Philip Glass - Philip Glass: Prison and Protest (arranged for Two Pianos) (2026)

"Prison and Protest" is a powerful and evocative collection that highlights the social and political undercurrents of Philip Glass’s extensive catalog. This new release features masterful arrangements for two pianos, performed by the world-renowned duo of Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies.

The album focuses on themes of confinement, civil disobedience, and the resilience of the human spirit. It brings together suites from two of Glass’s most significant scores: the Academy Award-nominated music for "The Hours" and the profound, tension-filled movements from the film "Kundun". By stripping these orchestral works down to two acoustic pianos, the arrangements reveal the intricate clockwork and raw emotional core of Glass’s compositions.
