John Adams came across the title Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes? in an old New Yorker and thought it was just asking for music—perhaps a totentanz (dance of the dead), he thought, but in a funky American vernacular. Adams composed the rhapsodic piece for pianist Yuja Wang, a powerhouse, and it should pair nicely with Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, that roar of diabolical life force. Gustavo Dudamel conducts. —L.J.
