John Adams: The Chairman Dances (1985 Nixon In China excerpt)

Amazing piece

evocative of a frantic, ever restless hive, working, building, growing

well you should thank clear and overt influence of philip glass' productions for that whether one was watching the 70s einstein on the beach or the early 80s film koyansqatsi.

wrong wrong wrong idiot....einstein on the beach was written and first produced in 72!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nixon in china landed in 88 after all the hoopla of glass' 3 operas..........

well for one thing this isn't the clompete chairman dances so don't judge something out of context. Rhianna? wtf?

nyu huh, Adams was the one to start developing a post minimalist style way before Glass did.

oh you're so full of shit. yes he started b4 glass, but since glass, adams has been doing glass ever since. is it a coincidence that glass wrote 3 operas starting in the 70s with einstein on the beach and received all this attention that adams writes one extremely similar to glass's operas musically and visually????????????

uhm what ????

Einstein on the Beach and and Nixon in China, ar e ver y deifferent both musically and visually....

"less refined" than a Rihanna song? XD
You joker
Would you explain to me how you made that connection? I even listened to that song, but fail to hear any resemblance whatsoever

Lol Rihanna... How can you even listen to that horrid crap?
