This student-type was sitting next to me last Tuesday with the score in hand (and I thought I would be the Glass geek!); at the second intermission, I asked to see it because I couldn't hear the organ at all during "Protest", and the organ's buzzy runs under the strings are my favorite part of it. Well, the score don't say nuttin like "Organ: ppp" or "Organ: part is written 'just for fun'-- don't really play it". I also agree that "Evening Song" was gorgeous, esp. with the images of King and Gandhi, surrounded by a darkening sky, both unexpectedly Alone. Reminded me of King Lear in the storm...

Satyagraha was also wondeful. Richard Croft was sublime. If only there were an HD broadcast...
