Easily the finest single thing that Glass ever came up with, and an exquisite performance.

I love this piece. It is quite peculiar among Glass' works. Very elegant, with rich harmonies and very interesting phrasing.

Very good performance. Philip Glass is ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSER IN HISTORY OF MUSIC. Apex of His Music - partita for Violin solo, 9,11,12 Symphony's.

The opening piece to Kronos Quartet performs Philip Glass (1995). I LOVE that album. Good to see the youngin's carrying the torch. Sounds Amazing!

[@horrorgardener]

Such a wonderful performance. I've been listening to my Kronos Quartet recording of this music for decades now and this was as good if not better. Thank you for sharing.

[@freddypflugbeil6]

What a beautiful turn on

[@jamescorbett4665]

This is played as it should be played! Amazing... thank you from England x

[@jeffwatkins352]

Wonderfully played with a zesty original take on tempi and dynamics. While this isn't my favorite of the quartets, it's certainly an unusual one in Glass' output.

[@TheBeautyIn3Dee]

Best performance of this music that I've heard. I hope Mr. Glass has had an opportunity to hear it. Bravo.

[@pie3566]

[@xanthippas]

[@gepinomus]

So inspiring, delicate, expressive performance and an amazing music! Will waiting more form you. All the best!

Les quatuors de Philip Glass sont pour moi des chefs d’œuvre immortels. Notamment les 2 et 5. Les Études aussi. Philip Glass est le plus grand compositeur de notre temps.

[@joelguzman7662]

awsomeeeeee

[@AndreasSchlapbach]

Powerful performance, thanks for sharing

[@TheBeautyIn3Dee]

The fastest tempi for the last movement that I've heard. Wonderful. Better even than the Kronos.

[@sara_kalinowska]

[@maxigavilan]

[@anthonyourbrother]

Dopeness.

[@user-vo6oq1bv8x]

Very good performance but ETALLONIC PERFORMANCE IS - KRONOS QUARTET. SECOND MOVEMENT - MORE INTENSIVE NEEDED

[@lifeisdead01]

Is there a recording of this particular performance? It's the best one I've heard

[@sara_kalinowska]

It’s a recording from my Master Degree exam. It can also be found on SoundCloud soundcloud.app.goo.gl/3r11upAeB9HSnsqZA

[@eduardovazquezortiz9040]

Please! I have a question! Violins have lower G flat in the fifht movement.... is it scordattura?

[@sara_kalinowska]

Hi Eduardo! No, there’s no use of scordatura in this piece:)

[@eduardovazquezortiz9040]

@@sara_kalinowska I suppose it must be a typo then. Unless i'm missing something. Thanks!

[@nylonius]

@@eduardovazquezortiz9040 It looks like an accident on the part of the copyist or the composer: in the fourth bar of Rehearsal no. 8, the violins double the alto line (and the cello line, an octave higher). Perhaps this has been corrected in later editions or it doesn't appear in the parts? There's an analogous line for cello in the fifth bar of rehearsal no. 9 which indicates that the the violins should have 1/16-rests in place of the Gb's.

[@eduardovazquezortiz9040]
