Performer: John Adams

John Adams dirigiert das Radio Filharmonisch Orkest in einem interessanten Programm, das jedoch nicht immer überzeugen kann.

John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra puts the composer's propulsive music at the service of both moments of riveting human drama and less effective scenes of battle and politics. 

John Adams returns to Toronto to conduct the TSO in an exciting and varied programme marked also by the debut of Spotlight Artist Anna Prohaska. 

With a remarkably extensive season featuring a slew of major guests, and the cream of Japanese classical music talent, the TMSO has an uncanny ability to switch between musical styles on a dime. 

Returning to conduct Rome’s Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia this November, John Adams reflects on the situation of music in the US – and why he has so often been labelled a ‘political’ composer.
