| |  | Terry Riley - Keyboard Studies 1 & 2 & Tread on the trail
Fabrizio Ottaviucci (piano and digital tape) Riley's pieces are milestones of minimal music and the pianist, Fabrizio
Ottaviucci, is bound by a long-time friendship with the composer, having
played several times with Riley who has supervised (and corrected some
features of) this recording. “There's a jazzy feel to the basic riffs [in Tread on the Trail] while some of the metrical complexities that the layerings produce recall Nancarrow's player-piano pieces, especially as Ottaviucci uses multi-tracking to combine the sounds of several pianos. The result is fascinating, while his rhythmically strict performance of the studies gives them a compulsive intensity.” The Guardian, 29th August 2008 |

| |  | Piano Music of John Adams & Terry Riley
Gloria Cheng-Cochran (piano) “The multifarious pulsings of Adams’s Phrygian Gates (all 26 minutes of it) are more palatable here than on some rival versions, and the relatively brief China Gates (just five minutes) are well worth visiting. Terry Riley’s pieces are more varied in colour and rhythm, less obviously ‘minimalist’, than you might have expected, with the worlds of jazz remaining well within earshot. Gloria Cheng-Cochran seems fully absorbed in the tasks to hand, and the sound is superb.” Gramophone | | | Unfortunately, as of December 3rd 2008 the UK distributor for this label is in administration.

| |  | Riley - Assassin Reverie
Arte Quartett, Terry Riley It is interesting to note that the most significant musical influences on Riley’s style—blues, jazz and Indian classical music—share relevant common features: modal structures and improvisatory practices intended as careful treatment of a set of more or less strict, codified rules. By emphasizing common ground, Riley reconciles different cultures within the same inventive fusing process. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
