In the third movement of John Adams’ After the Fall, jazz influences blend with classical forms, creating an innovative soundscape reminiscent of a skilled DJ mixing tracks.
Adams’ moment sitting next to Duke Ellington emphasizes an intuitive understanding of music, showcasing the vibrant energy that can transform a performance into a learning experience.
While the first half of the concert featured meaningful works such as Ives’ The Unanswered Question, the second half’s Carmina Burana felt overly simplistic and boisterous, lacking depth.
Adams' After the Fall demonstrates a creativity that encourages listeners to rethink traditional boundaries in classical music, presenting a compelling fusion of genres that captivates.
