Orange Mountain Music

Orange Mountain Music (OMM) is an American record label founded in 2001 by producer Kurt Munkacsi and Don Christensen. The label was created to serve fans, aficionados, and academics studying the music of composer Philip Glass. It grew out of a project to catalogue and digitally archive all of Glass's master recordings, and in the process, OMM discovered a wealth of unreleased and unusual recordings, which it began issuing to the public in late 2001. OMM also produces recordings by other artists and organizations that have collaborated with Glass over the years. As of its 17th year, the label had over 150 titles in its catalogue, including recordings of all of Glass's symphonies, The Complete Piano Etudes, his string quartets, dozens of operas and theater works, and the entirety of his early compositions, with multiple recordings of seminal pieces like Einstein on the Beach, Koyaanisqatsi, and Music in 12 Parts. The label continues to release new recordings, including recent albums such as Glass: Etudes Polka, Glassworks for Organ, and Glass/Fiumara VITREOUS BODY.

Orange Mountain Music was founded in 2001 by Kurt Munkacsi, a producer of many of Philip Glass's recordings, and Don Christensen, who has served as director of the label since 2001. The label originated from a project to catalogue and digitally archive all of the master recordings that Philip Glass had made over decades of his creative life. Over the last 65 years, Glass produced hundreds of hours of recordings, composing operas, film scores, chamber music, musical theatre pieces, and records. He also recorded many performances of his solo, operatic, orchestral, and ensemble work. While archiving these master recordings, OMM discovered a wealth of beautiful and unusual recordings and inspired performances, which it began releasing to the public in late 2001. OMM also began to produce recordings by other artists and organizations that had collaborated with Glass over the years. By its 17th year, the label had over 150 titles in its catalogue. The catalogue includes recordings of all of Glass's symphonies, The Complete Piano Etudes, his string quartets, dozens of his operas and theater works, and the entirety of his early compositions, including multiple recordings of seminal pieces like Einstein on the Beach, Koyaanisqatsi, and Music in 12 Parts. The label continues to release new recordings, with recent titles such as Glass: Etudes Polka, Glassworks for Organ, and Glass/Fiumara VITREOUS BODY.
