| Description: | Orange Mountain Music is proud to present the premiere recording of Philip Glassâ??s original score to the 2019 Broadway production of King Lear which starred Glenda Jackson as Lear and Ruth Wilson as Cordelia/The Fool. For this new production, directed by Sam Gold and produced by Scott Rudin, Glass composed almost an
hour of new music for string quartet. Gold and Glass decided not only would the music be featured prominently in the production, but that the musicians would be on stage for almost the entire duration of the play. Glass has been a self-described â??theater composerâ? for most of his artistic life, dating back more than 50 years. Indeed, upon developing his own musical language in Paris in the mid-1960s, Glassâ??s first concert work in that language was his String Quartet No.1 from 1966. - SAM GOLD/SCOTT RUDIN/GLENDA JACKSON/RUTH WILSON© and ? 2019 Orange Mountain Music, Inc.
