I agree that the organ was way too soft. 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…

woah! increadibly creepy (yet oddly aesthetically pleasing, in a disturbing way) photograph on bedroom community. I bet CW isn’t posing for album covers in some kind of avant-garde demented bloodlust (although, the Ernst Blofeld mockup kinda does the trick…….) Can’t wait for the album [and crosses fingers for Skip Town and that other interesting looking track]

You were wonderful on Sirius, I did not not know of you until that moment but I now listen to “Speaks Volumes” non-stop…no that’s not true, sometimes I sleep.
Satyagraha was also wondeful. Richard Croft was sublime. If only there were an HD broadcast…

Satyagraha was amazing but how did you manage to sit through the last third of it more than once? I really really really don’t inderstand.

Nico responds: because the last eight minutes are my favorite-favorite.

You so crazy for liking those Bassoon Variations! Isn’t there some sort of Rule about that? They are great though.

Even as I type this, a judge is granting Charles Wuorinen a restraining order against you.
