For You John Adams Fans

[David Coscina 3]

Both operas are very cinematic to my ears and Flowering Tree is especially beautiful. For those of you who have been wondering where Adams went all the years (Nonsuch had not released anything by him since 2005) you can check out A FLowering Tree on CD and Doctor Atomic on DVD. Hopefully a recording will follow soon

Old news to us John Adams fans. I'm off to see DOCTOR ATOMIC next Saturday in my local cinema at 6pm. It's screening a LIVE production from the New York Met. Can't wait.

Have fun! Based on the music I have heard from this, it's awesome. I wonder why it did not meet with more success?

It's being released by the English Opera next year in London.

Yeah, old news, I've been enjoying those for so long now.

Doctor Atomic has been one of the most successful operas in recent years. No plans for a recording anytime soon (the Symphony has been recorded by St. Louis SO though, along with Guide to Strange Places, to be released by next year).

By the way, my libretto of "A Flowering Tree" is faulty, it has Act 1 repeated over again right where Act 2 should be. I have e-mailed Nonesuch but no response so far.

P.S. The John Adams self-biography just came out too, titled "Hallelujah Junction". I can't wait to get my hands on it.
