Contemporary classical releases, week 43

This week in contemporary classical music, new works and tributes highlight enduring legacies and innovative intersections. Olivier Dubois channels Steve Reich's rhythmic intensity in a choreographic exploration of struggle, while major ensembles honor Reich's 90th birthday with performances of his minimalist masterpieces. Composers and performers such as Kaija Saariaho, Leigh Pilzer, Tyshawn Sorey, and the posthumous release of William S. Burroughs' cut-up experiments underscore a rich diversity of expression. Additional highlights include archival discoveries and reflections on figures like James Tenney, Éliane Radigue, and Thomas Brinkmann.
