Catalogue # CHSA5091

‘Minimalism’ for the thinking music-lover, rewarding and significant repertoire

Hearing these performances, Steve Reich described them as ‘Incisive, focused, and intense’ and continued ‘this recording of Three Movements is the best I have ever heard. The Desert Music is full, rich, yet full of detail. Kristjan Jrvi, the Tonknstler-Orchester, and Sine Nomine perform with a relaxed rhythmic precision that perfectly fits the music. Bravo and thanks to all.’

Chorus Sine Nomine, Tonkustler Orchester Niederosterich, Kristian Jarvi (conductor)

Review

Reich’s own comment about this recording isparticularly true and on the money: ‘Incisive,focused, and intense … perform[ed]with a relaxed rhythmic precision thatperfectly fits the music.’ This new offeringfrom increasingly present conductor KristjanJarvi features Reich’s Three Movements forOrchestra and The Desert Music. Similar insound world, they are nonetheless importantlydifferent. The Three Movements staysstatic and explores a singular idea, while TheDesert Music takes that sound and expands,contracts and discovers new worlds. Minimalistwithout ever being boring, this is agreat new collection for a music nut of anydescription.
