### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A stunning performance of a contemporary classic
  

*by J***L on July 27, 2007*









  
  
    OK, I admit I'm a little obsessed with this piece.  This is the 6th version of it I own.  Frankly, Riley's 1964 minimalist masterpiece varies so much from one version to another that it easily embraces diverse interpretations, from the early version called Mantra, to the excellent version by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, or my favorite by the Belgian new music group Ictus.  (I've never been a fan of the Columbia original.)  This latest manifestation by the Danish a capella group Ars Nova Copenhagen, with the Percurama Percussion Ensemble, under the direction of Paul Hillier, really makes the work feel like a 20th century masterpiece.  Hillier and musicians approach this work with the devotion they might bring to a great sacred work, using a text that Riley derived from holy names, and the result is, well, nearly a religious experience.  In C "works" in direct proportion to the commitment brought to it by the performers.  This recording works brilliantly.  You will want to own this!

    I liked this.
  

*by D***N on January 27, 2018*









  
  
    I bought this mainly because I am a 'completist' for In C, but did enjoy what I heard.
  


### ⭐ 







  
  
    NOT as good as the original version
  

*by N***D on April 27, 2009*









  
  
    Although some reviewers seemed to like this version, I did not find inspiring at all. Some compared it to Steve Reich's work. Maybe. But it resembles more his peculiar 'Tehillim' with voices than his excellent 'Music for 18 Musicians'. This weak attempt at 'In C' does not match Riley's spirit, verve and virtuosity. The original version (by Terry Riley) of 'In C' is really still the best in my humble opinion.
