Two dance suites on one LP. Side A is In the Upper Room, the music for the 1986 Twyla Tharp ballet: nine dances, ensemble plus added soprano saxophone (Jack Kripl, Jon Gibson, Richard Peck). Side B is Glasspieces, the three movements Jerome Robbins used for the New York City Ballet premiere on 12 May 1983. Glasspiece #1 and #2 are Rubric and Façades in their original ensemble scoring (Robbins also used Glass's expanded full-orchestra version onstage); Glasspiece #3 is Funeral from Akhnaten, the first music from the opera ever heard in public, a year before the Stuttgart premiere.
Riesman conducts. The LP is sometimes catalogued as 1985, sometimes 1987 (Discogs has the LP as 1987 with the music dated 1985-86).
