John Adams is one of the most admired & performed living composers. A musician of enormous range & technical command, he has built a huge audience worldwide through the immediacy & sincerity of his music.
Released to accompany his autobigraphy "Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life", the double-CD set "Hallelujah Junction: A Nonesuch Retrospective" serves as a best-of collection that chronicles the composer's career and points up the breadth and depth of Adams' contribution to American musical life in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries.
