Label: Orange Mountain Catalog: OMM0067 Format: CD The Philip Glass EnsembleOrange Mountain Music presents the "Philip Glass Ensemble – A Retrospective," a 2CD set of repertoire from the PGE's 40-year career.

The Philip Glass Ensemble was formed in the late 1960s as a vehicle for Philip Glass’ new music. The image of the group, an ensemble of keyboards and winds, became the iconic visual image for Philip Glass as a performer. The ensemble has consistently toured the world including complete performances of the seminal Music in 12 Parts, and as the ‘orchestra’ for the most groundbreaking opera of the 20th Century, Einstein on the Beach.
