Different Trains / Triple Quartet / The Four Sections
Album by Steve Reich & Orchestre national de Lyon & David Robertson
This album is a three-work collection by American composer Steve Reich, released in 1999. It showcases Reich's mature minimalist language—repetitive motifs, shifting phasing, interlocking rhythmic cells and the use of recorded or overdubbed ensemble textures—applied across chamber and orchestral forces, reflecting a continued engagement with speech-derived rhythms and expanded ensemble writing in his later career.
