Awards and reviews
30th September 2011
This two-disc summary of Adès's career avoids some of the more obvious works – nothing from The Tempest, for instance – but manages to include both his youngest work and some recent, hitherto unrecorded pieces...[Chamber Symphony] is powerfully suggestive of an imagination bursting to be heard.
25th September 2011
this is essential Adès, impeccably performed, for those wanting to survey the oeuvre in all its quixotic variety.
