Symphonies nos. 2 and 3

Album by Philip Glass & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & Marin Alsop

This release pairs Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 2, a large-scale orchestral work built on evolving harmonic cycles and repeating rhythmic patterns, with Symphony No. 3, a four-movement score for string orchestra centred on interlocking contrapuntal lines and gradual textural change. Both works sit within the minimalist and post-minimalist idiom.
First released: October 2004
