Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Lié à l'école répétitive américaine, celle de ses compatriotes Steve Reich ou Philip Glass, John Adams a procédé à un retour savoureux aux grandes formes occidentales. Cette Symphonie de chambre (1992) frappe par la richesse de son tissu harmonique, fondée sur des matériaux mélodiques et rythmiques très simples, mais renouvelés au gré de développements subtils. En criant un climat à la fois envoûtant et plein de surprises, Adams permet à l'auditeur de renouer avec des vertus oubliées : le plaisir et la délectation. --Michel Marmin

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best performances of any Adams pieces., Feb 8 2001
By Jill Jaques "jilljaques" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
Not only is the piece amazing! (of course) but the performance is incredible! The London Sinfonietta plays with remarkable virtuosity and STYLE! As a musician having listened and seen the score, I know this piece is extremely difficult, and they play with wonderful competence and character. Aside from the fantastic playing, the piece is a real ear opener for fans of Adams. The majority of his music (or, that which is being recorded) are large orchestral works. Large orchestras, lots of soloists, etc. Wonderful stuff, if you haven't heard Harmonium yet, go listen. But the chamber symphony is like all the very best things condensed into a small ensemble and 20 or so minutes. The result is a perfect, high energy, high substance, fantastic piece. I bought it a month ago and it hasn't left my CD player since I put it in. If you're a fan, this piece is kind of like a John Adams primer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Adams, Dec 1 2000
By Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews
If you are a devotee of minimalist music, and, especially, if you are fond of the work of John Adams, this is a CD you will want to have. The mood and excitement which Adams creates in these compositions is even greater than in his shorter works, and, consequently, even more rewarding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing music, Jun 20 1999
By A Customer
I stumbled on Grand Pianola music by pure chance, hearing this unlikely title over the radio. It took me 30 seconds to decide to leave it on. The overall effect of the twin pianists, the vocal trio and the rest of the ensamble is one of spiritual uplifting.
