«Verso il 1680 lo scrittore inglese John Aubrey mise per iscritto un incantesimo di invisibilità che sembra tirato fuori da una fiaba, e per giunta una particolarmente macabra. Un mercoledí mattina, prima del sorgere del sole, bisogna sotterrare la testa recisa di un suicida insieme a sette fagioli neri. Dopo aver annaffiato i fagioli per sette giorni con un buon brandy, apparirà uno spirito che baderà a essi e alla testa sepolta. Il giorno successivo i fagioli germoglieranno e bisognerà convincere una bambina a coglierli e a toglierli dai baccelli. Uno di questi fagioli, messo in bocca, renderà invisibili. Aubrey racconta che due mercanti ebrei di Londra, non riuscendo a procurarsi la testa di un suicida, ci provarono con quella di un povero gatto ucciso ritualmente…

Classical, Opera | Label: Nonesuch Records

John Adams’ 2005 opera explores the personal and moral issues surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb. Captured live in concert, it has colossal power and conviction. At its center is Gerald Finley’s commanding performance as Robert Oppenheimer, a scientist wracked by doubts. Having sung it at the premiere and many times since, he produces a magnificently characterized creation. Julia Bullock, Brindley Sherratt, Samuel Sakker, and Andrew Staples are all superb in supporting roles and Adams himself draws virtuoso playing from a truly galvanized BBC Symphony Orchestra. A major recording of a modern operatic classic.

His most visionary and ambitious stage work to date … Adams’s conducting, second to none in his own music, had tremendous conviction and unique authority, with every facet of the score’s terrible beauty laid bare … thrilling playing and choral singing … Gerald Finley conveyed Oppenheimer’s moral agony with singing of great refinement and subtlety.’ — Guardian
