Thomas Adès

Thomas Adès composed the score for the 2019 film Colette starring Keira Knightley and Dominic West which is based on the life of the French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. The film explores her fight for creative ownership and resistance to the societal constraints of the early 20th century. The solo piano piece Souvenir appears in the end credits played by the composer himself.

David Murray says 'Still Sorrowing' a lament which is also a homage to Romantic sentiments proved to make the most ingenious use of a 'prepared' piano that I have heard in a long time. While a recurrent plaint tintinnabulates at the top of the piano's range and deep chords resonate at the bottom some muffling device allows intricate figures and rhythms at mid-keyboard to rattle hollowly; a haunting sound-scape and too strikingly musical to seem tricksy.'Financial Times 13 January 1993

Par ADES THOMAS. Composed in 2009 for Emmanuel Ax, Thomas Adès's Mazurkas listen to the Polish folk genre as it was listened to by Chopin, except that its rhythms and the heave of its shifting accents are now caught from further off, in a stranger world. A pianist of phenomenal talent himself, Adès writes for the instrument with fluency and intelligence, creating something both boldly original and deeply rooted in the tradition./ Répertoire / Piano
