 Maki Namekawa, draped in a gorgeous kimono of wintry white with blue and pink flowers, offered us a middle ground between the two men. She was clearly able to pull off the technical side of the works, and seemed to concentrate her attention on exposing the heart of Glass' that beat within each piece. In some cases this meant doing and rocking in time to the arpeggiated cords; other times dancing left hand over right (or vice versa) in order to add the embellishments that punctuated some of the chordal patterns. Often this effort meant allowing the tempo to accelerate or decelerate according to the unwritten breath patterns of the works, a reminder that despite the surface appearance, this is not meant to be music for mechanical jukeboxes, but pieces of art for living, breathing performers. Maki Namekawa, draped in a gorgeous kimono of wintry white with blue and pink flowers, offered us a middle ground between the two men.
