Mixed by Bobby Previte from a beautifully recorded 48 track session, this version of the Constellations is a new, re-orchestration featuring the Ensemble PLUS David Patrick Kelly as narrator. Recorded at the US Premiere at the Winter Garden of the World Financial Center, New York City, October 28, 2008.

Put all the other recordings of this work aside. This is the new, definitive recording of this piece, and the one that most accurately reflects the new live show.
