even had this been the only thing Glass wrote, his life would have been worth living

This is quite possibly my favorite Glass piece, and pretty much every time I've heard a string quartet perform it, my reaction has been... "Meh, I don't like their interpretation as much as the Kronos version."
This is the first time I've NOT had that reaction!
I'm floored.

@quartesto i saw the jack quartet preform this live, you guys are just as amazing. this is a great piece
-
really fantastic performance. better then the kronos version i'd say
-
so awesome especialy the converse

The interpretation makes ALL the difference. If the conductor doesn't know and feel 'the pocket", as we Americans say, of the composition and arrangement, particularly the tempo, it ruins the entire piece. Quartesto is so deep in the pocket with Glass' works, it's like they're inside his head or have been coached by him personally. Simply SUPERB!!

This is sooo great. I love Philip Glass music, sometimes even more than the classics I shamefully admit.
