- Description
This first-ever vinyl edition of Philip Glass’s award-winning soundtrack to The Hours marks its 20th anniversary and Glass’ 85th birthday concert season. Glass’s ravishing, Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning score was a key element in this acclaimed triptych of dramatic tales based on Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel and starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore. “Was there ever a more perfect film for Glass’s lyrical manner?” asked Gramophone. “Such a feeling of fragile beauty is a rare achievement.”
