I played this for my grandfather when he was in hospice on my grandmas piano, he was pretty much entirely unresponsive and wouldn’t move or speak but when I played this he opened his eyes and watched and then he said “I love you” to me. It was probably the last music that he heard before passing that same night. Wonderful piece with so much meaning.

Just had my first piano lesson today, at the age of 41. My end goal is to be able to play Mad Rush. Wish me luck...

My brother who passed away a few years ago, was alone most of his life. I found 9 Philip Glass cd's . After listening to this music, it must have been what gave him peace.

I was there, I was only 18 at the time. The man next to me cried the whole time. Me too. It was a huge moment. To this day, it's still the most beautiful thing that has been given to me to see.

How incredible is it that we can hear a composer preform their own work like this? Unbelievably beautiful.

[fai]

being interrupted by an add while listening to this is terrorizing....

[andreapaul]

How incredibly privileged are we to be able to listen and watch an amazing living composer play his own work. Just beautiful.

One of those pieces that stick with you for life...exhilarating

Played this recording to my dad on his death bed. It was the best thing I could think of playing for him on his journey to the wherever with peace and joy. Thanks forever to Phillip Glass.

All the musicians in the orchestra are stunned. You feel something special is happening.

I'm a huge PG fan and had seen him play many times since I first saw him live in 1987. He doesn't perform anymore at 86, but he's still writing music. I just saw him in Carnegie Hall a few months back and he was up in the balcony and we waved at each other. I then pumped my fist in the air and he did the same. Love ya PG!

This man has had such an enormous impact on the art of the 20th century and the man on the street has no idea who he is. We literally live in a world that’s been shaped by Phil Glass.

A lot of people play Glass's piano music with a certain rigidity. It's great to hear him play with a more organic approach. An undulation of natural ebb and flow.

i saw Philip Glass at a tiny college theater two weeks ago. he walked out and sat at a grand piano and started to play Mad Rush. i instantly started crying. i couldnt believe i was witnessing him perform 10 feet from me.

My mother died when I was 13 in 1983, and I remember playing Philip's cassette probably a hundred times over the course of the next 6 months. His music will forever transport me.

3 ads in a piece like that is criminal.

The orchestra members had the best seats in the house, and their faces say all that needs to be said about this performance.

[orion]

going to the mountains in the night and playing this on my headphones while looking at the stars. Bliss!

Something about how the piano resonates creates this almost pseudo-orchestral or choral shimmer to the piece. One of my favorite performances by one of my favorite composers
