This seminal work provided a new concept in musical form based on interlocking repetitive patterns. It's impact was to change the course of 20th Century music and it's influence has been heard in the works of prominent composers such as Steve Reich, Philip Glass and John Adams and in the music of Rock Groups such as The Who, The Soft Machine, Tangerine Dream, Curved Air and many others. Terry's hypnotic, multi-layered, polymetric, brightly orchestrated eastern flavored improvisations and compositions set the stage for the prevailing interest in a New Tonality. Review: A stunning performance of a contemporary classic - 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! Review: I liked this. - I bought this mainly because I am a 'completist' for In C, but did enjoy what I heard. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KJTPY8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #346,001 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #11,728 in Chamber Music (CDs & Vinyl) #14,683 in Opera & Vocal (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (26) | | Date First Available | February 20, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Dacapo | | Manufacturer | Dacapo | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2007 | | Product Dimensions | 5.51 x 4.88 x 0.39 inches; 2.68 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![In C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OnckYT4FL.jpg) ![In C - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51T9cni9ixL.jpg) ![In C - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HdmQLsFoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/55154655-in-c](https://www.desertcart.be/products/55154655-in-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
