About

In 2001, Glass composed the music for a film called 'Naqoyqatsi: Life as War' - the third film in a trilogy by director Godfrey Reggio that features only images and music. When the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra invited Glass to be a Creative Director of its Boundless Series during the 2011-12 season, Glass thought of his cello-concerto-for-film and its possible life-after-film. The CSO commissioned Cello Concerto No.2 “Naqoyqatsi” and gave the composer the opportunity to have it reborn as a proper concerto.

The resulting recording is drawn from the live performances and is a dynamic seven-movement work, conducted here by long-time Glass champion Dennis Russell Davies with soloist and modern-master Matt Haimovitz.
