Edo De Waart conducting the San Francisco Symphony. Recorded at Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, November, 1986.
An outstanding compilation of minimalist orchestral music, five works are included on this disc:
- The Chairman Dances (Foxtrot for Orchestra) (1985)
- Christian Zeal and Activity (1973)
- Tromba lontana (1985)
- Short Ride in a Fast Machine (1986)
- Common Tones in Simple Time (1979)
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: One of the first CDs I owned, the works here turned me into a huge fan of Adams' early work.

Chamber Symphony/Grand Pianola Music (1994)
