Steve Reich, a pioneer in minimalist and avant-garde composition, presents a captivating exploration of rhythm and repetition with his album "Double Sextet. Radio Rewrite." Released on August 26, 2016, under the harmonia mundi label, this 39-minute journey delves into the intricate layers of classical music with a modern twist. The album features two distinct works: "Double Sextet," a piece originally composed for twelve musicians, and "Radio Rewrite," inspired by the music of Radiohead. Both compositions are divided into multiple movements, each marked by its tempo—fast or slow—creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. Reich's signature style shines through in these pieces, offering a blend of complexity and accessibility that has made him a celebrated figure in contemporary classical music.
