Philip Glass's Akhnaten (1984) is widely considered a hypnotic masterpiece and the most musically accessible chapter of his "Portrait Trilogy". While early works like Einstein on the Beach relied heavily on spoken numbers and stark minimalism, Akhnaten bridges the gap into fully-fledged, dramatic functional harmony, utilizing an unearthly, violin-less orchestra to conjure the ancient sands of Egypt.
