Review:
“Energetic, honest, and warm, these conversations between friends reveal the intricacies of the creative process and a deep and abiding love of music.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Traverse[s] much of the geography of classical music, then and now . . . Arresting and memorable.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Thomas Adès: Full of Noises is a brilliant self-analytical plunge into the mind of one of our greatest artists, the composer Thomas Adès, for whom composing begins with musical notes slipping and sliding across a sheet of paper with a will of their own, and writing an opera feels like swimming alone in a deep ocean. This book is a probing guide to the creative process, as virtuosic in its way as one of Adès's musical compositions.” ―Peter Gelb, general manager, Metropolitan Opera
“[Adès] has outgrown his status as the wunderkind of a vibrant British scene and become one of the most imposing figures in contemporary classical music” ―Alex Ross, The New Yorke
“[Adès] is one of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation.” ―Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
“Even as the UK is brimming with wonderful young composers, I think few would dispute that Tom Adès may be the most extravagantly gifted of them all.” ―Sir Simon Rattle, Gramophone

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Thomas Ades is feted from Los Angeles to London, from New York to Berlin, as the musician who has done more than any other living composer to connect contemporary music with wider audiences. But this celebrated composer, conductor and pianist is notoriously secretive about his creative process, about what lies behind his compositional impulse. Here, Ades opens up for the first time, in conversations with Tom Service, about how he creates his music, where it comes from, and what it means. In these provocative and challenging interviews, Ades connects his music with influences from a huge historical and cultural spectrum - from Sephardic Jewish folk music to 80s electronica, from the films of Luis Bunuel and pre-Columbian art to the soundtracks of Al-Qaeda training videos - and offers a unique insight into the crucible of composition.This edition is updated with a foreword on Ades's opera, Exterminating Angel. An unprecedented glimpse into the creative mind and influences of one of the most intriguing and successful contemporary composers.
