Cello Concerto no. 2: Naqoyqatsi

Album by Philip Glass & Matt Haimovitz & Dennis Russell Davies & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

Cello Concerto No. 2: Naqoyqatsi is Philip Glass’s reworking of his Naqoyqatsi film score into a concerto for solo cello and orchestra, presented here as a standalone recording. Rooted in minimalist orchestral writing, it reflects themes of technology, conflict, and globalisation implied by the film’s title.
First released: 19th March 2013
