PHILIP GLASS AKHNATEN Limited Deluxe Numbered Crystal Clear 180gram Vinyl 3LP Set
Overview:
Akhnaten is the third instalment in the Glass’ trilogy of operas about men who changed the world in which they lived through the power of their ideas, Akhnaten‘s subject is religion. The Pharaoh Akhnaten was the first monotheist in recorded story, and his substitution of a one-god religion for the multi-god worship in use when he came to power was responsible for his violent overthrow. The opera describes the rise, reign, and fall of Akhnaten in a series of tableaus.
The 3LP Akhnaten is available as an exclusive limited edition of 250 numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl. This deluxe lift-off box-set contains a 16-page libretto.
