Query: Glass redeemed by performance

I used to be a Glass fan, eagerly awaiting each new release. Then I discovered that Glass, like any other composer, can produce mediocre music as well - something I believe Glass is especially prone to given his style. However, this recording shows what Glass can be, not so much that the composition is inspired as that the instrumentation is inspired; instrumentation is based on instruments constructed by Uakti and traditional instruments - glass marimba, pan pipes, xylophone, flute, tabla, keyboards ...This particular work is intended as the score for a ballet company; it certainly would work in the intended context but it also works as a piece in it's own right. If you don't listen carefully, it may fade into the background as what I think of as "generic new age" - however, if you truly listen to the work, the changes in instrumentation and tempos will convince you this is not generic anything but an innovative rendition well worth your full attention.
