Science-inpired music - 2 John Adams,Dr.Atomic Symphony.
Few contemporary works deal with so crucial a crisis of conscience as John Adams' Doctor Atomic, his opera about the creator of the atom bomb, Robert J Oppenheimer.
First seen in 2005 (and staged in the UK for this first time earlier this year by English National Opera), it hinges on Oppenheimer's conflicted relationship with the project -- enthralled by the pure science of splitting an atom but appalled by its lethal application. Reworked into a three-movement symphony, the dark profundity of the subject is foregrounded in characteristically complex, tightly woven musical ideas.
National Orchestra of Spain/Joana Carneiro.
