A new double album, honouring the 80th Birthday of the minimal music
pioneer. Includes 2 world premiere recordings. Steve Reich, one of the
most influential composers of our time and key founder of the minimalist
school of music, is celebrating his 80th birthday on 3 October 2016.
The album is not only a celebration of his birthday but also a result of
a 3-year-project that started with Reich's residency as "composer in
residence" at the MDR Radio Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra-choirs
versions of "Daniel" and "You Are Variations" are therefore world
premiere recordings. "Duet" was dedicated to and written for Sir Yehudi
Menuhin for his 80th birthday. "Clapping Music" is performed on this
album by Steve Reich himself and Kristjan Järvi. CD 1 includes Live
performances at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig / CD 2 includes studio
recordings. (Presto Classical)A new double album, honouring the 80th Birthday of the minimal music
