Terry Riley in c

Performed by the Shanghai Film Orchestra, conducted by Wang Yongji. Truly celestial and a different feeling than American / European performances of this famous piece. This CD also contains David Mingyue Lang's gorgeous Music of a Thousand Springs and his Zen (Ch'an) of Water. Highly recommended.

Cellist and producer Maya Beiser's latest solo album reimagines Terry Riley’s epic In C as a series of ever-evolving cello loops and drones. In her multi-cello solo version, the C string - the cello’s lowest, most resonant string - forms the depth and sonic architecture of the album. Enveloped by live drumming by Shane Shanahan and Matt Kilmer, Maya creates a hypnotic, rapturous soundscape that re-envisions this epic minimalist masterpiece.

"In C" is one of those contemporary works of which each listening differs from the previous one. Not because the interpretation is better or worse, but because the score is moving, according to the wishes of Terry Riley. We know, with "Stimmung", "In C is one of the two great works of the 60s, reacting against the excessive drift of contemporary music, serial type Terry Riley wanted to reappropriate modern and traditional music, in especially those coming from the East.
