En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Grand Pianola Music

Balance issues mar an otherwise compelling programme from John Storgårds and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

A rare misfire showcasing the music of minimalism’s all-stars. 

Before last night I had reserved judgement on John Adams’ Grand Pianola Music (1982), which I knew from CD but hadn’t previously heard live. It was an effect-piece, I thought, so while it had left me a little cold in recorded form, I was open to the possibility that this enormous, ecstatic major-key pile-up would blow me away in the concert hall.
