Zarathustra Music is proud to present the world premiere recording of Elliot Goldenthal’s Symphony in G# Minor performed by Pacific Symphony under conductor Carl St Clair.

Composer, conductor and orchestra previously collaborated 20 years before, when Pacific Symphony commissioned and recorded Goldenthal’s highly acclaimed 'Fire, Water, Paper – A Vietnam Oratorio'.

For the occasion of the orchestra’s American Composers Festival 2014, Goldenthal composed his 25 minute symphony, in the obscure yet autobiographical key of G# Minor, especially for the occasion. The work premiered immediately after the composer’s 60th birthday in May 2014 and represents Goldenthal’s first large-scale concert work since 'Fire, Water, Paper'.
