Philip Glass Recording Archive Vol.2

This second volume of works features two orchestral scores by composer Philip Glass. The first score, "Days and Nights in Rocinha" (A Dance for Dennis Russell Davies and Orchestra) premiered in Vienna in 1998. The 23 minute work is Philip Glass' homage and musical tribute to a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro where the composer spent many summers. The second work, the 27 minute "Persephone" (TSE), is a five movement work for orchestra and chorus. It was conceived and recorded for Robert Wilson's theater installations of the same name in the mid-1990's.
