Modern Love Waltz

Modern Love Waltz is a favourite composition for the piano by Philip Glass.

The best version (to my taste) is the underrated one by Nicolas Horvath:

It has much more emotion and interpretation than the usual renditions, which are mechanical, cold and rigid. This might have been the intention of the composer, who may have pursued a "modern", clockwork-orangy feeling. But Horvath's interpretation, which is in stark contrast, full of waves, piano-forte and passion, makes the piece (again, in my humble opinion) so highly above the others as to render these amateurish, in comparison. This is a strange feeling because I also like very much the other interpretations, but this is like comparing greatness with perfection. One shies away from the other.
