Best Music Of The Year CDs 2002 Classical/Jazz/Rock（incl. both Hi-Res Formats） Here is our 18th annual Best of the Year List, continuing the service first offered in 1985 with the public radio version of AUDIOPHILE AUDITION. As usual, we make no definite claims for this list. It is predicated on our personal tastes and also on what was available to us, but also with an equal emphasis on both the musical and sonic quality of each CD (excepting some of the reissues. This year for the first time we are including choices in rock.) - John Sunier CLASSICAL JOHN ADAMS: Naive And Sentimental Music; Mother Of The Man; Chain To The Rhythm - Los Angeles Philharmonic/Esa-Pekka Salonen - Nonesuch 79636-2 J.S.
