A surprising, enlightening series of conversations that shed new light on the music and career of “our greatest living composer” (New York Times)
Steve Reich is a living legend in the world of contemporary classical music.

"Steve Reich is a living legend in the world of contemporary classical music. He is one of the pioneers of the minimalist movement in the 1960s and his works have become central to the musical landscape worldwide, influencing generations of younger artists and musicians. In the decades since, he has explored non-Western music traditions and American vernacular music as well as groundbreaking video opera. He has toured the world with his own ensemble and his compositions have been performed by major orchestras and ensembles. [] Now Reich sits down with past collaborators, fellow composers, and musicians influenced by his work to reflect on his prolific career as a composer as well as the music that inspired him and that has been inspired by him. Through this series of insightful, wide-ranging conversations about the highlights, successes, and creative influences of Reich's work, we gain a compelling glimpse into the career of "the most original musical thinker of our time" (New Yorker)." [jacket copy] "CONVERSATIONS articulately and bracingly shows Reich engaging in engrossing dialogues with a variety of interviewers, including conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, Broadway icon Stephen Sondheim, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. It's a kaleidoscopic portrait of Reich from 19 different angles, all illuminating and all very much him."--Los Angeles Times. "The greatness of Steve Reich is a given. His reputation as a prime originator in contemporary music is more or less etched in stone."--Alex Ross. "Reich was intent on restoring the pleasure principle to contemporary music. . . He didn't reinvent the wheel so much as he showed us a new way to ride."--John Adams, composer. "Iconoclastic American composer Steve Reich is singular in his own right, and when he is in conversation with other equally iconoclastic composers, conductors, sculptors, musicians, percussionists, and video artists, sparks not only fly, they sparkle. . . Reich and his colleagues conduct lovely give-and-takes during which they share stories, creative approaches, and viewpoints. . . Reich's CONVERSATIONS is the best kind of eavesdropping."--Booklist. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. Quite presentable. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers RUB3792
