Par ADES THOMAS. In Three Studies from Couperin, Thomas Adès empathetically reworks three pieces by the Baroque composer into music that is distinctively Adès without dismissing the source material. The basic structures of harmony and duration in ?Les Amusemens?, ?Les Tours de Passe-passe?, and ?L?Âme-en-Peine? remain unchanged, but the retouching of rhythm, texture and orchestral colours reveals …

Par ADES THOMAS. Thomas Adès?s Violin Concerto ?Concentric Paths?, written in 2005, is one of the most important additions to the violin concerto repertoire since Ligeti?s.

Two lithe, rhythmically driven movemen…
