| | The John Adams Earbox |
| | Adams composed the Violin Concerto between January 7 and November 1 of 1993 at the request of Jorja Fleezanis, concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra. | | | You've spoken about the modes that you use in the Violin Concerto. | | | The Violin Concerto, despite my reservations about its affects and its superficial conventionality, in some ways is the most rigorously worked-out piece that I have composed in terms of its internal design, its genetic structure and the way in which the larger structures reiterate. |

| | ARTseenSOHO - new release on NONESUCH: John Adams |
| | The Violin Concerto, which was written in 1993 and received the Grawemeyer Award in 1995, is paired on this album the Shaker Loops, Adams' popular string orchestra work in its first available recording conducted by the composer, with a performance by the Orchestra of St. Luke's. | | | John Adams, America's most frequently programmed composer, releases the premiere recording of his acclaimed Violin Concerto, featuring violinist Gidon Kremer and the London Symphony Orchestra led by Kent Nagano. | | | The Violin Concerto, deemed "electrifying music" by the Village Voice, signifies Adams' return to a large-scale sweeping lyricism, presenting Kremer in a virtuosic trek through a landscape of changing atmospheres. |

| | Bach, Prokofiev, Adams Leila Josefowicz (violin); John Novacek (piano), Wigmore Hall, Monday, April 19th, 2004 (CC) |
| | Josefowicz has built up a reputation as an interpreter of the music of John Adams from her performances of his 1993 Violin Concerto. | | | This was particularly true of the pianist, John Novacek, who appeared to misread the hall’s acoustics and threaten to over-power his partner in the first movement. | | | The expected minimalism is there, with a nervy violin part over a carpet of piano repeated patterns – it is an undemanding movement. |

| | As John Adams points out when introducing this work, most composers from Beethoven onward wrote only one Violin Concerto -- and in most cases the piece is one of the composer's most celebrated works. | | | The solo violin is so much an instrument of Romanticism that post-Romantic composers often fight back by exploring the most tense, jarring, unpleasant sounds it can make. | | | John Adams joins this company with a concerto that can stand up to the greatest in 20th century classical music. |

| | Grawemeyer Award- Music Composition 95 Winner |
| | John Adams "Violin Concerto" was commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra, the New York City Ballet and the London Symphony Orchestra. | | | Adams' orchestral works include "Harmonium" in 1981, "Grand Pianola Music" in 1982 and "Harmonielehere" in 1985. | | | Composed in three movements, the 33-minute work is a free-flowing showpiece for violin that changes speeds, tones and melodies before culminating in a dazzling finale that features "inventive and daring fiddle pyrotechnics," according to reviewer Michael Steinberg. |

| | Classical Net Review - Adams - Violin Concerto, Shaker Loops |
| | For the listener, the key to the movement is to commit to memory the opening measures of the orchestra and of the violin. | | | The violin sings, and ravishingly, but I doubt anyone would call the song a beautiful tune. | | | Glass has begun a rapprochement with Germanic traditions, beginning at least with the cadenza, composed for Firkusný, to a Mozart piano concerto and continuing with a Sibelian violin concerto (more later). |

| | John Adams: Piano Concerto |
| | The company's latest Adams release contains three pieces -- two are from the boxed set -- and so obviously the world premiere recording of the composer's first piano concerto, Century Rolls (1996), with the Cleveland Orchestra under Christoph von Dohnányi, and Emanuel Ax, as soloist, is the big news here. | | | Century Rolls (Piano Concerto No. 1); Lollapalooza; Slonimsky's Earbox. | | | Easily the most successful and closely followed of all baby boomer composers, Adams has, like the Minimalist he most reveres, Steve Reich, produced a small, but steadily impressive series of works which Nonesuch celebrated last year with a 10-CD set. |

| | Adams must have been thinking of it when he told the audience that the piece is naïve but also has plenty of “heavy metal” in the percussion. | | | Adams encouraged the audience to regard the work as a symphony, despite its “whimsical” title. | | | The concert represents a lost opportunity: the Beethoven was somewhat diminished by its presence on the program, and there must be plenty of 20th century pieces — violin concertos by Berg and Adams himself among them — that could have had an interesting dialog with Naïve and Sentimental Music. |

| | Robert McDuffie - Violin Concertos of John Adams & Philip Glass |
| | Philip Glass "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" (1987) | | | It is tailored to my musical needs." The Concerto's form evolved as Glass worked with its musical ideas ("the material finds it own voice," he explained), and finally settled into a conventional three-movement fast-slow-fast arrangement with a reflective coda added at the end. | | | Though the work is scored for standard orchestra without the electronics that give a characteristic sonority to so many of Glass' compositions, he said that "the piece explores what an orchestra can do for me. In it, I'm more interested in my own sound than in the capability of particular orchestral instruments. |

| | This from a listener who enjoys John "nihilism" Cage, who thinks organized sound is inherently musical and who bought the new Boards of Canada CD in a harried trip to the Castro before the show. | | | Oh, and it occurs to me, I heard the Adams Violin Concerto at the mission in San Juan Bautista, California (think Vertigo), as part of the Cabrillo Music Festival, and it was hot there as well, both in performance and temperature. | | | Unlike say, the great John Adams' 50th birthday concert some years back that focused on the composer and his music, this had a much different feel. |

| | His distinctive sound is a mixture of post-minimalism minimalism, schools of contemporary art and music, with their origins in the 1960s, that have emphasized simplicity and objectivity. | | | Strong and vivid, his music can exhibit both a wittily life-affirming sense of fun and a decidedly contemporary aura of grief and horror. | | | Adams is best known for operas on topical themes, including Nixon in China (1987), The Death of Klinghoffer (1991), and I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky (1995). |
