Titolo: Grandi compositori viventi (3) - REICH

Passiamo subito oltre oceano altrimenti qualcuno ci accusa di eurocentricità.
 
Grande pure Steve Reich. Anche qui, come in Boulez, la timbrica strumentale è qualcosa che viene costantemente sottovalutata sia da chi ascolta che, in questo caso, da chi esegue (ho in mente pessime esecuzioni live di cui taccio). Tutto Reich è timbro tanto quanto ritmo e stratificazioni varie.
