Reich, Steve: Reich/Richter LP

This first recording of Steve Reich's 2019 piece Reich/Richter is performed by Ensemble intercontemporain and conducted by George Jackson. The composition was originally written to be performed with Gerhard Richter and Corinna Belz's film Moving Picture (946-3), for which Richter's book Patterns served as source material. "Reich's music ... expands from minimalist austerity to more full-bodied passages and back again," says the Financial Times. "Reminiscent of his earliest work, it is very beautiful."
