Muhly / Glass: Unexpected News

Two world premiere recordings of works by the brilliant Nico Muhly are at the heart of this new album by Omega Ensemble, an album that explores the American modern tradition through music by Muhly and Philip Glass. Glass's Violin Sonata is in many ways typical of his writing, with repetitive, locomotive rhythm pulsing with energy, and this recording features the renowned performer of Glass's music, Sally Whitwell.
