《约翰亚当斯John Adams：钢琴音乐辑Complete Piano Music》John Adams'vast and varied output has earned him a wide audience，uncommon among contemporary classical composers。The works on this disc span his entire career to date，and illustrate his many different styles of writing for the piano。Phrygian Gates and China Gates-“gate”here referring to a type of electronic switch-could be regarded as his first“minimal”works，but are more tonal and expressive than the music of his contemporaries such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass。As a teenager Adams and played clarinet in his father's marching band，and his Hallelujah Junction reflects his love of jazz and popular music。His most recent piano work，American Berserk，recalls the fractured boogie-woogie style of Conlon Nancarrow，and has been described by the composer as a“short，manic，bipolar scherzo”。
