Sensual, deeply psychological and erotic, composer Philip Glass (Oscar nominated for The Hours) adds Asian and Western instrumentation to stories adapted by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly, Flower Drum Song). Powerful and stirring, The Sound of a Voice exposes the dreams and fantasies of a Japanese writer and an aging warrior in a fairy-tale like duel of love and death.
