Golijov: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind

I haven't been in a hurry to jump on the Golijov bandwagon, but browsing through the iTunes store I discovered this intriguing Nonesuch release with an early work (1994) for string quartet and clarinet for just a few euros. I think my suspicion about the hype was warranted. Despite the metaphysical gobbledygook this is an insubstantial composition that recycles klezmer tropes and not much more. Won't be spending much more time with this one.
