The Rotterdam Philharmonic played American music by John Adams and Steve Reich, but began the concert with a world premiere of its own. The Americans were way off in Mathilde Wantenaar's new work (1993), which she had aptly named Prélude à une nuit américaine. There was more to the piece though, such as the stunning instrumentation art, and it contained the most captivating and consistent music of the evening.
