I love that famed institution of higher education Stanford University deigned to cite a review written by an overenthusiastic 13 year old to advertise its Steve Reich performance series on its official arts website https://arts.stanford.edu/event/music-for-18-musicians-chamber-group-project/



review probably isnt bad tho, might read it again for s's and g's

amazing alb tho clearly a 5 the towering masterpiece in a career full of veritable good shit. can't lie though: grew up on the nonesuch 2004-was-it release and feel like the clarity rings out better there

The transition from IIIa to IIIb is I think my favourite part of the piece, but IIIa is definitely one of the top sections

That's actually hilarious lol, but props man. And props that you were into this at 13.

Also I always forget that you're Alex Robertson - it's engraved into my mind that your real name is Robert Sona, which is much more exotic 😃

I’ve also only heard the nonesuch version but it’s like I’m floating around in time and space and heavenly creatures form around me and disappear and reappear
