I have this on an album by the Kronos Quartet, who for my money are about the foremost interpreters of Glass' work -- at least, the smaller-scale works. This performance, by Brooklyn Rider, however, is creditable, at the very least (yes, it's another case of no video of a live performance by Kronos, which is odd, at a minimum):
And yes, I'm about as enthusiastic about Glass as I am about Riley -- at least, since he left serial minimalism behind and broadened his scope. (Way back when, I used to regularly attend Glass' concerts in Chicago. He was still pretty much serial minimalist at that point, but I soon discovered that it was a lot easier to watch the concerts than listen to the recordings. Maybe because people were moving around and such.)
