The Richness of Reich's Repetition

Read "The Richness of Reich's Repetition" reviewed by Scott Gudell


Almost as in deference to the minimalist approach of composer Steve Reich, these two discs distill their titles down to simply Reich / Richter on one and Steve Reich on the other. It's a hint on what's about to come. Reich/Richter Ensemble Intercontemporain Nonesuch Records 2022 Steve Reich, ...

Akusmi: Fleeting Future
