Steve Reich's Different Trains

Reich’s meditation on the Holocaust was first performed in Queen Elizabeth Hall in November 1988. It is revisited here shortly after the reopening of the refurbished building.

The ensemble has also appeared in Southbank Centre’s Meltdown festival and their popular Deep Minimalism weekend.

Written for string quartet and tape, Different Trains was the piece in which Reich developed his earlier use of recorded speech into a new musical approach. Its melodies emerge from the taped reminiscences of Reich’s governess, an American Pullman porter and three Holocaust survivors.
