The Death of Klinghoffer

Album by John Adams & London Symphony Orchestra & Penny Woolcock

The Death of Klinghoffer is an opera by American composer John Adams, premiered in 1991. Musically it blends Adams's post-minimalist orchestral language with lyrical vocal writing, employing repetitive motifs, shifting harmonic textures and varied orchestration, and it marked a development in his operatic output by directly addressing contemporary political subject matter.
