Synopsis

Product Description

The two-disc Hallelujah Junction serves as a compelling soundtrack and companion piece to composer John Adam's memoir of the same name. It also functions as an eloquent, stand-alone survey of Adams' more than twenty-year affiliation with Nonesuch Records, opening with Part One of his 1986 label debut, Harmonielehre. Included are excerpts from his ground-breaking and controversial 'docu-operas' Nixon In China and The Death Of Klinghoffer, as well as a piece from his Nonesuch release, The Flowering Tree.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anything Mr. Adams writes is a sheer joy. My partner and I have seen all his operas, attended concerts featuring his music, several he conducted. This sample of some of his greatest works will give a new listener a treat to the ear. For seasoned listers, it is a must for any Adams collection."
