Steve Reich: The Master

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2022

Now in his ninth decade, its hard to expect groundbreaking new work from Steve Reich. He's unlikely to produce new works that cause as much rethinking of music as "It's Gonna Rain" or the "Music for 18 Musicians." And as a experienced composer, sometimes it seems like he is recycling his basic ideas or overlaying such as strong verbal track on the underlying music that his recent works have not had the power of his earlier work. "Different Trains" was devastating; the works on 9/11 and Daniel Perl felt more forced to me.

So I turned to this new suite and find it is beautiful, fully realized, with a a tantalizing mix of instruments, great energy, some inventiveness. On first listen: a delight, even something to recommend as a good introduction to someone who has not heard Reich's other work. Best new music from Reich in a long time. Strongly recommend.

Art Inspiring Art

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

Composed for a video art exhibit [and book] by Gerhard Richter that involves a series of halving and turning of a stripped pattern into pixels and back, Steve Reich's music has a built-in rhythmic base in which to play. The metered notes, half, quarter, eights, sixteenths, offered by Ensemble intercontemporain in the acoustic wonder of Philharmonie de Paris-Cité, named for Pierre Boulez, produce an engaging melodic pattern. This is a concert recording to add to the magic. The instrumentation is what we expect, with vibraphones and reeds, plus strings and piano. Floating lightly with gentle movement, the music is recognizably Reich, but the work is different from his previous projects. The meditative slow patterns of most of the piece end with the familiar vigor of piano pulse and weaving reeds. As he is presently age 85, the album proves he is far from retiring; he has more sounds to explore. Thus, the abstract geometric patterns of the art is aptly matched by the music: art inspiring art in synergy.

新しい作曲スタイルへ。

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on July 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

久しぶりに新作を聴きました。タイトルはド直球な「スティーヴ・ライヒとゲルハルト・リヒターとのコラボ作品」で、ジャケット、リーフレット、レーベルはリヒターの片対数目盛りを色分けしたような水平線のアートワーク。

音楽は一定のパルスの上に展開する従来のスタイルではなく、周期の違う複数のパルスが同時に進行するスタイルになっています。反復音楽の作曲の大家に甘んじることなく進歩しつづけるライヒのエネルギーに感心しました。

現代音楽の演奏ではとびきり腕利きのアンサンブル・アンテルコンタンポラン、ジョージ・ジャクソンの指揮。編成は木管2-2-2-0, 2Vib, 2Pf, 2Vl, Va, Vc。ピアノは永野英樹の名もあります。録音が悪いのが残念。

Ⅰ: Opening 9:09
Ⅱ: Patterns & Scales 10:03
Ⅲ: Cross Fades 12:53
Ⅳ: Ending 4:37

急・急・緩・急の４楽章ですが、演奏は連続し、Ⅰの終わりからⅡのパターンやスケールが始まるとか、緩やかなⅢの終わりからⅣの急速なパルスが始まるなど切れ目が互いに滲んでる感じで「18人の音楽家のための音楽」のセクションに似ています。緩徐楽章はテンポがどんどん下がる、音価がどんどん伸びる、など「フォー・オルガンズ」を連想しました。

Amazon.co.jpで1,609円で購入。ドイツ盤。２つ折り紙ジャケット。内側に演奏者一覧と録音・デザインデータ。トレーなし。リーフレット12ページ。ライヒとG.ジャクソンとの対談。英語。ワーナーミュージック・ジャパンの正規輸入品ではないらしく、前島秀国氏による書き下ろし日本語解説書・日本語帯は付いていません。翻訳サイトもあるので不自由しませんが、ほしい人は「日本語解説/日本語帯付」または「正規輸入品」の表示があるものを。

翻訳サイトより。ライヒとの対談には「リヒターは彼の抽象画の1枚をコンピューターに取り込み、それを半分、さらに半分に切り4分割して2つを鏡像反転。半分から4分の1、8分の1、16分の1、32分の1、…、4096分の1まで、分割、鏡像のプロセスを繰り返すことで、抽象画から徐々に小さな擬人化された『生き物』（鏡像によって両側が対称になるため）、さらに小さな『サイケデリック』な抽象画、そしてゆっくりと非常に細かい色のストライプへと移行していく。」とあります。

これをライヒは音楽の構成原理に置き換えて、「『2ピクセル』のカラーストライプから始まるフィルムを、音楽は2つの16分音符の振動パターンで始め、フィルムが4ピクセルになると、音楽は4つの16分音符のパターンに移り、さらに8つ、16つと変化していく。この変化は、正確に同期しているわけではなく、緩やかに連携しているに過ぎない。（中略）最初は8分音符、後に4分音符と、長い音価を導入し、映画の中盤で、クロスフェードセクションが始まり、ピクセル数が膨大になるにつれ、音楽は2分音符を数小節にわたって保持することで本当にゆっくりとしたものになる。その後、画素数が減り始めると、音楽はようやく8分音符、そして16分音符に戻り、カラーストライプが最も激しく急速な動きをするところで終了する。」としています。

スティーブ・ライヒの音楽の総決算のようなアルバムで、画家のリヒターの作品のイメージとも重なるような気がしないでもないです。ライヒは聴いたことはないというビギナーにもおすすめします。ミニマルミュージックの面白さ、奥深さをご体験下さい。

Ravishing music but a few caveats on the release

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The best of Reich/Richter is up front; it's first fifteen minutes or so are a scintillating progression from a simple two-note beginning to extended passages of increasingly luminous beauty. The temperature thereafter drops a little as the pace slows, and slows again, until the music moves into a series of ravishing cross-fades shared between the strings and winds, eventually slowing still further to a condition of almost glacial stasis. A return to faster tempos sees the piece out with bravura energy. This may be the most beautiful, and possibly the most ambitious, of Reich's compositions in the last decade, and well worth anyone's money.

So why only three stars? The music alone would merit at least four but this release has several drawbacks that drag it down.

For one thing, it's a live recording rather than a studio one, with all the incidental noise and somewhat muddy textures (despite an excellent remaster) that you might expect. It's from a concert in Paris in 2020 and has in fact, albeit in less polished form, long been available to stream for free via the Radio France website. For another, Reich/Richter is in essence an audio/visual work, the music written to accompany the film 'Moving Picture (946-3)' by the artist Gerhard Richter and filmmaker Corinna Belz. A premium release from one of the worlds greatest living composers should surely have deserved investment in a high-quality studio recording and co-release with the visual artwork. As it is, this edition can't help but feel a little as if it's been done 'on the cheap'.

Still, any release of Steve Reich's recent music is to be welcomed since Nonesuch, Reich's label of almost forty years, hasn't covered itself in glory of late; there has been only one other dedicated release of his music in the past eight years, and in the meantime something of a backlog of new compositions has been building up. Nonesuch promises a box-set release of his complete works in 2023, at which point we might hope to see the so far ignored works - Runner, Music for Ensemble & Orchestra, and Traveler's Prayer - added to the catalogue. Here's hoping this rather half-hearted release proves the exception rather than the rule.
