Being a big John Adams fan, like a lot of people on tMP, What's your fav John Adams piece.
I think for me, at the moment I would say Lollapalooza.
Although The Chairman Dances, Short Ride in a Fast Machine and bits of Shaker Loops all come a close second!
And On the Transmigration of Souls was gobsmakingly fantastic, although probably not to everyones taste!
For those of you who know nothing John Adams and his music, shame on you! Go get some, this is one of the most performed composers in America and he is a genius in Orchestral Minamilist!
