Different memorials: Steve Reich's complete string quartets reflect on September 11 and the Holocaust

Amanda Keil, 15th September

A successful performance of Steve Reich’s music requires performers with stamina, a groove, and an audience willing to come along for the ride. The music itself is at its best when Reich layers gesture on top of gesture, creating a complex rhythmic tapestry that can put listeners into a trance and trigger unexpected emotions.
