Minimal: Glass at 75 (Part II) Symphony No.6

As part of the 75th birthday celebrations for Philip Glass, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra gives the UK Premiere of the composer’s Sixth Symphony, an impassioned setting of Allen Ginsberg’s protest poem, Plutonian Ode, an outcry against nuclear contamination and pollution.
The symphony follows an arc from outrage and condemnation to spiritual and personal transformation. Conducted by Nicholas Collon, Principal Conductor of the Aurora Orchestra, it is preceded by Richard Strauss’s epic tone-poem of decay and rebirth, Death and Transfiguration.
