A classical approach to Lollapalooza
In our continuing series of modern classical highlights, we want to tell you about a composer who rolls with the other modern minimalists we’ve talked about but is very distinctive. We love John Adams’ music. I suppose if you take us to task, that we’ll readily admit a penchant for minimalism. Our ear has distinctly warm vibrations with Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and John Adams, for example.
The pieces on Century Rolls are engaging, interesting and a delight to listen to. We especially want to point out the track called Lollapalooza. We don’t often hear people yelling “Crank it up!” on classical music, but Lollapalooza rocks! This is classical music that’s meant to be played loud. We admit to totally rocking out to this piece, not to mention the fact that it has a great name. The entire CD is great, and we here at Manufactured Environments highly recommend it. So if you’re looking to expand your horizons, try John Adams, a minimalist master.
