Notes

Orange Mountain Music presents the long-awaited new album by the Dublin Guitar Quartet performing the string quartets by Philip Glass on classical guitars. The quartet performed in Ireland with Glass in 2008 and later uploaded a YouTube video performing Glass’ Third String Quartet. The video was seen by Orange Mountain Music which immediately resolved to collaborate with the group. This new album is the fruit of that collaboration. The recording presents Glass quartets Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5, in arrangements by the members of the group themselves. The transcriptions are thoughtful adaptations that show unusual insight and understanding of the music.
