Music reviews of Reich: Different Trains, Electric Counterpoint / Kronos Quartet, Pat Metheny
Music Review: Different Trains is the canonical Reich piece
Rating: 5 Stars
It's beautiful, dramatic, minimalist in concept, and complex in soundscape. The Kronos Quartet does a great job with this chamber music material. Trains in the US and trains in the Holocaust. The sounds of passengers and conductors. The trains themselves.
Description of Reich: Different Trains, Electric Counterpoint / Kronos Quartet, Pat Metheny
Different Trains (1988) will probably go down in history as Reich's masterpiece. And deservedly so. Reich's phase-shifting minimalism is made dazzlingly entertaining in Different Trains, which is scored for string quartet and digitally sampled voices that repeat bits of speech concerning trains and Reich's experience with them growing up. The sinister part here is than some trains carried Jews to death camps. That's here as well. The Kronos Quartet has also never sounded better. Electric Counterpoint (1987) has one guitar--Pat Metheny in this case-- playing to 10 pre-recorded motifs, also on guitar. You absolutely need this. --Paul CookGeneral CDs
