I found the Glenn Branca piece so breath-taking, I don't really have the words to express how good it was.
Agreed about the David Lang cello piece. The cello is such a beautiful instrument, and Maya Beiser was an incredibly beautiful woman playing it, and as a visual performance, this was an important part for me.
Electric Counterpoint was the least good piece, but then it's never been my favourite Reich composition.
And the final performance of a new Gavin Bryars piece was the most surprising. I'm not familiar with Gavin Bryars, but it was a very nice piece, can't add much on that to porky and sonicl.
Many thanks to sonicl, by the way, for driving me to London and back. It was a good day.

ditto. Plus I was generally feeling somewhat humbled by how friendly and nice porky was.
