Andy Akiho, one of the most distinctive composers of our time! I was fortunate to see Vicky premiere this piece at The Stone, NYC.

Vicky Chow is, to my mind, one of the greatest living pianists. How can her ears, heart and soul remain wide open, while she maintains almost total control of her body? Reminds me of Argerich. Her mind is a steel trap!

I can't imagine how difficult it is to learn this let alone the physical and mental concentration required to play it. The whole piece is like a tightrope with no let-ups. An extraordinary performance. The last few minutes are really funky.

Nice! I love seeing other pianists versions as I did one myself. So many choices to be made of what to include and not. Then there is tempo issues and pedaling etc. Such different results in many places. I also played mine on Fazioli. It's the BEST for a piece like this because it responds to touch so well! Very good colors you have. :)

Much can be said about this music. There were some nice melodies. However, I never cared for atonal composition. Primarily because tonal music gave me all the intellectual tools I needed for myself. Due to the poor quality of the recording one can’t really know if the “noise” coming from the orchestra drowned out the soloist in some sections because that’s what the music intended or just because the recording itself. I’m not impressed with composers attempting to write noise and call it music. If indeed this music is to have any meaning or future at all. One will have to wait and see if it’s played by luminaries such as Yuja Wang and the LA Phil. If it captures the imagination of today’s top performers, then this “Concerto” might have future. Otherwise it will be lost in time with all the rest of other contemporary compositions of today, desperately attempting to say something. Whilst saying nothing at all.

CETTE œuvre est d'une telle modernité, d'une telle fluidité interprétative et d'une telle richesse de composition, qu'à chaque nouvelle écoute, je la redécouvre, et reste sans voix, à nouveau et très ému. Merci tant à Steve REICH, le compositeur, qu'à Vicky Show la pianiste qui interprète avec une aisance surprenante, et ICI souriante très régulièrement. Merci encore. Le miracle de tous ces croisements très fluides des dix doigts de l'interprète est très chorégraphique, d'une liquidité et d'une souplesse phénoménales. Chaque doigt tente d'enrichir, avec une telle rapidité spatiale, avec un dialogue permanent, tant entre les dix, qu'à l' intérieure de l'interprète. Elle ne cesse de sourire, souvent même en lisant la composition sur la tablette. Comme si anticipait ce qui allait suivre. Est ce au total UNE méditation d'amour? ... attentive aux auditeurs dans la salle ... et à la fin tout le monde crie de joie, applaudit très bruyamment La musique de SR est encore ici sans égo, éclatante pour un solo dense, sur scène. Que serait ce cette dernière avec un.e danseur.se qui accompagnerait cette épouvante interprétation ? Personnellement, en l'écoutant à la deuxième fois, je me l'imaginais maladroitement. Merci SR votre musique est ici océanique, très pure, avec des millions d'aquatiques de toute sorte qui s'inter choregraphient sur les trois dimensions sans chef, ainsi qu'à la quatrième dimension. Celui du temps, sachant que dans l'espace, cinquième dimension, il n'y a pas de vitesse. Car la modernité de cette oeuvre, comme de l'interprétation, est atemporelle. Existe t'il une autre interprétation aussi ou plus puissante? En attendant, je réécoute celle ci en la redécouvrant à chaque fois, différemment. Merci pour ces moments de créativité.s. ET, svp malgré l'âge, donnez nous de nouvelles œuvres.

Some people tend to underestimate the difficulty of some of Steve’s music. I can assure you, especially with this arrangement, this is really, really, REALLY ridiculously hard to do. Playing the same pattern with different notes simultaneously while also having the hands offset is incredibly difficult. Not to mention the sheer amount of repetitions of the patterns there are. I can’t play piano, but I am a percussionist, and I’m very familiar with how frustrating things like this can be. Never underestimate the difficulty of something like this. I’m sure Steve is very proud.
@AndyCutright2 жыл бұрын
I think most anyone that listens to his music grasps its difficulty. I find it hard to imagine he has a lot of casual listeners if you know what I mean. I will listen to Reich for literally hours, and I think most of his audience will too.

This comment section is pretty ignorant. It is indeed difficult in the beginning but once muscle memory kicks in it really is not as difficult as you would think. A lot of musicians with a reasonable percussionist background could learn this tune eventually.
