In the afterglow of his 60th birthday in 1997, Nonesuch Records delivered Steve Reich and his listeners an immense gift, this 10-CD retrospective of his work for the label, extending from his earliest tape-manipulation pieces to his most recent compositions utilizing samplers and the video artistry of Beryl Korot. Aside from the ear's liquid sense-making when it hears the dense and limber marimbas of Reich's Six Marimbas or his taut, dizzying Piano Phase, there is a physical response almost inevitable in Reich's music. It stuns and holds you. And he knows it. It's Gonna Rain struck an early chord of inventiveness, featuring an African American Pentecostal preacher's sermon and eventually spinning the title phrase into a jangling repetition of single words. Percussion works abound here: Clapping and Drumming stun with their deceptive similarity and warm clarity. Perennial favorite Piano Phase features pianists Nurit Tilles and Eduard Neumann synched up on two pianos and careening at full tilt in unison before their four hands fall out of time and phrase with each other, only to realign in a powerful swooping demonstration of energy and focus. The latter CDs hold abundant delights, many revealing Reich's late-discovered spiritualism and Judaica: Different Trains' examination of the Holocaust; Tehillim's shimmering Hebrew texts sung with fascinating choral power; Proverb's invocation of Perotin. Closing the set are recent pieces: Nagoya Marimbas, and the sampler-rich City Life and The Cave. --Andrew Bartlett

buy the CD's

Verified Purchase

This collection of Steve reichs works is simply amazing. Be sure to buy the cd's as trying iTunes the album was corrupted and several tracks were unplayable. This is why I still buy CDs the album art and the booklet about the works in the box set really make it worth your money.

Classic, but not the definitive...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2004

While a multi CD collection spanning 30 years does sound very promsing, Nonesuch cannot offer all of the best recordings of some of Reich's masterpieces (Music for 18 Musicians or Drumming), and some have been missed out completely (Music for a Large Ensemble), presumably because the piece was not recorded under the Nonesuch label. While the collection is formidable, a listener wanting to hear the best recordings of all the pieces might do better seeking out the older (or longer!) recordings of the pieces.

A great set for coming to appreciate and enjoy Reich

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2019

I listened to the ten discs over a period of several months, rather than all at once. I truly had hated Reich when I saw his work performed live decades back. I bought acclaimed performances on CD of the 18 Musicians, and it didn't change my perspective. Over the decades, I'd come to admire and enjoy the work of Philip Glass and John Adams, and decided I should give Reich another listen. The early discs had me intrigued, sometimes enthralled, So I continued through the whole set, giving each disc two listens before moving on. I found the set very well performed, and each disc provocative and a delight to hear. I don't claim to have the ear or music theory of earlier reviewers. I've always loved Messaien, and can't imagine why one would think of him as akin to Reich. I wrote this review because I found the earlier reviews so surprising in their negativity. But again I came expecting little and learned to appreciate Reich. Having gone this set, I've sought to listen to most of his work of more recent decades.

Performances (and music) lack passion and beauty

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2007

Steve Reich, unlike most classical composers, is well-known in the popular music world owing to his influence on many musicians of the "post rock" period.

After having heard and been impressed by his Six Pianos and Four Organs , I was eager to hear a full collection of his material since he began composing in the 1960s. However, there is really little of note in the ten discs of "Steve Reich 1965-1995".

Even the two pieces whose first two performances I initially liked are not performed as well here - and with hindsight they are nothing compared to, say, Messiaen's organ works in terms of emotion and depth. The rest of the work here is no better, for instance the acclamied "Music for 18 Musicians" certainly lacks the passion of the post-rock it is often claimed to have been a major influence on. It also is very boring because the many instruments are unable to show the subtle variations of texture that are often possible with a single instrument, especially one liek an organ. Some of Reich's works, even if prelude to the sampling era, are just annoying noise created by tape loops that seem out of place in a work devoted to classical music.

His later work, though easier to listen to, approaches blandness and the orchestras seem to be playing something that has been played before.

It's really good to be able to notice the mediocre music in the classical, as well as the popular field, and this is amongst them. you will not gain much by hearing this lengthy set. There is much better music amongst modern classical composers.

Problems with the MP3 product transaction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2020

I own the CD set, which is marvelous. I've been trying to buy the MP3 album set for three days and the whole sales process for this particular MP3 album is broken, which I've reported to Amazon. I bought a different MP3 album set in front of an Amazon rep, to prove it's not a problem with my account. I'm writing this review here as a public marker while Amazon gets their act together and fixes the ability to buy this MP3 album. No, I don't want Amazon Music Unlimited, free trial or not!
