| 4.5 superb | Bedex | December 29th 24 |
Some of Reich's best work in years. It is made of two pieces, but they flow relatively well into one another, and the total runtime remains sub 40 minutes. I'd say "Runner" has the slight edge, but both have a similar style of a pulsatile, repetitive and very Reich-esque foundation onto which are laid lots of strings and other instruments which remind a lot of film scores. Runner is a bit more intriguing especially at the start, and evokes some of the Ghibli films a lot (perhaps most on IV), incidentally a lot like 1980's Music for Large Ensemble, whilst Music for Ensemble and Orchestra evokes more period drama OST with its dramatic use of strings. While this is not the most Reich-typical record, it certainly retains a lot of its identity, and is visually compelling. 4.3
