Sinfonia of London and John Wilson - T0514888531

John Adams once dreamt of an oil tanker rising out of San Francisco Bay, soaring into the sky like a rocket. That dream prompted Harmonielehre, a luscious, churning score that fuses Minimalism and Wagnerism. The work concludes a programme of scintillating American classics from John Wilson and his all-star orchestra - including Copland's ballet on the folk hero Billy the Kid, haunting pieces by Barber and Ives, Gershwin's jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue (100 years old this year) and jazz living legend Wynton Marsalis' brassy, swingy Herald, Holler and Hallelujah!.Performer Steven Osborne (piano). Company Sinfonia of London. Conductor John Wilson.
