Steve Reich and Musicians 'Drumming' is a classic of hope and achievement. Coming after a few years – the late sixties – when so many old barriers had fallen, it rejoices in a world where modern and ancient, western and non-western are no longer separate categories “My visit to Africa in 1970 confirmed my intuition that acoustic instruments and voices could be used to produce music that was genuinely richer in sound than that produced by electronic instruments, as well as confirming my natural inclination towards percussion.” STEVE REICH “What we hear is a busy, continuous texture which displays a kind of musical moire effect, as tiny alterations in the parts keep inviting the ear to discern new patterns, almost subliminally. It may, in short, be the kind of thing that drives you crazy.” Gramophone Magazine, 1975 | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Elizabeth Bergmann, Marcel Bergmann, Tamara Rumiantsev, Sandra & Jeroen van Veen 11 CD, CD-ROM Fanfare Music: “Dutch pianist and composer, Jeroen van Veen, the leading exponent of minimalism in Holland today”, Alan Swanson, Jan 2010. The Minimal Piano Collection for one piano (BC8551) ended with “In C” by Terry Riley. Many of the composers on this new 11 Cd box have stated that this particular piece was a starting point for them to compose in a new way, exploring the ways that were created, the spaces between the notes, the emptiness, the freedom. Elizabeth Bergmann & Marcel Bergmann, Tamara Rumiantsev and Sandra van Veen & Jeroen van Veen recorded 83 compositions. From two pianos up to six pianos, from Steve Reich ‘standard’ Pianophase to Six Pianos. The composers on this new box are John Adams, Jurriaan Andriessen, Louis Andriessen, Marcel Bergmann, William Duckworth, Julius Eastman, Douwe Eisenga, Morton Feldman, Graham Fitkin, Joep Franssens, Kyle Gann, Philip Glass, Gabriel Jackson, Tom Johnson, Simeon ten Holt, David Lang, Colin McPhee, Chiel Meijering, Wim Mertens, John Metcalf, Carlos Michans, Meredith Monk, Arvo Pärt, Michael Parsons, Alexander Rabinovitch, Steve Reich, Frederic Rzewski, Tim Seddon, Jeroen van Veen, Jacob ter Veldhuis and Kevin Volans. On the included Cd-ROM you can find all the biographies, background information and some sheet music. Van Veen recorded many pieces on his own using multi track technique. This set will not only please the customers who bought the white box, but also anyone looking for interesting music from American, British, Canadian, Dutch and many more composers who wrote beautiful tonal repetitive music for two or more pianos. Many customers use the Minimal Collection to get inspired, or to work with or simply to enjoy. Get carried away by the new black box; 854 minutes of wonderful music, enjoy the Minimal Piano Collection, let the journey begin including a few recording premieres! “Superbly performed and very well engineered, these are recordings which can stand alongside any in similar repertoire. As an introduction and deepening of one’s experiences with the world of ‘repetitive’ music this is likely to be an eye or ear-opener for many, including die-hard fans like myself...If your experiences of minimalism until now have been negative, this is a perfect place to commence rehabilitation.” MusicWeb International, January 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
