NEW ON CD AND BLU-RAY: THE JOHN ADAMS EDITION

A cosmos full of energy and colour: Works by John Adams, Composer in Residence with the Berliner Philharmoniker in the 2016/2017 season.

John Adams is one of the USA’s most important musical voices. In his works, Minimalism is combined with imaginative orchestration and a jazz-inflected spirit to create a cosmos full of energy and colour. During the 2016/2017 season, John Adams accompanied the Berliner Philharmoniker as their Composer in Residence. The orchestra gave acclaimed concert performances of both well-known works and exciting new discoveries – and these are now available in an exclusive edition on CD and Blu-ray.

John Adams’s role in the course of his residency with the Philharmoniker was not only as a composer, but also as a conductor. Simon Rattle – a friend and associate of John Adams of many years – is of course also included in the edition, conducting the Passion oratorio "The Gospel According to the Other Mary". Other conductors also appear in this edition: Gustavo Dudamel, Alan Gilbert and Kirill Petrenko.

The many extra features of this lavishly produced hardcover edition also deserve a mention: all recordings are on CD and as videos on Blu-ray, plus there is a comprehensive booklet and a documentary film about John Adams’s time in Berlin. Another highlight is the artwork of the edition, created by the internationally renowned artist Wolfgang Tillmans.
