One of minimalism's pioneers, Reich (b. 1936) has developed
a highly personal language of composition. Early in his career Reich wrote
extended pieces that hinged on small musical gestures, sometimes just a
single chord, developed through repetition and slight variation. Since the
1960s, Reich has explored his Jewish identity from historical and spiritual
angles, writing dozens of important works. Here
are his essential recordings.
