    Like a lot of Reich’s work, the music suggests forward momentum, but with Radio, the movement is in a much more oblong fashion.

    For those yet to experience Reich's unique soundscapes, this is as good a place to start as any. [Dec 2014, p.115]

    An intriguing album that considers fundamental questions about how music is inspired, interpreted and created.

    When Reich's music quietly departs from its source material, the piece achieves lift off, as the form fades and the piece settles into a seething, anxious rhythm of its own.

    It does what it does immaculately and satisfyingly.... But Piano Counterpoint seems less successful; that’s nothing to do with Vicky Chow’s playing, but because this arrangement for solo piano (again with multiple pre-recorded partners) of Reich’s 1973 piece Six Pianos seems to lose so much of the muscular energy of the original.
