2015, nr. 65

"Den amerikanske (post)minimalisten John Adams musik glider gärna förbi i ögonvrån slankt och läckert som en välpolerad limousin ... Inspelningen med San Francisco-symfonikerna och St. Lawrence String Quartet ... visst låter det snyggt, men samtidigt onödigt förutsägbart om detta snävt begränsade verk [Absolute jest] ... Behållningen blir fortfarande den läckert expanderade motorvägsminimalismen i Grand Pianola Music med såväl Steve Reich som Beethoven i baksätet".

"Adams war mit Rock und Jazz aufgewachsen ... Der Beat verwandelte sich in der Minimal Music in einen Puls ... Absolute Jest ist ein kolossales Scherzo, das Michael Tilson Thomas ... mit grosser Verve und Fulminantem Schwung realisieren lässt ... Beide Stücke gehören vielleicht nicht zu den Paradestücken von Adams. Die CD ist trotzdem mitreissend und voller Innenspannung!".

"Here is wit, rough passion, gravity and playfulness ... The dialogue between the St Lawrence String Quartet and the San Francisco Orchestra is brilliantly cogent and clear. Absolute Jest is a bravura experiment that will delight Adams's champions and appall his detractors".

"[Grand Pianola Music] is an exuberant, larger-than-life freefall through musical history, the off-the-leash arpeggios typical of Beethoven's late piano sonatas bumping into Liszt then, controversially, ending up glittering like Liberace's candelabra ... Absolute Jest is ... an entertaining diversion and the San Francisco SO respond winningly to Adams's tailor-made if, at times, disappointingly generic orchestration".
