Our Take

Angele Dubeau & La Pieta's collaboration with composer John Adams on "Portrait" is a delightful auditory rollercoaster that takes you on a journey of emotions. From start to finish, this album mesmerizes with its intricate compositions and masterful performances.

The opening track, "Shaker Loops: I. Shaking and Trembling," immediately immerses you in a world of pulsating rhythms and ethereal melodies. Dubeau's violin playing shines brightly, complemented by the impeccable precision of La Pieta's ensemble.

As the album progresses, Adams' ability to seamlessly blend classical and contemporary influences becomes more apparent. Tracks like "Road Movies: I. Relaxed Groove" and "John's Book of Alleged Dances: Dogjam" showcase the composer's playful attitude towards music, while Dubeau and La Pieta's impeccable musicianship breathes new life into these compositions.

The standout track on "Portrait" has to be the hauntingly beautiful "Scheherazade.2: III. Scheherazade and the Men with Beards." Dubeau's emotive playing evokes a sense of urgency and yearning that is truly captivating.

Overall, Angele Dubeau & La Pieta's interpretation of John Adams' works on "Portrait" is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike. It's a testament to the timeless quality of Adams' compositions and the virtuosity of Dubeau and her ensemble. So grab your headphones and prepare to be swept away by this enchanting musical journey.
