Works: 1965-1995 cover art

An exhaustive, 10-disc retrospective documenting the profoundly influential career of the American minimalist composer. The collection traces his development from early, phasing tape-loop experiments into massive, rhythmically complex orchestral masterpieces like 'Music for 18 Musicians'. It serves as a monumental, deeply rewarding exploration of one of the 20th century's most significant compositional minds.
