John Adams at 80, with Víkingur Ólafsson

John Adams conducts an all-Adams program for his 80th birthday — including Harmonielehre, the piece that put him on the map, and a New York premiere piano concerto written for Víkingur Ólafsson, the most talked-about pianist of his generation. Adams is one of the few living composers who can fill a concert hall on name alone. This is why.
