It's very exciting music, it seems to go in waves, ecstatic then contemplative. The tuning creates some extraordinary effects -- just in terms of sounds, resonances, it is very special.  I love the end, from about 2:27

This is worth watching I think

There's a recording of Feldman's Palais de Mari which is supposedly inspired by Well Tuned Piano, by Pavlos Antoniadis. You'll find it on his soundcloud.

It is one of the few pieces that seeps into my mind - Satie's Vexations (when listened to fully has a similar effect - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZNknHHgm0M).

I listen to it by lying on the ground, lights off, and just allow the music to take me where it will. You'll hear sounds you've never heard before (and intonations of sounds that are defamiliarized thus alienating you from your knowledge and understanding of that sound).

In short, it is an experience, one which requires significant endurance.

On a much smaller scale, Scriabin's Vers la flamme gives us very similar vibes.
