A review in musicweb-international.com said:
“There is a moment in Appomattox, the new opera
by Philip Glass centered on the end of America’s
Civil war, when the stage bursts with life.
A regiment of African-American soldiers fills
the stage, and they sing a march, the original
music by Glass and a pastiche of period tunes
such as Battle Hymn of the Republic, to a rousing
text from the times. It is the climax of a
sequence depicting the taking of Richmond,
the Confederate capitol, by Union troops in 1865.
In set pieces such as these, the opera soars.”
For Appomattox, Glass said: “This is an opera
about men and events. There is hardly a person
in public life today with the moral and intellectual
stature of these two men, and I wanted to - well,
honor them isn’t the right word - but put them
on the stage and see what they were about.”

Thank you so much for the PG opera. This one is not for sale yet, and I have no idea if it will ever be. I thought I was the last person in America to listen to Glass. Thanks so much again. I did notice it appears there might be a track missing from the download;
RispondiEliminaDisc 1 Track 7
It's hard to tell since the files weren't tagged and some of the running times are different. No big deal.
