Description:

Orange Mountain Music has commissioned the LGT Young Soloists to record the world premiere of Philip Glass's Symphony No. 14. The album opens with a new recording of Glass's "Tyrol Concerto" (2000) for piano and string orchestra, with the talented young pianist Martin James Barlett as soloist. The concerto, in three movements based on traditional Tyrolean melodies, is given a fresh interpretation by the LGT Young Soloists, an elite group of young musicians from all over Europe. The album closes with Glass's "Echorus" for two violins and strings, originally released in 1994. The piece is based on Glass's Etude No. 2 and was written for violinists Yehudi Menuhin and Edna Mitchell. (Translated from manufacturer info/Tower Records)
