    Album Description

    Dive into the vivid and dramatic world of Dante Alighieri's "La Divina Commedia" as reimagined by the brilliant composer Thomas Adès. This captivating album, "Thomas Adès: Dante," is a ballet score in three powerful acts: "Inferno," "Purgatorio," and "Paradiso." Each act is a musical journey through the chilling and radiant landscapes of Dante's masterpiece, brought to life by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel.

    The album features a stunning array of 21 tracks, each meticulously crafted to evoke the vivid imagery and profound themes of Dante's epic poem. From the haunting "Abandon Hope" to the triumphant "Empyrean," Adès' composition is a testament to his mastery of orchestration and his deep understanding of the human condition. The album is a virtuosic performance that moves seamlessly from the grotesque to the sublime, incorporating influences from Franz Liszt and other composers to create a rich and layered musical experience.

    Recorded live at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, this album captures the energy and precision of a live performance, making it a standout addition to any classical music collection. The Los Angeles Master Chorale adds depth and richness to the orchestral arrangements, enhancing the overall impact of Adès' visionary score. Whether you're a longtime fan of Thomas Adès or new to his work, "Thomas Adès: Dante" is a compelling exploration of one of literature's greatest works, brought to life through the power of music.
