"(...)has ????? as a composer of rare invention and originality"

I´m trying to translate this so that spanish speakers can appreciate this documentary too

Hi robertronics, sorry i only just saw your post.

....has 'marked him out' (made him stand out) as a composer of rare invention and originality....

Hope this helps!

I thought id post this due to the lack of decent Reich material about. This is a South Bank Show featuring interviews with the man himself, analysis of his career and performance and rehearsal footage of his major works (Four Organs, Drumming, 18 Musicians et al).

Enjoy!

Steve Reich is a genius. No question.

what's the type of rollercoaster at 6:46?

[doutorronaldo]

does anyone has a video or recording of this version of Daniel Variations shown in the documentary? It's much slower and far more beautiful than the CD version being sold =/
