Steve Reich - Phase to Face (2011) Review"Steve Reich - Phase to Face" begins with the composer receiving a phone call, with the news that he had won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in music for his piece 'Double Sextet'. This call comes shortly before the beginning of the interview that makes up most of the documentary. We see Reich, in his trademark ballcap, talk about his decision in college to switch his focus of studies from philosophy to composition, ultimately winding up at Juilliard (one of his classmates there is Philip Glass).
Reich is a vibrant and eloquent speaker, and the images that accompany the bits of music are arresting to watch. The directors of this video provide interesting visuals to snippets of some of Reich's most popular works, moving chronologically from his first 'tape/phase' piece "It's Gonna Rain" (1965) through his latest chamber piece "2x5" (2009). At less than one hour, the documentary only scratches the surface of Reich's abilities as a great composer.
Extras include a 'conversation' in Tokyo, where Reich asks the audience to hear some of his recordings, after which he provides insightful comments, and a 'brief history of music', in which Reich (during his interview) explains some of the changes that have taken place in music throughout the centuries. This DVD is a great way to begin to learn about Steve Reich, his influences, and the impact on society of his music.Steve Reich - Phase to Face (2011) Overview
