Steve Reich Double Sextet
Steve Reich You Are (Variations)
Julia Wolfe Cruel Sister
Includes Steve Reich’s Pulitzer Prize winning Double Sextet, commissioned by eighth blackbird. For the first time in the UK this piece is performed entirely live, without tape.
Also featuring You Are (Variations) performed by Britten Sinfonia, plus Cruel Sister by Julia Wolfe and a performance by Max Richter with his own ensemble.
'Beautifully poised throughout, Double Sextet stands as arguably one of Reich’s finest works.' BBC Music
'You Are is prime Reich, using choral and orchestral elements similarly to older pieces like Tehillim and The Desert Music, but seeming as rhythmically driven as anything he's done in years.' Pitchfork 8/10
