Steve Reich’s 1988 piece Different Trains is the subject of this week's episode of BBC Radio 3's The Listening Service. Host Tom Service shares music from Kronos Quartet's 1988 Nonesuch recording of the piece, which won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Composition, and talks with author/journalist Jonathan Freedland about creating such art that addresses the Holocaust. You can hear the episode here.

Steve Reich was on WNYC's New Sounds to talk with host John Schaefer about the newly released first recording of his pieces Runner and Music for Ensemble and Orchestra, performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and conductor Susanna Mälkki, and his new piece, Traveler’s Prayer, which will be given its US premiere performance by Colin Currie Group and Synergy Vocals in an all-Reich program at Carnegie Hall tonight, paired with Tehillim and Music for 18 Musicians. You can hear the episode, which also includes Makaya McCraven's "So Ubuji," from his new album, In These Times, in a showcase of new October releases, here.
