The disc's centerpiece is "Different Trains," a work that frames Reich's impressions of his boyhood train trips between his mother in Los Angeles and his father in New York; Reich also intersperses references to the much more harrowing train rides Jews were forced to take to Nazi concentration camps. Using the fine playing of the Kronos Quartet as a base, Reich layers the work with the taped train musings of his governess, a retired Pullman porter, and various Holocaust survivors -- vintage train sounds from the '30s and '40s add to the riveting arrangement. And for some nice contrast, Reich recruits guitarist Pat Metheny to create a similarly momentous piece in "Electric Counterpoint" (Metheny plays live over a multi-tracked tape of ten guitars and two electric basses). Two fine works by Reich in his prime. ~ Stephen Cook If You Enjoy "Reich: Different Trains, etc / Pat Metheny, Kronos Quartet (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Reich: Different Trains, etc / Pat Metheny, Kronos Quartet (CD)" by Kronos Quartet (Ensemble) and ...There are no customer reviews yet.
