Steve Reich - The ECM Recordings 3xLP

Label: ECM

Release Date: October 2nd, 2026

Steve Reich has been described by The Guardian as one of “a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history" and as “the greatest musical thinker of our time” by The New Yorker. 

The ECM Recordings brings together the landmark albums Music For 18 Musicians, Music For A Large Ensemble/Violin Phase and Tehillim in a limited edition set. Originally released in 1978, 1980 and 1982, each of these recordings had a decisive influence which continues to reverberate across musical idioms.

The 3 Steve Reich albums that were released on the ECM label between 1978-1982, are presented as facsimile editions housed in a high-quality cardboard box with a booklet containing photos from the archives, manuscript pages and liner notes by Paul Griffiths. Sourced from the original analog master tapes, these vinyl editions authentically re-introduce the listener to recordings that have since become staples in contemporary music.
