You can here more about it at the iTunes Store (iTunes U/Stanford/Fine Arts/An Evening with Leonard Cohen and Philip Glass).
But you can't beat the real thing.

The Book of Longing
The Book of Longing (Phillip Glass) was the only thing I attended at this year's International Arts Festival.

Off Topic
Biked to Pencarrow lighthouse after work yesterday.
First time for AGES. And it took me about the longest time ever (without handicaps of stiff Northerly on way back, or husband). I have to please a slight headwind on way out & flat front tyre in my defense).
Saw lots of sheep, goats, a few fishermen, a couple of joggers & a few other cyclists.
I brought back a sheep skull for the WoWo project (of which more later, hopefully).
Anyway, need to do it a few more times to get up to speed for Wheels Beside the Water on 30 March.

Bembo, Bembo, where you going to go-e-o?
Kris Sowersby, a professional type designer from New Zealand has written about the dominance of Bembo as a typeface in New Zealand book design & some of the shortfalls of digital typography.
He talks about the difference between hand cut type for letterpress and how each font size had specific proportions and subtle variations and contrasts this to digital typography where 'one size fits all' and fonts are just enlarged to suit. He discusses how this affects especially Old Style fonts such as Bembo.
Why Bembo Sucks.
