Steve Reich's Pulse / Quartet is now available on CD and digitally, with the vinyl to come on March 30. Pulse is performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble, and Quartet is played by the Colin Currie Group. The Los Angeles Times notes the "lyricism, gorgeous instrumental textures and affecting harmonies" of Pulse, and the New York Times says of Quartet: "Written for two vibraphones and two pianos, Quartet is Mr. Reich's first piece for those two instruments alone, and the combination is ingenious and seductive, and deployed with subtle craftsmanship."

IndieWire has published its list of The 25 Best Movie Scores of the 21st Century, including five for which Nonesuch released the soundtrack: Philip Glass's score to Stephen Daldry's 2002 film The Hours; Clint Mansell's for Darren Aronofsky's 2006 film The Fountain, performed by Kronos Quartet and Mogwai; and three scores to Paul Thomas Anderson films—Jon Brion's for 2002's Punch-Drunk Love, and Jonny Greenwood's for 2007's There Will Be Blood and the just-released Phantom Thread. IndieWire says "the last 18 years have given us some of the most memorable music ever written for the movies."

Paul Thomas Anderson's new feature film, Phantom Thread, which opened in US theaters in January to rave reviews and six Oscar nominations, opens in theaters in the UK (where it is up for four BAFTAs), Australia, and Europe.

Phantom Thread earns five-star reviews from the Guardian ("such pure delicious pleasure in this film"), Financial Times ("mesmerising ... [Anderson] gets everything right here"), and Daily Express ("an audacious, spellbinding slice of storytelling").
