My kind of artist. And I mean this lady has Artist written all over. She has it all. From her simple, direct, sensual and yet nonaffected delivery to intelligence, charm, sophistication, and a gorgeous voice and musical strength to match her stunning beauty.
After the disharmonious, dark music of the scientists discussing the bomb, this aria comes in like a ray of sunshine: one of the only moments in this opera where beauty is not coupled with terror.
I saw this on TV. My distaste for Mr. Adam's music is all that prevented me from being enthralled by Sasha Cooke. That happened later at a performance at NY Mostly Mozart. Follow her and see what I mean. It continues.
Mmm... If I want to hear anodine American music, I would rather have Rorem or Barber or Menotti. If I want to hear L'enfant et les sortilèges, I hear L'enfant et les sortilèges. Not sure about what this plainly derivative composer should mean to us...
@@davidbastardo4154 Well, for the moment it's still the Americans who rule the world, so, yes, Adams is the greatest composer who ever lived. It's not so bad, after all. In a few years when China will rule the world we will be forced to say that the Yellow River Concerto is great music.

Sasha Cooke has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. So rich and smooth. Lyric Mezzo is my favorite female fach.
Perfekte Verführung eines Intellektuellen, and this in a modern Opera. Unbelievable good intonation
Just returned from seeing Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan
and the only thing I missed was the use of music from Adams opera.
I was interrupted several times
Tenor's articulation hampered - listen to Georges Thill

Uh, let's call something "plainly derivative", it makes us sound smart.
I love her voice but the lyrics make me cringe.

Heiliger Satyr this comment aged like milk.
Lol, gentle reminder that every great composer was called "derivative" by snobs when they were alive at some point.
