Here she has recorded Kuniko Plays Reich II, a bold programme of innovative works which span Reich's artistic career and showcase some of his groundbreaking techniques. Composed in his early thirties, Piano Phase is performed in Kuniko's own mesmerising arrangement for two vibraphones; characteristically Kuniko plays both parts. While Nagoya Marimbas uses some composition tools which Reich popularised in Piano Phase, Four Organs draws it's inspiration from the Middle Ages. Closing this riveting recital, Mallet Quartet sees Reich in a more melodically expansive mood, albeit with his trademark tight rhythmic drive and canonic textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Four Organs \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Piano Phase Version for Vibraphone \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Nagoya Marimbas\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kuniko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40648272052295,"sku":"44223656","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4313803-3142648.jpg?v=1712493336","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/reich-kuniko-kuniko-plays-reich-ii","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
