One of the best performances I've ever heard of this wonderful piece of music. Thank you for sharing this to us.

[c0c0dabaddest]

it sounds just like Glass's actual piece to me.absolutely excellent job.

[SOUTHTEXASDEATHRIDE1]

This music sends me insane but in a good way. As much i love the sound of pplause after an excellent performance, it just sounded so sharp compared to the piano!

For several videos I saw about people playing this piece, this is the most succesfull, playing and reproducing the feeling of a Glass's piece, it's not always the case, respect for that

You’re welcome :B

The Best perfomance!!!! Thank you.

how andrew can actually bring something new to this masterpiece speaks to the artistry necessary to the virtuoso as it is the composer...

both intellectual and emotionally desparate!!!

bravo

douglas

the kind of music where i actually experience the shiver, which is a good thing, and why i became a musician

this is really good but the sound is weird. it almost seems like this is dubbed over - the piano sounds SUPER clean in a recital hall when there aren't any mikes on the actual piano (maybe there are and I just can't see it). it also sounds like it switches out from live time to recorded time at 25-26 seconds. : /

EITHER WAY, gorgeous piece!! : )

[gliistian]

really excellent playing, but wrong around 2:08 min. Third part (B flat7 chord; right hand; as - d instead of d - as!) Sorry but you played it in a wrong order. just a small note.

[rainingautumn]

Nothing more to say as !!!Excelent playing!!!!
