Thanks for the Richter recommendation! Another good minimalist album is In C by Terry Riley[1].

My favorites by Glass are Glassworks[2] and Einstein on the Beach[3].

While we're recommending things, allow me to share one of my favorite contemporary minimalist composers, Lubomyr Melnyk: http://youtu.be/FuiUhnDf-qA

And, more impressionist, but Harold Budd is great: http://youtu.be/w61vMYCd-sY

not sure richter is minimalist (postminimalist? - more romantic?), but the blue notebooks is my favourite work of his (i think the vivaldi is different from the rest). people similar to richter (moving further away from minimalism) include sylvain chauveau, library tapes, ensemble nocturne.
