Pianist Paul Barnes and renowned string quartet Brooklyn Rider collaborate on a new album of music by Philip Glass that features two world premiere recordings. The program begins with Philip Glass's 2018 piano quintet ''Annunciation.'' It is based on the ''Hymn of the Annunciation'' from the Greek Orthodox tradition. The second premiere recording is Glass's 2018 String Quartet No.8. The album is rounded out with two shorter pieces, ''Pendulum'' (2010) and ''Quartet Satz'' (2017), and closes with an a cappella version of the Greek Annunciation theme sung by Paul Barnes.
