Doctor Atomic Symphony [Revised Version] - John Adams

[@steveegallo3384]

My first reacion, at the Opening, was, "Wow! ("Attack...Panic," of course) Somebody got up on the Wrong Side of the Cave." Not for the Squeamish....or when you're running low on Prozac. Yet then toward the end we are forced into deep contemplation of our miserable destiny. BRAVO from Acapulco!

Fantastic composition. Now all I have to do is find a complete recording of the opera. Thanks much!!

[@bobhourigan8491]

@Nancy Hollo Thanks much. Did a search on ebay and found a copy of a DVD and CD. Think I'll go with the DVD.

I hope that at least some of this brilliant music makes it into the Oppenheimer movie.

Could also be the beginning of Zimmermann's "Soldiers"

At the Beginning i can imagine the Fallout of Atomic Explosion..

Badass

[@plekkchand]

No, just bad. In the present cultural vacuum, there are few great composers.

if it didn't have the title Dr. Atomic and were just a symphony- it's pretty long winded and annoying. not spectacular music at all.
