Quartetto Testosterone - Philip Glass - String Quartet No. 5 - 5th Movement



My favourite piece of music at the moment 
I would literately do anything to be able to play the 2nd violin part in a quartet....
I love hearing and feeling all the layers of music (the more you listen to it, you can sense the layers and it just isn't a bit of a mess, you can feel the rhythm and harmony, the way it pushes forward, but the first time it can feel a bit awful if you're unsure what you're listening for) and it is pure heaven listening at 3:10 when they all come together and get a train-like section you can just lose yourself in...
And not just listening - That looks pretty immense to play! No effort with the bowing at all, just all natural movement and notes...

No dates in the UK to go to a concert thou... sad times!
