- Flowering Tree-Disappointing
Flowering Tree (2 CD) I found that this two CD piece of music very disappointing. I thought it boring and unmelodious, and to have to listen to two CD's was over the top...D.S. Yalden

- Great music, terrible blunder by Nonesuch.
The beautiful, shimmering music is lovely. It reminds me somewhat of Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ... no other living composer approaches Adams for his rich orchestrations, though Graeme Koehne gets better with every piece.

The messed-up libretto is unforgivable ... what moron was overseeing the production? Nonesuch obviously don't wasn't to talk to the customers who paid the considerable outlay for this set ... trying to speak to them or WEA International Ltd about it, is like ... Read More

- Most Romantic Adams yet
The shimmering beauty of the music, the magical Tamil tale of transformative love vs. adversity, and the exceptional performances all make John Adams' opera/oratorio "A Flowering Tree" one of his best releases yet.

A flood of antipodal cultural references washes through the music. Adams' minimalist upbringing barely shows. To create some tonal exoticism, most of Act I seems to be in a medieval mixolydian mode (a scale sounding like G to G on the piano's white keys). The melodic lines are ... Read More

- John Adams in fine form
I was very excited to see this CD was finally available, and I jumped on it. I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed. Adam's writing is both energetic and gorgeous, as ever. An equal to "El Nino", easily. Superior to "Klinghoffer" and (if it even needs to be said) the stumble that "I Was Looking At The Ceiling..." turned out to be. Nothing tops "Nixon", of course, but that opera is stylistically somewhat different from Adam's current style. I have yet to hear "Doctor Atomic" so I can't compare it.

- Problem with printed booklet/libretto
While I enjoyed this opera tremendously when I saw it in Chicago, and this is a very good recording, the included booklet/libretto is completely messed up. The booklet contains two copies of the libretto of Act I, so you can't follow along with Act II. Nonesuch made a huge mistake in the typesetting and printing. I have contacted them, but they have not responded. It's a shame. This is a wonderful opera, but I wouldn't have purchased the media had I known the booklet was a total mess. I feel a bit cheated.
