LIVE AT THE CONCERTGEBOUW “...The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is letting the spirit out of the bottle today by way of music where control and chaos are battling for dominance. This Motorbike Odyssey by Jan Sandström represents the freedom of a bike rider.
In the symphony based on the opera Dr. Atomic, John Adams deals with the moral dilemmas of the scientist Doctor Robert Oppenheimer: will the war end by means of an all destructive bomb? Besides, we will also hear a young Dutch composer Joey Roukens who admits that everything runs out of Control in his brand new score for the Concertgebouw Orchestra...” [RNW-host Hans Haffmans]
