The title sounds modest, but behind it lies one of the greatest understatements in the music scene: Music for 18 Musicians was the name given by the American composer Steve Reich to his work from 1976. Today, almost forty years later, it is one of the most famous examples of the minimal music style, which has had an enormous impact. Now the reference recording of this legendary composition is being released on vinyl - with Steve Reich and Musicians.
The almost hour-long composition for various instruments and female voices combines everything that is so fascinating about Reich's minimal music style: The colorful phase shifting of individual chord sequences, whose technique the composer gained from studies of psychoacoustic experiments and influences of complex rhythms from Africa or Bali, among other things, the hypnotic time-stretching effects, superimpositions of several musical layers to create a new form of polyphony.The most prominent recording of the work, which is simply called the "Nonesuch version" in connoisseur circles, was made by Reich himself with a group of musicians. it won a Grammy Award in 1998 and influenced many musicians of the younger generation far beyond the boundaries of avant-garde classical music. Just last year, Reich surprised the music world with the album Radio Rewrite, for which he was inspired by the English band Radiohead, among others.
ReviewsScala No. 6/1998: "Steve Reich and his band present a grandiose celebration of magical rhythms, strict sequencing and jazzy accents that is second to none unparalleled."
