The best people 💙 Complete Steve Reich string quartets with Mivos Quartet at Bang on a Can Long Play Festival - stuff of dreams.

Complete Steve Reich string quartets with Mivos Quartet ahead at Long Play Festival today!!! Starting with Different Trains (1988), Reich began adopting the quartet tradition into his idiom, resulting in subsequent Triple Quartet (1998) and WTC 9/11 (2010), all to be heard today.

It’s Bang on a Can Long Play Festival Saturday!! Looking forward to catching Rebekah Heller perform Steve Reich Grand Street Counterpoint (2003/2023) - that is to say her riveting bassoon arrangement of Cello Counterpoint (2003). Album take here: rebekahheller.bandcamp.com/track/grand-st…

Friends in NYC, if you’d fancy to hear the BRSO and Simon Rattle perform Thomas Adès, Wagner and Beethoven at Carnegie Hall tonight, drop a note. You’s have to put up with me, but at least the music will be brillant!

Tonight Carnegie Hall - the US premiere of Thomas Adès's Aquifer from Simon Rattle and BRSO.
