***** Coup de cœur

Romaric Gergorin – Classica magazine (France) – March 2023

“…This outstanding portrait of Adams’ orchestral oeuvre is a fine way to celebrate the composer’s 75th birthday.”

Andrew Timar – thewholenote.com – 18 November 2022

“… Adam’s fans still shouldn’t miss this – these are slick, sumptuous readings with scrumptious detail. Alpha’s sound is fantastic.”

Nathan Faro – American Record Guide – January/February 2023

“… a release that shows composer, conductor, orchestra and record company in the best possible light.”

Colin Anderson – ColinsColumn.com – 30 December 2022

Editor’s Choice – January 2023

“John Adams’ recent spell as artist in residence with Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra and Paavo Järvi has resulted in a compact, concentrated disc that suggests there was a mutual meeting of musical minds during his tenure in the Swiss municipality…” ****

Michael Quinn – Limelight magazine.com.au – 11 December 2022

“This recording presents one of the most lucid and well-programmed portraits of John Adams to emerge, well, in a long while.”
