I love Glass's music but all I hear & feel here is a cacophony of drum strikes. The orchestra seems mostly irrelevant.

@paradiddlepedro Hahahahaha yeah I remember reading that somewhere. I literally laughed out loud when I read it hahaha.

Nothing compared to john mackeys piece it calls for you to use drumsticks on your timpani with a warning that you'll damage your heads haha and maybe your timpani. I think its the second part of groove I can't recall right now.

Oh my gosh. My soul died a little bit when he did a buzz roll on a timpani at 3:25ish. I almost cried. Both of these guys create a terrible sound. This is NOT how a timpani should be played...and should sound.

@MattM2011 Philip Glass was in the audience for this performance and thought it was one of the best interpretations of his piece. The conductor is Barbara Yahr who is by far an outstanding conductor and gives a lot of the other young conductors a run for their money. She was also assistant conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony under Maazel. So she knows what she's doing. BTW, the strings sound a little out of tune because it's a community orchestra.

@btsears It's the Greenwich Village Orchestra at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, NYU. Philip Glass was in the audience for this performance and thought it was one of the best interpretations of his piece.
