Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians (1978)

Made of a 56 minute long single piece, "Music for 18 Musicians" is one of my Reich favourites.

When this recording was released in 1978, the impact on the new music scene was immediate and overwhelming. Anyone who saw potential in minimalism and had hoped for a major breakthrough piece found it here. (Taken from AMG)

  1. This record was released, here in Brazil, by this time and it was hearded by several people. It is very strange how the record companies make their decisions.
