What kind of world do we want to live in? A month before the U.S. elections, John Adams conducts two modern classics that ask that question poignantly. Flaming with energy, in loud tone and with a fearless embrace of tonality, De Staat and Harmonielehre triggered an earthquake half a century ago. Unabatedly topical, they now make us feel what is at stake in these times.
