»Music for 18 Musicians«

Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" is a key work of Minimal Music. This kaleidoscopic cosmos of sound for strings, woodwinds, xylophones, pianos, and voices is presented by the all-star band of Ensemble Modern. More than 100,000 recordings of the first recording were sold in 1978. 20 years after the premiere in New York, the piece came to Europe, where Ensemble Modern studied it with the composer. A close relationship developed between Reich and the Ensemble, and they are still experts in his music today.
