This 27-disc Steve Reich box set is not the work of a minimalist
One thing I learned spending an entire week listening to a big box of Steve Reich's music is that there's no box big enough for Steve Reich's music.
I had originally intended to listen to 'Collected Works,' a comprehensive collection of the pioneering composer's music, from beginning to end. The 27-disc set, freshly out on Nonesuch Records, collects all of Reich's recorded works across a 60-year stretch, anchored by his four-decade relationship with the label.
