Vortex Sutra, is a must-have for any Ginsberg fan. Phillip Glass' unplugged piano and Ginsberg's reading of this large section of WVS is a truly memorable, moving piece. It's a highly emotional reading that is understandable to even those without a huge interest in poetry and a great statement on love, language, and war. It's a shame that this track seems so out of place with the rest of the CD.

If you are a fan of Phillip Glass' operas, keyboard works, or general minimalist-gone-maximal style, you'll probably appreciate this CD much more than I did. It has grown on me despite my negative reactions.

5 out of 5 stars A delightful stylish piece.......2002-01-22

This CD ranks among my favourite Glasspieces, along with Koyaanisqatsi. I usually make a special occassion of giving it a thoroughtful listen all the way through from the beginning to the very last note sung by a solo male voice. All in all the small scale operatic concept form of this little wonder deserves to be treated with respect by any listener. Hats off for the author's intellect and modesty in creating a truly distinguished opus in my view standing on solid ground of originality among his output. Once again he prooved his versatility and demonstrates how potent a genre minimalism can be. The featured ensemble of musicians and singers sounds very chamber-like, the overall sonic atmosphere brings them all virtually to your very living room. The intensity of musical message is so subtle, they don't need to bang our ears, yet still they are capable of delivering some very rapid paced "loud" stuff. A modern classic indeed with the authors themselves contributing with an outstanding piano-narration duel, a true gem. And check out the haunting sax performance on Howl...

5 out of 5 stars THIS is Glass's best work - a must own!.......2001-05-02

I just saw Philip Glass at a screening of Koyaanisqatsi and then at a composer's forum, inspiring me to take to the keyboard (the piano AND the computer version). This is my favorite Glass piece in my ever-growing collection -- ironically, it's the first one I ever bought. The genius of Glass's middle-style -- slow unfolding poignant minimalism with operatic sensibility and universal themes -- comes to absolute fruition where the music meets Allen Ginsberg's insighful, 'deep-thinking' beat poetry. All of the rough edges of the early style (shaky orchestration, the tendency for overkill) seem well-trimmed here... In under an hour and a half Glass creates a masterpiece with every bit as much to say as Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha or Akhnaten. Indeed, newcomers to Glass ought best to start here. Highlights include Ginsberg's reading from Wichita Vortex Sutra, Aunt Rose, and the final ode to death. And like most all Glass music since the early operas, this piece is very user-friendly for connoisseurs and non-art-music-fans alike. Hydrogen Jukebox is proof that minimalists need not meander adrift on the waves of cyclic time, but can produce grippingly poingnant short pieces. This may well be Glass's masterpiece and deserves greater recognition. Buy now!!

5 out of 5 stars Could have been very popular, and is still important........2001-02-02

Hydrogen Jukebox is a wonderful melding of Beat poetry and contemporary serious music. I believe that if the recording had been enthusistically promoted when it first was issued, it could have been a best-seller. As it is, it is an important addition to the discerning listerner' collection.

3 out of 5 stars HE HAS DONE BETTER, MUCH BETTER.......2000-07-10

This is the companion volume to CLASSICAL JUKEBOX Vol. 1 with Eugene Ormandy (see my review). Here we have André Kostelanetz leading his orchestra or the New York Philharmonic. The program is quite varied, going from Bach (AIR ON THE G STRING) to Weill (MACK THE KNIFE). Generally, the sound of this compilation is quite good and the recording technique superior. But this suffers in the fact that some items such as the BLUE DANUBE WALTZ by Strauss seem to be played at a pops tempo, not the real unhurried symphonic tempo. Other pieces such as the Alford COLONEL BOGEY MARCH are played with such over-bearing forces that one is left without any sense of musicality. Kostelanetz has done much better, I remember an LP of the 60's presenting 24 of the world's greatest waltzes. It had everything in the right places. This CD has little to say musically, though many could find it enjoyable.
