Recently released on CD, Orange Mountain Music's recording of Philip Glass' opera Kepler is now available on DVD. The opera was filmed by Austrian Broadcasting in 2009 and broadcast on Austrian and German television in 2010. The DVD presents the full opera, filmed in HD, sung in German and Latin with German, Latin and English subtitles. The opera explores the life of scientist Johannes Kepler, continuing Glass' interest in scientists following operas on Einstein and Galileo. Performed by Landestheater Linz with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz under Dennis Russell Davies, Kepler is a refreshing return to large-scale symphonic writing for the opera house.
