Meditative and ecstatic, Loops is a new classic

  • We Say...

    This album is an excellent introduction to some of the Pulitzer Prize-winning John Adams' most influential works. Adams' music is vibrantly performed by tenor Nathan Gunn (in the elegiac "Wound Dresser"), the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and noted conductor Marin Alsop, a New York City native who has an instinctive grasp of both the exhilarating, juggernaut motion of "Short Ride" and the meditative ecstasy of the four-movement "Shaker Loops," a minimalistic work inspired by the Shaker religious tradition.
