A Wonderful and Moving Performance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2008

Verified Purchase

Like reviewer Keith Thomson, I too was at first a little puzzled by the disappointment of some of the reviewers: I found "The Cave" very beautiful and very moving. Mr Thomson is very perceptive as a critic when he writes "to appreciate this piece, one must have a mind that is invited by the theological. This is a religious piece of music ... and it is expressed primarily through the spoken word." ("The Cave" was especially moving to me since I am a Christian and my beloved daughter-in-law is a Muslim. And also, that Steve Reich is Jewish.) Well done, Mr and Mrs Reich!

The Cave - food for thought

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2003

In fact this release is incomplete: it contains the music but not the images that definitely belong to the production. It deserves a DVD release like Three Tales. It would have been 5 stars rating as DVD I guess!
I was lucky to witness a live performance, so I can recall the images. However, there is much to be enjoyed by everyone, but I can imagine it needs time and effort if you're not yet familiar with the whole idea behind The Cave. My advise is:
read the booklet, hear the voices, listen to the music, feel the emotions. enjoy!

Responses are controversial and polarized

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 18, 2004

It's interesting that the Amazon customer review responses to this work, particularly from diehard Reich fans, are so varied. I've so enjoyed Reich since I happened upon his music by attraction to the album cover of Octet, in late 70's. I loved his first burst of success, Octet, Music for 18 Musicians, and others. The first piece to which I was truly resistant was Desert Music which incorporated choral singing into the design of his work. Years later I caught up with Reich's expanding palette and came to enjoy Desert Music. Now, even many more years later, while listening to "The Cave" from the 10 CD, Reich retrospective, I realize that this piece, "The Cave", is very moving to me. I love the instrumental intonation or shadowing of the spoken vocal lines. Appreciating this piece, one may be likely to have a mind that is invited by the theological. At it's core this is a religious - Judaic - piece of music; and it's starting point is the spoken word, the powerful means by which the Jewish people expressed and passed on their faith. The spoken word creates the tonal environment, much as nature and city sounds may be used as a tonal base for writing environmental music. I find this work very moving and very beautiful. It certainly does not depend upon experiencing the multi-media presentation of the live performance, though I surely would enjoy seeing it.

Overbearing and dreary...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2001

I'm disappointed to report that the first major Steve Reich work to appear in quite some time is a total drag. I hope his music doesn't continue down this dead-end path. The rhythmic and harmonic freshness and appeal heard in such brilliant and varied pieces as Different Trains, Music for 18 Musicians, Octet, and The Desert Music is distilled here into short episodes of watered-down Reich-isms. The spoken samples that were so seamlessly interwoven into Different Trains just sort of sit there in The Cave. And the socio-spiritual elements are totally overbearing, dragging the music down further. Steve Reich has always been one of my favorite composers...I hope he finds a way to develop his unique style more successfully in future projects. It's somewhat disturbing that the most interesting Steve Reich release in the past 10 years was all remixes by other artists. I think he should re-focus on the music and avoid musical-theatre concepts like "The Cave".

Uncompelling

This music is hard to listen to. Perhaps the performance was better. Fans of pop-minimalism won't like this CD set.
