Which Philip Glass score written in 2006 do you prefer; The Illusionist with its whimsical elegance or Notes on a Scandal with its menacing spirit?
Notes on a Scandal for me. I prefer Glass when he is more macabre, and I love the intensity and dark nature of Notes. I enjoy the Illusionist as well, but Notes definitely gets more play. To confirm my results I just listened to Notes, and I am about half way through the Illusionist.

I'm not usually that into Phillip Glass' music, but The Illusionist really grabbed me when I saw the film. I only have a few Glass albums, and I listen to this one the most by a large margin.

I listened to them both incessantly when they were released, and I think I like them more or less equally.

This one is easy for me.
The Illusionist has a track that is pure LifeSaver-material for me. I buy several hundred film score CD's per year, but get only a few absolutely positively essential individual trakcs annually. Although the tune was performed earlier on the album, the final track of The Illusionist ("Life In The Mountains"), was a life-stopper at first listen. Unfortunately only the first half of the track is such greatness, but nevertheless, the first listen of that was, for me, one of the singular best musial experiences of my life. I listen to it regularly now. Most times I like to lean back and push out a couple of tears.
Getting back on subject: as wholes, I find both scores rather dull. But, because of life-saving track I'll pick The Illusionist.
