John Adams / Steve Reich / Solisti New York / Ransom Wilson - Grand Pianola / Eight Lines album flac

Steve Reich's Vermont Counterpoint for piccolo, flutes, and tape (1982) and Eight Lines (1983, arranged from the 1979 Octet) are more successful works and easier to like for their textural consistency and richer elaborations of simple patterns; yet, though they resemble Reich's Music for 18 Musicians in many ways, neither rises to the beauty of that minimalist classic. Ransom Wilson's performances with the Solisti New York are enjoyable for their vigor and energy, but the mid-'80s digital sound quality is a little harsh and cold.

Steve Reich’s Vermont Counterpoint, dedicated to Betty Freeman, is scored for three alto flutes, three flutes, and three piccolos, plus two solo lines in each of which the soloist plays, one at a time, all three instruments. For this recording, Ransom Wilson taped all nine ensemble parts plus one solo line, and then added the "live" solo line as the final touch.
