I really love that descending 5th modulating thing that has become his “signature,” and I’m happy to see it return in this piece. I hear the first three minutes as “digging,” then when that figure appears it is the “water”. Very effective use of dramatizing harmony, in a way. Adés kicks so much ass! Thank you for this upload.
Gee, that´s a bit harsh.Even in his occasional pieces,Ades is a billion times better than Max Richter,who isn´t a classical composer at all...Shanty was written as a piece to be performed during Corona times by professional or amateur orchestras....Hindemith did similar things. And Colette is a stylish ,lightweight soundtrack...Shostakovich did similar things.....Ades is a superb craftsman who wants to connect to many diverse genres and audiences..@@jcbdwsn
@@bierrepoulez8524 Dante is a stunning masterpiece, a brilliant paraphrase on the master of pharaphrases, Liszt. It´s mind blowingly brilliant. After just one hearing, i wouldn´t place Aquifer quite in the same category, brilliant as it is....I think it could be a bit more dynamically varied and economic, too often the orchestra plays massive walls of sound...Since Mr.Ades often revises and fine tunes his scores, i think,we might get an even better version of a very,very good work.
I think so. I'm not certain what I think of it. He seems to have a Holst-eqsue influence, except there is no central melody being developed throughout the piece. It's disjointed, but not quite atonal. I personally won't be adding it to my collection
@@Talmuridsome british sound, agree...Holst, by the way, one of my favourites, f ex op 37 . And here Mr Adès, I am surprised, not this horrible sound as we have to bear so often in new pieces of our times....Mr Adès knows them all.....including Stravinsky, Hindemith, Britten, Martinu, Mahler and of course the origin behind them : Wagner ....best wishes

Another spectacular Ades masterpiece, and a mind blowing display of orchestral virtuosity in a spectacular performance!
It's a great return to form after the drudgery of some of his recent Max Richterisms... (Dawn, Shanty, the music for Colette)
Do you put Dante in this category?

@@libelle176 I love Dante! I suppose Paradiso from that proves he can make the more minimalist style work sometimes at least
sodelicious...........................
was this premiered today?

This is the second performance -- it was premiered the day before (14th of March)
Contemporary CLASSICAL music 😉

Ades is such a reactionary mediocrity. So are his admirers.
Why do you think that?
