Glass: Symphony No.14 Piano Concerto No.1 Echorus [CD]

Orange Mountain Music is proud to present the world premiere recording of Philip Glass's Symphony No.14, commissioned and performed by the esteemed LGT Young Soloists. The album opens with a new recording of Glass's "Tirol Concerto" (2000) for piano and string orchestra performed by brilliant young pianist, Martin James Barlett as soloist. The stunning three-movement concerto is based on a traditional Tyrolean melody and receives a fresh new interpretation by the LGT Young Soloists - a virtuoso group of elite young musicians drawn from all over Europe. The ensemble rounds out the album with a crystalline rendition of Glass's "Echorus" for two violins and strings from 1994. The piece is based on Glass's Etude No.2 and was created for violinists Yehudi Menuhin and Edna Mitchell.
