Free Music Notes for Thomas Ad?s: Living Toys
Free Music Review: Interesting
Hit: 3 Stars
Very interesting though not great by any means by this young composer. Ades has since composed what to me is some of the best 'new' Classical music. Have become a big fan of his.
Thomas Ad?s: Living Toys Poster
This is the second recording of music by young British composer Thomas Ad?s, and it contains several quite impressive works, mostly written between 1993 and 1994. His seven-movement, 20-minute string quartet Arcadiana (Op. 12) stands as the most complete achievement on this disk, and it's a work of striking ingenuity and confidence. Ad?s was 27 when this recording was released, and more than anything it's a document of an imaginative artist finding his own voice. "The Origins of the Harp" is moving for its dramatic turns and a poignant sense of closure. "Gefriolsae Me," sung by men from the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, springs upward from a medieval motet. The title work is the most harmonically jagged and rhythmically free of these works and points to an ever-searching spirit. Among the musicians, the London Sinfonietta, the Endellion Quartet, and Ad?s himself perform with great precision and care, and the engineering is superb. --Pierre RuheClassical Music CDs
