Buckle Up and Hold On!!

Repertoire Review: “Short Ride in a Fast Machine” (1986) by John Adams

Ever wonder what kind of music a high-speed joyride would inspire a composer to write?  Well, wonder no more!  John Adams recalls a night out in his cousin’s Ferrari through this hundred-mile-per-minute piece that will have you reaching for the OH $#!T handle.
