First listened to Ligeti, then Stockhausen, now Ades, 3 guys keeping modernism alive. How am I supposed to get ready for bed then get some sleep? Some of us don’t have character enough to drag ourselves away from music we’re enjoying so damned much. But thanks just the same.
I’ve had decidedly mixed feelings about Ades over the years. When I first heard Tevot, it was live, with that enormous orchestra, and I was mesmerised. I still think Concentric Paths is interesting too. This work, not so much.

absolutely brilliant, 22 years old Ades here

Love the Falla's music mentions.
Genius! Great composition.
I’ve enjoyed this piece for many years now. Unfortunately, it’s the only Ades work I appreciate.
Gracias!!! Que brutal pieza!!
sodelicious...........................
Echoes of the opening to Asyla straight away.
Audience: Give us a tune, then.
Ades: No.
Jesus ain't coming!
As with all Ades, much ado about nothing
I know what you mean, but listening again after many years, I disagree.
