t/s: John Adams vs. Phillip Glass vs. Steve Reich

A friend who is a Met subscriber was at opening night, and was revolted by Rudy Giuliani / Fox News etc milking the "anti-Semitic" angle in the plaza. He finds the accusations ludicrous, and as his mate is Israeli I tend to believe him.

Furore made me check out Klinghoffer, which I'd blown off when it came out. Man I am loving this. The 2001 film version is great so far, though I'm glad I listened to the recording first before watching it (there are a lot of diegetic sound cues in the film, especially at the beginning, which distract from the opening choruses)
