Steve Reich: The Sextets

Celebrating Steve Reich's 90th birthday and the 20th anniversary of Colin Currie Group, this landmark release brings together three of Reich's most iconic works for chamber ensemble. United by the elegant symmetry of sextet forces, these pieces showcase the rhythmic vitality, harmonic clarity, and emotional depth that have defined Reich's music for generations. From the scintillating textures of 'Sextet', the driving power and poignancy of 'Double Sextet', and the hypnotic time-bending sonorities of 'Six Marimbas', the album offers a journey through Reich's unparalleled sound world. Colin Currie Group's fresh interpretation of 'Dance Patterns' adds a lesser-known gem to this celebration, highlighting the composer's enduring fascination with movement and pattern. Recorded with the insight and precision that have become hallmarks of the ensemble, this album is both a tribute and a testament to Reich's lifelong influence and to the Colin Currie Group's deep connection with his music. These works do more than mesmerise - they uplift, entrance, and remind us why Reich remains one of the most significant voices in contemporary music.
