Verve Steve Reich: The String Quartets - Mivos Quartet - Verve

Experience a landmark trilogy of contemporary classical music with Steve Reich: The String Quartets. This collection brings together three essential works composed between 1988 and 2010: 'Different Trains', 'Triple Quartet', and 'WTC 9/11'. Released by Deutsche Grammophon, this album marks the first time these pieces are presented together on a single recording. The Mivos Quartet performs these works in definitive new recordings. Known by The Chicago Reader as one of America's most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles, the Mivos players developed these interpretations through close collaboration with the composer himself. Their performances draw inspiration from the rhythms of speech, echoes of Bartok, and the profound impact of historical events. This album provides a deep look into Reich's compositional evolution and his ability to transform musical structures through speech and historical reflection. Whether you are a longtime fan of minimalist music or a newcomer to contemporary chamber music, this recording offers a powerful and high-quality listening experience from a world-class ensemble.
