Release Info
After the critically acclaimed Orange Mountain Musicrelease of Philip Glass’ Symphony No. 6 “Plutonian Ode”,Symphony No. 8 marks an exciting return for the composerto purely instrumental symphonic writing.
This World Premiere recording is conducted by DennisRussell Davies and performed by the Bruckner OrchesterLinz.
After a series of symphonies which featured text andvoices, Philip Glass was asked by Davies to “think of theorchestra as a collection of virtuoso instruments as youwould find in a concerto formation.” Symphony No. 8 startsfrom this point in presenting ideas involved with timbre,density, structure, and melody.
Enjoy this Great MnD Release !!
