Composer of the Week

John Adams (b.1947)

Part Two

Donald Macleod talks to John Adams about his work during the 1980s. It was a time of gathering momentum for Adams, despite being a dissenting voice against the prevailing political wind. His music evolved beyond the orthodoxies of minimalism that had influenced his earlier works, and he consolidated his position as one of America's most enterprising young composers.
