1988's Different Trains has become one of Steve Reich's most discussed works, and for good reason. It stands as the apogee of everything that his minimalist career has tried to achieve, and also incorporates speech melody flawlessly. Inspired by his train journeys across America as a child, compared to those undertaken by European Jews in same period (the early 1940s), Different Trains is one of the most powerful artistic responses to the Holocaust.
