Prepare yourself for a remarkable listening journey. This 2LP set collects three pivotal works by Steve Reich - WTC 9/11, Triple Quartet, and Different Trains - all expertly performed by Mivos Quartet. With tracks such as “9/11/01”, “America - Before the War”, and “After the War”, this edition dives deep into modern classical territory with both intensity and precision.

With its combination of historical significance, high‑caliber performance, and vinyl format appeal, it’s a prime pick for both serious collectors and adventurous listeners alike.
