Just brilliant makes the hairs on my arms stand up. This is my favourite metamorphosis. Glass' own recording is much better but he did write it

wow, such power... it`s as if I`m being cast off a wave! It`s hard to describe, but it has such an impact on both mind and heart(sounds clichè, ):)

Wasn't it the great composer Robert Schumann who said that we would be doing music a disservice if we only praised the good without criticising the bad? This woman plays this piece without any feel - listen to Glass' own recording of this and you'll see what I mean. Too fast as well, and poor dynamics that have nothing to do with a compressor or with youtube.

You're right.

I s'pose for many of us musos the price tag does put a Fazioli a bit beyond our love of minimalistic music. So, you'd expect an expert in cybernetic fractals should be able to figure out how to couple a third pedal to her Roland EP2000 ....and then metamorphose Philip's score for electronic piano. Last time I asked, she said "Trust me, I'm a doctor". I'll get in touch for an appointment....and keep you guys posted.

Hey bobbybambino28, my only-half-serious comment on the Third Pedal solution was s'posed to be a thumbs-up to your post... then my wayward fat finger hit your down thumb by mistake...let's hope a few people hit the other one to make good my goof ;) Thanks everybody: and thanks for posting that truly gorgeous performance.

Yeah...treat yourself to a decent Piano. Sell your Steinway $ Sons grand: it's way past it's used-by. Then put your name down for a Fazioli 308 ....buy a Bosendorfer Imperial while you're waiting. While you're Metamorphosing your new Fazioli third pedal in Philip's magical score, enjoy hearing new harmonies exactly as the composer originally imagined. You won't feel bad about getting rid of the old piano. It's obvious the Sons had lost the plot after Großvater Steinweg died last century.
