  • Branka Parlic plays Glass like I have never heard him played before. My gosh what a wonderful performer ! Many thanks for sharing !

  • No Sir. Wichita Vortex Sutra is the correct title. This music was written for Allen Ginsberg's poem of the same name.

  • @stevepolta Well actually, the title of the song is Wichita Sutra Vortex (according to the liner notes, anyway). The title of the poem is Wichita Vortex Sutra. I think Glass and Ginsberg switched around the name to distinguish the two from each other.

  • What an uninteresting music... however I will play it for my family who likes it...

  • Maybe too rigid, but i can't find original song, just interpretation and covers...

  • @ohlordbabyjesus ive never heard it with the poem (going to after this, lol) and i just love this piece, so may be a question of habit

  • @jesusfish305 No the Composer of this piece is Philip Glass. this woman is the performer.

  • Kind of loses something when someone isn't reciting the poem over it. 

  • two kinds of people in this world, those who love philip glass and those who don't

  • @jesusfish305 oh my god...

  • beautiful play!

  • @m8nirvana8m

    What Rhaptapsody was referring to is that many people prefer the emotional edge that Branka puts into her music. When Philip Glass plays it, it tends to have a different feel than Branka's version, his is usually more chaotic, quicker, and choppier. Branka tends to play it more methodically and in a hypnotic, relaxed manner which lends itself well to the minimalist style. It's a matter of taste really, as Glass often intended his music to be chaotic.
