L.A. Phil work hits iTunes

Tuesday, the Los Angeles Philharmonic will officially offer two of its Minimalist Jukebox festival concerts, given last weekend, as downloads on Apple Computer Inc.’s iTunes Music Store. But as of Wednesday morning, one concert, devoted to the music of Steve Reich, was already online. You just had to look for it.

The recording won’t be featured on the iTunes home page until Tuesday, but a power search for the album “Minimalist Jukebox” will pull it up. The program, conducted by Stefan Asbury, includes performances of Reich’s Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards, “Three Movements for Orchestra” and “Tehillim.” The cost to download it is $9.99 for the entire concert or 99 cents apiece for selected movements.
