Live from the Royal Albert Hall , London. John Adams's moving, commemorative work, written for the first anniversary of the atrocities in New York on 11 September 2001, combines orchestral and choral reflections with recordings of city noises and the names of those who died. The mood is echoed in Copland's nostalgic picture of city life and in music by Haydn and Bartok. Presented by Christopher Cook.
