Summary
Susanna Mälkki leads the London Symphony Orchestra in an all-Reich programme at the Barbican, featuring works ranging from Music for Pieces of Wood to Music for Ensemble and Orchestra.
Why it's fantastic
Susanna Mälkki leads this celebratory survey of the American pioneer who turned repetitive, interlocking rhythms into a high art form. From the sharp clatter of wooden percussion to the lush textures of full orchestral movements, these hypnotic pieces offer a meditative yet energising gateway into the sounds of our own time.
