Edward Venn examines in depth one of Adès's most significant works so far, his orchestral \u003ci\u003eAsyla \u003c\/i\u003e(1997). Its blend of virtuosic orchestral writing, allusions to various idioms, including rave music, and a musical rhetoric encompassing both high modernism and lush romanticism is always compelling and utterly representative of Adès's distinctive compositional voice. The reception of \u003ci\u003eAsyla \u003c\/i\u003esince its premiere in 1997 by Sir Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) has been staggering. Instantly hailed as a classic, \u003ci\u003eAsyla \u003c\/i\u003ewon the 1997 Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Large-Scale Composition. An internationally acclaimed recording made of the work was nominated for the 1999 Mercury Music Prize, and in 2000, Adès became the youngest composer (and only the third British composer) to win the Grawemeyer prize, for \u003ci\u003eAsyla\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eAsyla \u003c\/i\u003eis fast becoming a repertory item, rapidly gaining over one hundred performances: a rare distinction for a contemporary work. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237890187415,"sku":"9781409468844","price":14111.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781409468844.webp?v=1769217933","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/thomas-ades-asyla-9781409468844","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
