i love how the clarinetists danced haha

[amistrymister]

brilliant.

[DonBabbage]

What a pity this is only so short... would love to see a video of the entire performance. I don't mind the loud voices... this is very energetic!

[smzmusic]

Way too loud, and the dancing means the musicians aren't feeling larger sections and larger lines... Refined players don't need to hammer out the sections so loudly... The forced quality makes it sound amateurish.

[minimalisminmusic]

very nice performance, however Reich says his music should conduct to a hypnotic meditation and self-control. So...stop dancing the lambada :D

just kidding, men!
