Thank you for this beautiful piece on my favorite living composer. I have a story to share as well. Glass was on a European tour with Kronos Quartet back in 2016. After Budapest, they had 2 gigs in Bucharest, on the 4th and 5th of July. They played Dracula soundtrack to the restored movie with the same name. On the 4th, all politicians and VIP morons attended the concert, but on the 5th (when I booked my ticket) the amphitheater was barely one third full. Glass played with his elegance and rigour, just as he had the day before in front of a massive audience. I have and will always appreciate his humble way of giving music without craving the fame and glamour other artists cannot live without.
