Info for Thomas Adès: Illuminating from within

Thomas Adès, British composer and well known as a concert pianist has composed eight piano works. These works, written between 1992 and 2011 were recorded by Winston Choi here and it's a great first because if some of these works had already been recorded by Thomas Adès is the first time the entire work piano of this prominent composer was proposed disk.

Adès completely reinvented with each piano work by exploring different techniques of composition, modes of expression, stylistic concerns and the use of the instrument. A unique and singular voice.

The interpreter Winston Choi, Canadian pianist based in Chicago, was the winner in 2002 of the International Competition of Orleans, is a great advocate of the works of contemporary repertoire.
