"Must the Devil have all the good tunes?" John Adams' piano concerto asks exactly that question this month on SymphonyCast (2/14). The piece features solo piano (performed by Yuja Wang), bass guitar and "detuned 'honky tonk' piano." Tune in to hear the piece marked "Gritty, Funky" and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.
