Reich's glorious Psalms!

One of the most joyous compositions on a religious theme. The women's voices soar intoxicatingly in rhythms that will send to your feet, clapping wildly.

two recordings conflated

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2012

Just a warning -- the reviews for two completely different recordings have been combined. You will see the same reviews for the ECM and Nonesuch releases of Tehillim, which is really confusing, since some reviews blast one in favor of the other but only reference "this" and "the other" recording. For what it's worth, I treasure (five stars) the original ECM recording (blue cover) of Tehillim featuring Steve Reich and Musicians The Nonesuch recording uses other forces (though confusingly with Reich himself on the cover) and the singing is too... "hoot"-y for me (I give it three stars). And like others, Three Movements doesn't do much for me.

Tehillim amazing, performance mediocre

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2002

Tehillim is an incredible, uplifting, mesmerizing piece of music. Unfortunately, there hasn't yet been a halfway decent recording made of it. For various technical reasons, I feel that this is a *slightly* stronger recording than the other one (with the blue cover). Both recordings have moments of extremely poor intonation, in particular in unison passages between voice and clarinet. Having played this piece with fine singers and fine clarinetists, I can assure you that while it's difficult to tune, it's not impossibile. The singers are straight-tone (non-vibrato) throughout, but their voices sound harsh, rather than the clear color that Reich intended. My primary reason for picking this Tehillim recording is the several painfully obvious splices that can be heard in the other one. The sound editor simply did a weak job. And perhaps the overall sound quality here is a little higher, though only slightly. The addition of "Three Movements" on this disc should not be a consideration. It's a weak piece. In any case, Tehillim is worth owning, but a recording hasn't yet been made that does it justice. If you haven't heard it yet and want to, I'd recommend this recording. If you just want an introduction to some of this incredible composer's best music, grab "The Cave" or "Different Trains." And wait until a decent recording of Tehillim comes out.

Not typical Steve Reich

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2007

Tehillim differs from most other works by Reich. It has long lyrical melodies. It has singing. The rhythm never repeats itself; it sounds like a random combination of twos and threes. It has chromatic harmonies. It has a more spontaneous, emotional feel, rather than being calculated and mechanical. So even people who don't like Reich's other works might enjoy this one.

3 MOVEMENTS is fine quality entertainment

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2005

Congratulations to Reich for his painfully dull titles. Title-wise, THREE MOVEMENTS is right up there with Bartok's MUSIC FOR STRINGS BLAH-BLAH-BLAH. The first movement is pretty boring. But I was impressed by Movement #2 and Movement #3. A lot of interesting harmonic tension is created by the 2 antiphonal orchestral sections. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten around to listening to TEHILLIM.

Excellent music - it happens to be minimalist

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2000

Minimalist music easily slips into mere repetition even it the best of composers - a fact that makes some people unwilling to give it a fair hearing. However, Reich shows here that minimalist music can be precisely the right setting for the Psalms. On the cd The Sacred Bridge, you can hear the close resemblance between Gregorian chant settings and Hebrew chant settings for the Psalms. I believe the best way to describe Reich's piece is as a new chant form - minimalistic. The instrumentation is very well chosen - 4 women's voices, a variety of percussion instruments, clarinet, flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn, violins, viola, cello, bass and electric organs. The effect is an agelessness of the sound that is very appropriate to the Psalms. The piece appears to be less repetitive than most minimalist work - variation and canon-like passages predominating.
An excellent addition to the sacred music repetoire.

Tehillim

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on March 10, 2016

Tehillim, un chef-d'oeuvre de Steve Reich qui s'inspire ici de diverses cantillations traditionnelles. Pas besoin d'être connaisseur de la musique contemporaine pour y être sensible. Période de composition qui n'est plus celle, stricto sensu, du minimalisme - tant mieux !
