Scheherazade.2

John Adams' Scheherazade.2 is a moving powerful symphony but how it would work without the woman for whom it was written is beyond me. Leila Josefowicz is a marvel and her performance on Thursday at the Barbican with the London Symphony Orchestra one that elevates the form and contempory music to a new level.
