Album

John Adams' China Gates and Phrygian Gates, both from 1977, are almost inevitably paired on CDs and in recital. They are among Adams' earliest mature works, but they have become established as classics of late 20th century American piano literature. Running about five minutes, China Gates is a shimmering miniature whose luminescence foreshadows the quietly ecstatic radiance and transparency of the composer's Common Tones in Simple Time and Light Over Water, written not long after. Jalbert captures the rippling magic of the score in a performance of unusual delicacy and flexibili. Orphee Suite arr. Barnes for piano: II. Orphee's Bedroom, 01:52. Barnes for piano: III.

It has a delicacy that the larger piece doesn't have, and Jalbert brings out plenty of beauty from this simplicity. The Orphee Suite by Philip Glass was transcribed for piano by Paul Barnes, based on Glass's 1991 chamber opera, which was inspired by the great 1950 film by Jean Cocteau. Jalbert's version of this dramatic music is preferable to Barnes' own recording, released on Orange Mountain in 2003. It seems to me more incisive, less sentimental. As well, the ATMA disc has exceptional sound
