The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra performs two works by composer, conductor and creative thinker, John Adams - Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Harmonielehre, as well as his arrangement of Debussy’s Le Livre de Baudelaire, featuring soprano Christiane Karg.
Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, soloist Pekka Kuusisto, and composer/developer Jesper Nordin’s cutting-edge electronics come together in Nordin’s radical reinvention of the violin concerto, Convergence. In Naïve and Sentimental Music, dedicated to Salonen, John Adams celebrates a similar creative impulse: spontaneity, the spirit of free play.. (Part of the WFMT World Orchestra Series)
