classical music: Terry Riley     classical music:     Terry Riley      Shri Camel Terry Riley Sony, 1990 Beautiful Balance As suggested this work has a very spiritual feel to it. If I am correct Mr. Riley plays two Yamaha organs (specially modified by Yamaha for him) using digital delays. The music is sort of an extension of Rainbow on Curved Air except far more complex and ...             Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians Composer: Steve Reich, Performer: Steve Reich Ensemble Ecm Records, 2000 Riveting Music for 18 Musicians is a minimalist masterpiece. Minimalism is not a readily accepted or appreciated genre of modern classical music, so I suggest you listen to the piece before you buy it. Even if you don't like it upon the first listen, I would encourage you to ...             Rainbow in Curved Air Terry Riley Sony, 1990 Meditative, with a subtle rhythmic element I found my first exposure to the music of American minimalist composer Terry Riley (and minimalism as a genre), to be extremely rewarding. As a fan of 1970s progressive rock and electronica, I am a little surprised that I did not explore the genre sooner, given that ...             Reed Streams Terry Riley Elision Fields, 2007 This CD represents the first album by Terry Riley, originally released in 1966, as well as the first recordings Riley made using his two personal Revox reel-to-reel tape machines (or "Time Lag Accumulators") later heard on his groundbreaking release Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band All Night Flight. Reed Streams has been remastered from the ...             Terry Riley: Keyboard Studies 1 & 2; Tread on the Trail Terry Riley, Fabrizio Ottaviucci Stradivarius, 2008 Minimalism milestones in a brand new performance by one of Riley's favorite musicians.             Kronos Caravan Kronos Quartet Nonesuch, 2000 Stunning I've never been a fan of classical music. Being forced to listen to Mozart and such growing up in school, ugh, school has made me gain a deep hatred of famous classical composers and the like. Never thought I would ever get into classical music because it was all ...             Riley: In C Terry Riley, Paul Hillier, ... Da Capo [Naxos], 2007 A stunning performance of a contemporary classic OK, I admit I'm a little obsessed with this piece. This is the 6th version of it I own. Frankly, Riley's 1964 minimalist masterpiece varies so much from one version to another that it easily embraces diverse interpretations, from the early version called Mantra, to ...             25 Years: Retrospective Suzanne Elder, Paul Hillier, ... Nonesuch, 1998 How Could You Not Listen? My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of ...             Terry Riley: The Last Camel in Paris Terry Riley Elision Fields, 2008 Minimalist Masterwork Realized Live The somewhat awkward title "Last Camel in Paris" refers to the Terry Riley masterwork "Shri Camel" here played live (or an interpretation of it, among the minimalists Terry Riley always relied on improvisation and had some grounding in jazz) in 1978. As usual, Terry ...             Terry Riley: The Cusp of Magic Kronos Quartet, Wu Man Nonesuch, 2008 Bliss from Terry Riley, Kronos and Wu Man Almost all comparisons, said the man, are odious. Comparing this piece to Requiem for Adam or Salome Dances or Cadenza on the night plain[to name a few Riley/Kronos partnerships] is purely academic. This piece stands on its own, and is simply beautiful. The pipa master ...             Minimal Piano Collection [Box Set] Philip Glass, John Cage, ... Brilliant Classics, 2007 Do I need to repeat ? 10 hours and 15 minutes of minimalist piano! The closest I'd gotten to that was with LaMonte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano 81 X 25, 6:17:50 - 11:18:59 PM NYC on Gramavision, and that was "only" five hours - and I never managed to get to the end of it anyway. At least, ...             Sonic Rebellion: Alternative Classical Nathan Gunn, Nicholas Isherwood, ... Naxos, 2007 Start the revolution Even people who like classical music tend to run screaming when they hear names like Penderecki, Ligeti and Cage. But it's hard to blame them. The majority of concert halls and classical music stations play it safe, programming little but such familiar composers as ...             Terry Riley: In C Darlene Reynard, Jerry Kirkbride, ... Sony, 1990 Very important minimalist work The compositional approach of Terry Riley and his pioneering minimalist work In C had a measurable impact on late 1960s and early 1970s musicians that wished to fuse more experimental styles with rock music. In fact, the Swedish group International Harvester is a ...             Terry Riley: Requiem for Adam / The Philosopher's Hand Terry Riley, Kronos Quartet Nonesuch, 2001 A uniquely moving memorial Terry Riley has my vote for the title of great American composer. Few composers working today have Riley's ability to range from unbridled fun to profound emotional depth. His long collaboration with the Kronos Quartet brings us this latest work, certainly one of ...             Descending Moonshine Dervishes / Songs for the Ten Voices of the Two Prophets Terry Riley Kuckuck Schallplatten, 1992 PRE AMBIENT TECHNO It's funny and sad that a lot of times the pioneers are less well known than the imitators. Terry along with LeMonte Young started the 'trance' music movement and they are still more interesting than the rest.
