Steve Reich : Collected Works (26CD + 1DVD)

Rozsáhlý box 26 CD a DVD obsahuje hudbu, jež byla vydána během čtuřicetiletého působení u labelu Nonesuch. Kolekce představuje nahrávky od It's Gonna Rain }1965] k nejnovějším počinům Traveler's Prayer (2020) a Jacob's Ladder (2023). V bohaté brožuře najdete nové eseje od dlouholetého prezidenta vydavatelství Roberta Hurwitze, skladatele Nico Muhlyho či dirigenta Michaela Tilsona Thomase nebo posluchačskou příručku od klavíristy Tima Andrese.

Americký skladatel, minimalista a inovátor Steve Reich je držitelem mnoha ocenění včetně Grammy. Reichův minimalistický přístup k hudbě ovlivnil řadu hudebníků od prog-rockových King Crimson a Briana Ena až k experimentátorům The Residents.
