Our Take

In true John Adams fashion, Girls of the Golden West is a sweeping, cinematic masterpiece that takes listeners on a journey through the wild west, filled with drama, romance, and yes, even a touch of gold rush glamour. The Los Angeles Philharmonic brings Adams' score to life with precision and passion, creating a sound that is both powerful and delicate.

From the haunting ballads to the toe-tapping dance numbers, Girls of the Golden West is a musical rollercoaster that will leave you breathless. Adams' ability to blend classical and folk influences is on full display here, creating a sound that is both timeless and contemporary.

The album is a true testament to the enduring power of music to transport and transform. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just someone looking for a new sound to groove to, Girls of the Golden West has something for everyone.

So saddle up, partner, and get ready for a wild ride through the golden west. This is one album that is definitely worth gold...if gold were a measure of musical perfection. Trust me, this one is a solid 8.6 on the Pitchfork scale. So grab your boots and your cowboy hat and prepare to be whisked away on a musical adventure like no other. Yeehaw!
