Product Description
CD Description
The London Sinfonietta combine two works from Thomas Adès, one of the most distinctive and popular voices in modern composition. Both works feature accompanying films (by Tal Rosner and Sophie Clements) that are included in this CD/DVD set. 'In Seven Day is a musical interpretation for piano and orchestra of the biblical creation by Thomas Adès, composed in collaboration with a film-piece by the artist and filmmaker Tal Rosner. Both music and film evoke the processes of the creation rather than the objects described in the movement titles, using simple elements in repeated and evolving contexts in a perpetual state of flux, change and growth. The 'Piano Studies' Nos 6 & 7 are arrangements of player-piano works by the American composer Conlon Nancarrow. An influential figure to generations of composers, Nancarrows studies for the player-piano (or pianola) allowed him to generate music of extreme rhythmic complexity in a multitude of inventive ways. These arrangements for two pianos by Thomas Adès capture the strange magic of the originals, where fragmented musical ideas are played off against each other in a wild, almost jazz-like way. The works are accompanied by film-visualisations by Tal Rosner and Sophie Clements.

This piece is an absolute gem. Joyful and ebullient, it makes an overwhelming impact in concert, and it's good that it has now been caught on DVD (it is definitely a piece to be seen as well as heard, thanks to Tal Rosner's captivating images). If you're new to Ades's music, don't hesitate: if you're familiar with it, this recording is self-recommending. The Nancarrow pieces and an interview with Ades and Rosner make very worthwhile fillers.
