Minimalist choral grandeur: Adams’ Harmonium stirs the soul with shimmering orchestration and poetic power.
John Adams’ ‘Harmonium,’ as recorded by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under Edo de Waart, is a landmark of late 20th-century classical music. Adams—celebrated for his deft fusion of minimalism and expressive lyricism—crafted ‘Harmonium’ as a choral-orchestral work of rare scope and emotional resonance. Drawing on the poetry of John Donne and Emily Dickinson, each movement unfurls with luminous textures: the orchestra pulses with hypnotic energy, while the chorus weaves lines of text into waves of sound. De Waart’s interpretation is crisp yet expansive, allowing the music’s layered harmonies to shimmer without losing their underlying drive. ‘Harmonium’ marked a pivotal point in Adams’ career, signaling his emergence as a major voice in American music. For collectors, this recording captures the excitement of its premiere era and the unique synergy between composer, performers, and poetic inspiration. It’s a must-have for anyone captivated by the evolution of Western Classical music, and by works that balance intellectual rigor with visceral impact. Whether you’re seeking a deep listen or an awe-inspiring sonic experience, this album commands attention and rewards repeated exploration.
