In 2001, Philip Glass composed the music for the film Naqoyqatsi: Life as War. When the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra invited Glass to be a creative director for it's Boundless Series during the 2011-12 season, Glass thought of his cello concerto and it's possible life beyond film. The CSO commissioned the Cello Concerto No. 2 - Naqoyqatsi and gave the composer the opportunity to have it reborn as a proper concerto. The resulting recording is drawn from the live performances. This dynamic seven-movement work is conducted here by long-time Glass champion Dennis Russell Davies with soloist Matt Haimovitz
