About

“Like all great pieces, each time one returns to them and restudies them, I’m able to find something more — new dimensions that I haven’t seen before, other reflections of innovation and genius.”

December 2019
A longtime Adams champion, Nagano shapes and sustains the floating, constantly mutating textures of Common Tones in Simple Time…Nagano shows equal skill in maintaining those long, keening lyrical lines in Harmonielehre (1985), where minimalism shakes hands with late Romanticism to the refreshment of both.
November 2019
Suffice it to say that this burnished, energetic, exhilarating Short Ride compares with the best of them, with the stunning Montreal brass providing a critical edge...Nagano and the Montreal players meticulously observe the calibrated nuances on which [Common Tones] depends...Any description of this Harmonielehre must begin with the Decca technical team, whose fully dimensional sound reproduction is a model of clarity and spaciousness.
