5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, distressing, but absolutly fantastic!, 21 Dec 2005
This debut CD of Thomas Ades is wonderful introduction to this composer.

I'm not sure if I'm looking to deeply but I sence in all the pieces on this disk a dark edge beneth all the multicoloured orcestration. 'Catch' I feel is rather frightening in the way the ensemble on stage lures the clarinet to take a seet with them. As you will hear, the final bars of the piece are not dipicting a very happy clarinetist as the entrapping ensemble make one final swipe at them! 'Darkness Visible' might be my favourit piece. It really has the sence of hearing the song through a pool of water or through ages past.

All the pieces have real depth and it is quite amazing

4.0 out of 5 stars (Not Quite Rock-)Solid-Adès, 29 Jan 2000
By lee.dunleavy@hertford.ox.ac.uk (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Rather like the fox, Adès chases up every unfinished seam. 'Life Story' is perhaps the text that every composer missed. Wonderfully, Adès does not miss a trick here, or in any of the songs on this disc. His accompanying only bettered in his solo work. A master pianist. But, there is something missing. It reminds you of the most glorious cake you saw when you were a child. As an adult you realise that it is all icing and there is no real matter behind the fantastic façade. Well, here there is matter behind the icing, but probably not enough. 'Catch' is a miss, as are all the multiple player works on this disc. The solo work and songs, however, are well worth the money. These show the man at his best, as composer and pianist. Well worth the money, but you'd be better with his other EMI release 'Living Toys'.
