"the work plumbs great depths in the first movement and sales vast heights in the last. In between, the second movement's impressively harnessed massed choral textures evoke similar moments in Glass's powerful opera Akhnaten" Gramophone
"…Glass does not simply go through the motions here: the work plumbs great depths in the first movement and sales vast heights in the last. In between, the second movement's impressively harnessed massed choral textures evoke similar moments in Glass's powerful opera Akhnaten, which also looks towards the beliefs and practices of ancient civilisations."
(Gramophone)
This is the World Premiere Recording of this work and is a Gramophone Editor's Choice. It was originally commissioned and performed by Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony Orchestra. The symphony was composed in 2004 and is dedicated to the Toltec civilization that lived in Mesoamerica from 500 BC - 500 AD.
