专辑简介
Thomas Adès CBE is a prodigious English composer, conductor and pianist, described by The New York Times in 2007 as ‘one of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation’.
This album features three orchestral suites adapted from their operas by the composer. Luxury Suite from Powder Her Face centres on an elderly Duchess (in all but name the notorious real-life Duchess of Argyll) on the brink of eviction from her hotel room, looking back over her salacious career. Five Spells from The Tempest is drawn from Adès’s 2003 opera based on Shakespeare’s play, while Inferno Suite, based on Dante’s The Divine Comedy, centres on the protagonist’s journey through the fires of hell.
