Contemporary American Operas - Bernstein: Trouble in Tahiti / Glass: The Perfect American / Adams: Doctor Atomic

DVD OA 1179 BD

" ... one of the crowning events of the past year's globe-trotting celebration of Mr. Glass's 75th birthday. The subtle, moody score, at war between its propulsive and serene impulses, felt more than equal in quality to the festive occasion. While criticisms of Mr. Glass's music as cookie-cutter have always been misguided, “The Perfect American” finds him in especially unpredictable form, experimenting with sonorities, textures and pacing. • Led by the Glass veteran Dennis Russell Davies with careful attention to both its underlying pulse and its twists of temperament, the opera opens with an ominous, low murmur punctuated by sharp, syncopated percussion snaps. The sound gradually expands through the orchestra and warms into something that, under Mr. Davies, has more gentle swing than the relentless forward motion generally associated with Mr. Glass.
