Glass: Symphony No.7 - Toltec (CD)

Philip Glass' Symphony No.7 Toltec is conducted by Dennis Russell Davies and performed by the Bruckner Orchester Linz with the Linz Opera Chorus. The 2004 symphony is a dedication to the Mesoamerican Toltec tradition. It was an advanced civilization which existed between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. Glass gives us a three-movement work representing the holy trinity of the Wirrarika: Movement One: The Corn, Movement Two: The Hikuri (Sacred Root), and Movement Three: The Blue Deer.
