Today's Tunes

John Adams' Harmonium. (The link is to an exerpt of it.) Nevermind the conducting...when you become as prestigious as Simon Rattle your gesture can be whatever, I suppose. Rattle is conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and since 2002 has been principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic.
