Steve Reich at 60
Natalie Wheen investigates the composing career of Steve Reich , a leading figure of the American avantgarde. Now 60, he has come a long way from the early experiments with tape loops to complex music theatre pieces with video: a journey via African drumming, the gamelan and Hebrew cantillation. The programme includes contributions from members of his ensemble, composers David Lang and Lukas Foss , critics John Rockwell and Kyle Gann , and Reich himself. Producer Jessica Isaacs
