Description

Thomas Adès’s Violin Concerto ‘Concentric Paths’, written in 2005, is one of the most important additions to the violin concerto repertoire since Ligeti’s.

Cast in three contrasting movements – each linked by a preoccupation with circling musical figures – the concerto, subtitled ‘Concentric Paths’ now occupies a place in standard repertoire.

Two lithe, rhythmically driven movements – Rings and Rounds – bookend Paths, an intensely emotional and gritty exploration of passacaglia-like sequences, which peaks in a lyrical outpouring of exceptional beauty. ‘In just 20 minutes, this three-movement piece does something magical.

The way it swirls ethereally in the first movement, exerts a tragic and vice-like grip in the chaconne-like second part and finally propels you into the uninhibited flight of the finale is like being spun into an infinite space.’ The Guardian (Tom Service)
