ON Tuesday I saw a fascinating concert by Steve Reich and Bang on a Can at Disney Hall. Once considered a minimalist with few ties to the mainstream, Mark Swed wrote in his review, Reich is now one of the most important and influential composers alive.
I sat down with Reich a few years ago and found him very accessible and easy going. My article starts by referring to the landmark “Music for 18 Musicians,” which he led on Tuesday night. I’ve heard this piece perhaps more than any other piece of music not by the Beatles, and it was a thrill to see it and get a sense of exactly where all those shifting sounds emerged from.
The concert led off with the classic early Reich piece, “Clapping Music.” Here is Swed’s full review.
Respect for sharing this stuff. It’s very in time as I am trying pains just like this, also I’m what is adipex actually intending trying it for myself.
