Violin Concerto (1993). John Adams /leila josefowicz/

Andrew Sullivan blogs about a visit to LA including a concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall:

...and then took in a gorgeous John Adams piece and some over-the-top Shostakovich in Frank Gehry's Philharmonic crumple...I guess it goes to show that stereotypes have a limited usefulness. Classical music, peerless architecture, old friends and walk, walk, walk. All in L.A. And it rained too. Heavenly.

Leila Josefowicz performed the Adams Violin Concerto. I don't have her Koch  recording. I probably have fifty John Adams CDs and I just realized I've blogged tonight about two I don't have. And I call myself a completist...
