There is not much more to add...this is surely his finest moment. Can he sustain it is the question? The EMI marketing must help, but how long will it last? This is perhaps the best buy of the year. For me 'Gefriolsae Me' is the most telling track on this disc. It is early Adès and yet the best. Even without the tangos or blues it is still hard hitting. Fantastic. Buy now!

I found this DVD a pleasure to watch. The 5.1 soundtrack is excellent quality without being "overengineered", and the visuals are top quality - superb definition and unobtrusive camerawork and editing. I didn't have any problem with Simon Rattle's interpretation, but that is a matter of personal taste. All in all, I think this is going to be played often.

I found the music of Thomas Ades so exciting and original, that I bought this title as soon as I had heard it. It is definitely listenable, unlike some inpenetrable contemporary music, and its rhythmic and tonal excitement will cater for all tastes. This is a truly great work, and I would recommend it even to those who are not sure whether to buy it. Ades is on fine form here, and a young talent to watch out for in the future.

This debut CD of Thomas Ades is wonderful introduction to this composer. I'm not sure if I'm looking to deeply but I sence in all the pieces on this disk a dark edge beneth all the multicoloured orcestration. 'Catch' I feel is rather frightening in the way the ensemble on stage lures the clarinet to take a seet with them. As you will hear, the final bars of the piece are not dipicting a very happy clarinetist as the entrapping ensemble make one final swipe at them! 'Darkness Visible' might be my favourit piece. It really has the sence of hearing the song through a pool of water or through ages past. All the pieces have real depth and it is quite amazing

Here Thomas Adès has presented us with a masterpiece. This opera is a cruelly human piece about the sexual exploits and proceeding trial of the Duchess of Argyll. The composer and librettist (Philip Hensher) have created an incredibly moving work that explores the Duchess' unquenchable thirst for sex; the pitiless mockery of the various staff at the Hotel she's staying in; the unforgiving sentence of the Judge; the shameless hypocrisy of the jealous, condemning Duke; the overwhelming humiliation the Duchess suffers when she is finally asked to leave and tries to hold onto the last scraps of dignity she has. The wonderful score Adès has written for this piece of incredible drama works perfectly. His compositional voice is fantastically ... Read More:

I bought this DVD for my husband in the hope it would give him something to watch when the rest of us were watching the Christmas specials. How wrong I was - we all watched Simon Rattle conduct probably the best orchestra in the world. It is mind blowing, fantastic music, incredible camera work and the quality is superb. Please give us more just like this, I recommend this to everyone.
