John Adams - Great Composers with Tom Service

Duration: 4 minutes

Get into John Adams! Radio 3's Tom Service introduces the composer who wants it all ‒ the 'pulse' of the American minimalists and the voluptuous harmonic sensuality of Wagner and Mahler's late Romanticism. And in his operas he's putting contemporary history on stage and turning it into myth: Nixon in China, Dr Atomic, and The Death of Klinghoffer. Warning: his music is addictive. Have a good time with John Adams! Show less
