Thomas Adès’ The Tempest, one of the most striking and successful operas of recent years, is available for the first time
as a beautifully produced, limited-edition full score. Featuring the stunning image `Octopus’ by artist Claire Burbridge, this
unique cased edition includes colour plates of exclusive images from Ades’ original handwritten score and sketches. Each
copy is signed and numbered by the composer. From the turbulent orchestral prelude with which it begins to Ariel’s stratospheric yet ethereal `Five fathoms deep’ and the radiant quintet of reconciliation in its final act, Thomas Adès conjures up a wholly compelling musical world in The Tempest. Responding to librettist Meredith Oakes’ clear, unfussy refashioning of Shakespeare into formalised rhyme schemes, Adès has created a new kind of tonal language that is both direct and communicative but also indelibly contemporary.
