Orange Mountain Music presents the world premiere recording of Philip Glass' The Passion of Ramakrishna. Originally commissioned by the Pacific Symphony and premiered in 2006, this large scale 45 minute oratorio is a passion play and a tribute to the 19th century Indian spiritual leader, Sri Ramakrishna. The work portrays his death with the chorus taking up the voice of Ramarkrishna himself; the soloists are the voices of his loved ones. The forces on this recording are led by Glass champion maestro, Carl St. Clair, along with the Pacific Symphony, soloists and the voices of the Pacific Chorale under the direction of John Alexander.
