The oratorio ›El Niño‹ received its world premiere at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris in December 2000 under the baton of Kent Nagano in a production by Peter Sellars, and its first German performance took place at Berlin's Philharmonie in April 2001. Both performances were a resounding success. The CD produced after the world premiere in Paris has now been released by Warner Music Group Company Nonesuch Records, New York. There is also a DVD featuring this performance (see ›Books & DVDs‹).
»What the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin achieves here in terms of cold brilliance and crisp sonorities deserves the highest praise. This is hardly surprising as their principal conductor, Kent Nagano, who directs this performance, is well versed in the music of John Adams and unlikely to overlook even the tiniest semiquaver.« (Die Zeit)
