Thomas Ades - In Seven Days - Kirill Gerstein / Myrios Classics Audio CD 2020 / MYR027

UPC 4260183510277

Kirill Gersteins decade long relationship with British composer and pianist Thomas Adès is reflected through this latest release from myrios classics. Recorded in the luxurious acoustics of the Symphony Hall in Boston, the three Mazurkas for solo piano feature alongside the world premiere recordings of Berceuse from ""The Exterminating Angel"" and the concert paraphrase on ""Powder Her Face"" for two pianos performed with the composer. Together with these works is ""In Seven Days"" for piano and orchestra which anticipated Adèss recent piano concerto written, like Berceuse, especially for Kirill. The live performance was captured in the Seiji Ozawa Hall as part of the 2018 Tanglewood Music Festival, with Adès conducting the Tanglewood Music Centre Orchestra.
