5.0 out of 5 stars essential john adams, 3 Sep 2006
This is my favourite John Adams c.d (actually it's in my top ten classical c.d's). The stand out tracks are the 'chairman dances' which is fast tempo and modern - evoking the 'Nixon in China' opera in one piece of music. The other stand out track is the mellow, 'Christian Zeal and Activity' which has a fundamentalist preacher repeating line from the Gospel about the man with the withered arm picking up his mat and being healed. It just has this peaceful feeling waving over one's body, like seeing Mark Rothko's installation at the Tate Modern. If you like John Adams your like this c.d.
