Episode 129: 19129 Steve Reich - The String Quartets

Between 1988 and 2010, Steve Reich composed three string quartets – Different Trains, Triple Quartet and WTC 9/11. Deutsche Grammophon now presents this trilogy of works for the first time on one album, in definitive new recordings from the Mivos Quartet. Hailed by The Chicago Reader as “one of America’s most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles”, the Mivos players developed their interpretations of the three quartets – inspired by the music of speech, echoes of Bartók and the events of a day transformed by terror – in close collaboration with the composer. Track Listing:1 Reich: WTC 9/11: I. 9/11/01 03:382 WTC 9/11: II. 2010 (Pt. 1) 00:523 WTC 9/11: II. 2010 (Pt. 2) 05:144 WTC 9/11: II. 2010 (Pt. 3) 01:215 WTC 9/11: III.
