Adès Conducts Adès by Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, P. I., Adès, срд 22 февр. 2023, С (2023/2023), Дирижёр Thomas Adès, Southbank Centre, Лондон, Великобритания

There’s something unique about hearing a great composer conduct: here Thomas Adès leads the London Philharmonic Orchestra And it’s not just their own music that comes alive: a composer’s insight can make even a familiar Shakespearean classic sound as if it’s being re-created before our ears. Adès takes two of his own recent works – the Dante-inspired Inferno Suite and (in its first UK performance) the suite from his opera The Tempest – and pairs them with two pieces of his own choice; elemental, emotionally-charged pieces of musical storytelling by Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. With Adès himself on the podium, it’s hard to say which will be more electrifying.
