Orange Mountain Music presents The Philip Glass Ensemble - A Retrospective, a two disc set of repertoire from the group's forty-year career. Previously released as an iTunes only download, this live recording from a concert in Monterey Mexico in 2006 features music from Music in 12 Parts, In the Upper Room, Koyaanisqatsi, Einstein on the Beach, The Photographer, Glassworks, Powaqqatsi, and much more, with a total time of over 100 minutes of music. The Philip Glass Ensemble was formed in the late 1960s as a vehicle for Philip Glass' new music. The ensemble has consistently toured the world performing Glass' compositions, including complete performances of the seminal Music in 12 Parts, and as the 'orchestra' for the most groundbreaking opera of the 20th Century, Einstein on the Beach.
