In March 2019, Thomas Adès conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Kirill Gerstein in the world premiere of his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, and it was subsequently named one of the Best Premieres in the New York Times' Best Classical Music of 2019.  On this new album from DG, the live recording of the concerto is paired with Adès' "wonderfully compelling" (The Guardian) Totentanz, featuring baritone Mark Stone and mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn.

    The New York Times - Joshua Barone attended “The Exterminating Angel” in Paris and the premiere of “Aquifer” in Munich. He writes…Pity living composers, toiling away in a field that has long favored dead ones. If they get a precious commission, the cycle tends to go something like this: The work premieres, and then travels to any other ensemble or company that helped to pay for it. After that, who knows.

  • 'Ades Conducts Ades' makes NPR's music and mayhem: A diary of classical albums for a troubled 2020
    Posted At: December 21, 2020 12:00 AM

    The year 2020 was, in so many ways, divided. In terms of live performances, musicians were forced to reinvent, reflect and respond from a distance and in turn I watched their concerts from the remove of my laptop screen. Some artists offered professionally produced live shows, like stunning recitals from Jonas Kaufmann and Lise Davidsen, while others handcrafted their own videos shot in the safety and so...

  • Thomas Ades - Conducts Ades makes NPR Music's 25 favorite albums of 2020....so far
    Posted At: June 29, 2020 12:00 AM

    How can it be possible that we're only halfway through the year? On its relentless whiplash toward the middle, the first six months of 2020 have reframed, redefined, shocked, torn down, confounded and crumbled our expectations, our priorities, our concepts of distance and closeness, of responsibility, of tragedy, of joy. They changed how we listened to music, too: so often alone, through wires and sc...

  • In his first disc for the yellow label, Thomas Ades has delivered a great one / LIMELIGHT
    Posted At: June 3, 2020 12:00 AM

    The English composer Thomas Adès is certainly one of the most performed of contemporary composers due to his early advocacy by Simon Rattle and EMI. He is also a ‘compleat' musician in that he is not only a fine composer, he is also an excellent pianist and conductor. This new disc featuring the recent Piano Concerto (2018) with its dedicatee, Kirill Gerstein, is recorded live with the Bosto...
