Alban Gerhardt
Many composers have left Europe to find a new home in the USA, and both in Bartók’s wartime Concerto for Orchestra ⢠composed for the virtuosi of the Boston Symphony Orchestra ⢠and DvorËák’s most popular concerto, composed in New York, you can hear elements of each composer’s old world as well as the new. John Adams’ riotous orchestral showpiece seems more authentically American, though it was a by-product of his celebrated opera Nixon in China, and imagines Madam Mao reliving her music-hall past.
