Rattle & Berlin Play Adams & Gershwin

[Senta]

Don't happen by here much anymore, but these two were so good they merited a post.

Sir Simon and his orchestra rang in the New Year in Berlin with some smashing Gershwin and Adams...

I love seeing the Berlin Phil playing this fun music, they sound just great! The swaying percussionists make me happy.

And here's their whipbang performance of one of my favorite little Adams pieces.
