Steve Reich: Mallet Quartet (Full recording)

[@aproc_]

What a great performance! I think between the choice of mallets and the quality of the recording/performance space this is my new favorite rendition. Major props especially to the second vibraphonist, they're going like a machine on those canons!

[@submarinevulcania1276]

Mr Reich is probably one on the most important composers of this century.

Thanks to Puparia I'm here.

I just love Reich. I think his music reaches me in a way that (most) humans don't manage through speech.

[@daneekadoc]

You don't want to respond to Reich in a musical way, do you? :D

[@AidanMmusic96]

Beautiful phrasing! I'm learning the second marimba part at the moment and this is a great inspiration!

[@Samgh18]

those accidentals are amazing... this whole thing is amazing

[@emilygclarinet]

Oh, I see that I've already found and commented on this video before. Well, I like it so much that I'm commenting again. :)

[@gtheskater]

The recording quality is just astonishing.

[@DianaRacineFaggiolo]

I saw a concert for percussion years and just love this music.

[@pvpercussion1287]

i saw Third Coast percussion play this recently. Such a great piece of music.

[@sinohui3]

I luv this mans music: sublime!

[@SpencerPoston]

It's all resonance! Beautiful.

[@emilygclarinet]

What lovely music!

[@AurelHollo]

Yes, you can hear the marimba resonance from the background...

[@rixarcade]

very nice

[@tmvps]

WOW!

[@gtheskater]

Because they're pop artists.

[@Leztin]

Impresionante.

[@emilygclarinet]

It sounds more melodic to me than much of his other music. (I don't mean this as an insult to his other music, just as a general comment.)

[@septantesix]

Very nice playing. Is it an organ who do the drone on the background ? Or is it just marimba resonance ?

[@UnDrummerdu74]

True (sad) story...

[@darylcumming4817]

☺☺☺☺☺😊😊😊😊

[@OverchargedTeslaCoil]

Please explain your reasoning.

[@yvesgerard1308]

Lorsque j' écoute Steve Reich ( n' importe laquelle de ses Oeuvres ) je me dis que Philip Glass est un peu le Jean Michel Jarre de la musique minimaliste ! ... sans vouloir être méchant ... écoutez , comparez , voyez la difference ... un peu comme les barils de lessive ...

[@daneekadoc]

Oui, il est définitivement bien plus facile à digérer, que Reich. Néanmoins, son rôle est énorme dans la vulgarisation de la musique minimaliste. On ne commence pas par Reich, seulement si on est socialisé au milieu de la musique électronique (moi j'ai fait ceci en écoutant des milliers de morceaux sur le Commodore 64 durant les années 80...)

[@challenger2801]

Yves Gerard , vous faites du benchmarking d'artistes, la ou il n'y a que de la création d'émotions ! je trouve cela très triste le besoin des latins a toujours vouloir tout intellectualiser ! de plus, je suis totalement pas d'accord avec vous car pour moi , steve reich est beaucoup plus accessible aux niveau émotionnelle que Philip glass !

演奏会で見たな………

[@gtheskater]

It wasn't. But your musical taste surely is.

[@UnDrummerdu74]

I'd like to know the reason why Lady Gaga and Justin bieber make more views than it...

[@daneekadoc]

This is very simple. If you consider your brain a purse, out of which you "finance" listening to music, you have to be r(e)ich in order to be able to "finance" listening to his works. Gaga and the like are cheap targets.

[@Insanestab]

Haha someone must have wanted to prove you wrong.

[@cattleperson]

Sorry, I wanted to feel special :(

[@thealmightycommenter]

I disliked for a reason. It was a load of pretentious horseshit.
