John Adams' El Nino at WDCH
Paul Viapiano and Brian Head onstage at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this past weekend where Esa-Pekka Salonen conducted the LA Philharmonic, LA Master Chorale, Dawn Upshaw, Michelle DeYoung and Willard White in three performances of John Adams' El Nino.
The score calls for 2 steel-string guitars with light amplification. I played my Taylor 810 with a Dean Markley pickup and Brian played a Larrivee cutaway with onboard electronics, and each guitar was amplified through a Trace Elliot TA100R amplifier.
