About this album
Music from an opera based on events from the life of Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneer in the art of photography. The cover art work features Horse in Motion, a series of photos to settle the question of whether all four hooves of a horse are ever simultaneously off the ground during a full gallop. The photos clearly show that they are.
The opera focuses on a tragic love triangle in which Muybridge is put on trial for the murder of a man with whom his wife had an affair. Muybridge is acquitted and his wife passes away a few years later.

The first I ever heard of Philip Glass was songs from this album around 1983 while I was in college. A radio station in Ottawa (CHEZ-FM - a GREAT station back then) was playing songs and I was just amazed at how beautiful it was. I think I rushed out to get the album.
