Actually, according to the liner notes,the Glass Concerto was dedicated to
Paul Zukofsky (who premiered it) and Dennis Russell Davies. Nevertheless,
I'm glad that this concerto has come up in topic. Like him or hate him, I
think that the middle movement is certainly one of the best things Glass
has written.
