Live Performance Recorded On Vinyl LP!
'Must The Devil Have All The Good Tunes?' is American composer John Adams' latest creation for piano. Written for pianist Yuja Wang, this Los Angeles Philharmonic commission had its world premiere at Walt Disney Concert Hall in March 2019. The orchestra, Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel & Ms. Wang returned to the iconic venue the following November to make this live recording of the work, described by The New York Times as "uneasily fascinating ... [a] beautifully disconcerting concerto."
