More Accolades for SLSO's "Doctor Atomic"

Though I've yet to see John Adam's Dr. Atomic opera performed live (I would travel for that, if the show was in production) I did go hear the Doctor Atomic Symphony when it made its U.S. premiere at Powell Hall. It was one of the most powerful experiences I've had with live music, period. So it's not surprising that iTunes has just selected it as "Best Contemporary Classical Album" for 2009; the Times of London also selected it as "Best Classical Album of the Decade." Both raves well earned. --Stefene Russell
