Oh well, I must have mixed this up with the Adams concerto, which was
dedicated to Kremer (or am I wrong here, too?). Indeed the the second
movement of the Glass concerto is very beautyful! Maybe the concerto *is*
the best thing Glass wrote, at least for me. Though I would agree with
Steve Schwartz that the Adams concerto is by far more impressive. I have
seen Kremer doing the Adams live some years ago in Heidelberg and it was
a very interesting experience!
