i've only heard the original recording which seemed very calm and meditative. Quite amazing to hear how different it sounds and feels with 124 players...it sounds like Bruckner or Mahler tripping out. It's interesting to hear a piece that never sounds the same each time (ignoring interpretation). This piece is best heard lying on the floor:-)

@philipglassfan Increíble! would you please tell us the name of the recording you uploaded?
-
There is no original. Terry did not specify instruments. As such there is no original. Although he did recommend 35 players.

I feel this version is alot more darker and loses the sublime neutral feel of the original
-
Sounds like Wagner, Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler all deep in a childhood dream of a major triad - a wind up clock is running nicely, thank you, on the mantel of the fireplace in the nursury. Awww. HUGE FUN. Makes the original recorded performance sound like a chamber recital:-) Thank you

Saw this live last Friday at Carnegie Hall NYC. AWESOME! Terry Riley himself, Philip Glass and many many musicians filled the stage, celebrating its 45 year anniversary. Many of the performers who originally played it were there too. Uplifting and joyful music!
