Review of the Harlequin Audio audiobook released simultaneously with the Hanover Square Press hardcover (March 8, 2022).
Conversations is a series of dialogues between the contemporary classical / experimental American composer Steve Reich (1936 -) and 19 of his most prominent collaborators and interpreters including his wife, video artist Beryl Korot (1945 -).
The audiobook edition does not use recordings of the actual real people but is instead performed by several narrators. There is nothing wrong with that except for the occasional performed laughter which is an attempt to capture the transcriptions from the original recordings as duplicated in the book. The forced chuckles don't always feel authentic. The several narrators otherwise do an excellent job, often mimicking the accents of some of the international performers (I don't think they recruited actual international equivalents of the various English, Scottish, Dutch etc. originals).
The topics of each conversation is centred around the specific Steve Reich works that the performer or collaborator worked on. The scope takes us from the early tape works such as It's Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966), through the works with very minimal elements such as Clapping Music (1972) and Music for Pieces of Wood (1973) up to the more complex breakout pieces such as Music for 18 Musicians (1974-76), Different Trains (1988) and the video operas The Cave (1993) and Three Tales (1998-2002). Recent works such as Reich/Richter (2019) and Traveller's Prayer (2020) are also discussed.
Conversations will probably be most appreciated by readers/listeners who have followed the 55+ year career of Reich from its very minimalist beginnings to the ultra complex ensemble works which require enormous concentration by virtuoso performers to execute. The results in performance can be quite exhilarating though, and a lot of that enthusiasm is communicated in these dialogues.

Trivia and a Link
Biographical information on each of the conversationalists from the hardcover book is available as a pdf file via the publisher and Audible with the purchase of the audiobook.
The number of Steve Reich recordings is extensive and quite a number of live performances and films are available on YouTube. I particularly like the mesmering filmed performance of Dutch dancer / choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker (also one of the conversations in the book) set to the music of Reich's Violin Phase (1967) which you can see on YouTube here.… (meer)
