Customer Reviews

Great CD - Reich Rocks!
Is a great ensamble, perfect pulse and excellent performer's for Reich music.

Great tribute to Reich
Reich at the Roxy contains three wonderful pieces by Steve Reich wonderfully performed by Alarm Will Sound. Also included is a nice interview with Mr Reich. It is very listener-friendly to have the live concert on both CD and DVD in one package.
This release contains also the world premiere recording of Three Genesis Settings (1993), from Reich's video-opera The Cave. The singers on this recording are especially great!

what fun!!!
I was fortunate enough to be at the recording of this performance, and this cd/dvd captures the energy of this show very well! the fact this was recorded at a night club in new york, and all of the performers dressed casually set the stage for a comfortable, intimate experience. the ensemble is placed in the middle of the audience, and the camerawork moves around the group as they are playing, providing varied viewpoints, and some great closeups of the performers. the dts surround recording is also fun - normally I don't really like having instruments in the speakers behind me, but given the way this was recorded and performed, it is a very comfortable extension of the performance. order this one - you'll really enjoy it!
