Repertoire Double Sextet, by Steve Reich; Snowblind, by Joe Duddell; River, by Helen Grime; Runner, by Steve Reich
Description
Minimalist masterpieces from the visionary US maverick composer Steve Reich – in performances directed by his close friend and trusted collaborator, Edinburgh-born Colin Currie.
Mesmerising power, galvanising rhythm, bewitching harmony: Reich’s Runner is a rich and brightly coloured tribute to raw energy, while the mesmerising Double Sextet won Reich the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, new music’s greatest accolade.
To begin, Currie is the soloist in the propulsive and beautifully reflective percussion concerto Snowblind, written for him by Manchester-born Joe Duddell, a collaborator with Elbow and James. And Scottish composer Helen Grime charts an evocative fluvial journey from source to sea.
