The first release of Radio Rewrite, premiered in London by the London Sinfonietta last year, brings the Steve Reich discography up to date. Though its starting point is a pair of Radiohead songs, Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Everything in Its Right Place, Radio Rewrite uses just a few of their melodic tags and harmonic tendencies, and fixes that raw material in a musical template that is recognisably that of Reich – a continuous five-section, fast-slow-fast-slow-fast scheme, in which the first of the songs is used in the faster music and the second the slower. It’s typical late Reich, not exploring new territory perhaps, but as Alarm Will Sound’s performance shows, it does what it does immaculately and satisfyingly. The Radiohead connection continues in Electric Counterpoint, because the performer, in a work originally written in 1987 for Pat Metheny, is Jonny Greenwood [www.fabermusic.com/composers/jonny-greenwood], whosemulti-tracked guitar seems to capture the exuberance of the piece perfectly. But Piano Counterpoint seems less successful; that’s nothing to do with Vicky Chow’s playing, but because this arrangement for solo piano (again with multiple pre-recorded partners) of Reich’s 1973 piece Six Pianos seems to lose so much of the muscular energy of the original.
