Discoveries At Walt Disney Concert Hall: John Adams
From: NPR Music
Series: Discoveries At Walt Disney Concert Hall
Length: 59:00
Minimalist master composer John Adams celebrates his 60th birthday by conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group in two of his own compositions, Gnarly Buttons and Grand Pianola Music. A musician of enormous range and technical command, Adams has produced works, both operatic and symphonic, that stand out among contemporary classical music for the depth of their expression, the brilliance of their sound world, and the profoundly humanist nature of their themes.
