Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

One of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation. (New York Times)

Brilliant . . . Adès doesn't mince his words; his observations are penetrating and more than occasionally iconoclastic . . . Full of Noises brings us in close to Adès's approach to his craft - the painstaking labour that goes into "bullying" his notes into place. It is a book that shows us a musical mind at work. (Fred Cohn Opera News)

[Adès] has outgrown his status as the wunderkind of a vibrant British scene and become one of the most imposing figures in contemporary classical music. (Alex Ross New Yorker)

Reseña del editor:

Thomas Ades is feted from Los Angeles to London, from New York to Berlin, as the musician who has done more than any other living composer to connect contemporary music with wider audiences. But this celebrated composer, conductor and pianist is notoriously secretive about his creative process, about what lies behind his compositional impulse. Here, Ades opens up for the first time, in conversations with Tom Service, about how he creates his music, where it comes from, and what it means. In these provocative and challenging interviews, Ades connects his music with influences from a huge historical and cultural spectrum - from Sephardic Jewish folk music to 80s electronica, from the films of Luis Bunuel and pre-Columbian art to the soundtracks of Al-Qaeda training videos - and offers a unique insight into the crucible of composition. This edition is updated with a foreword on Ades's opera, Exterminating Angel.
