Lieux retrouvs: Music for Cello & Piano Liszt, Faur, Janek, Kurtg, AdsOpis:Product Description A cello recital with a difference from two maverick geniuses, displaying the fecundity of their collaboration. The world famous cellist Steven Isserlis, one of the best-loved instrumentalists of today, joins forces with composer and pianist Thomas Adès, described by the New York Times as one of the most imposing figures in contemporary music.

This recording opens with three of Liszts arrangements for cello and pianothe dark plangency of Isserliss tone emphasizing their elegiac power. Janáceks Pohádka (A Tale) is based on a story with many magical elements, and it is this particular quality which Isserlis and Adès bring out in their aerial performance. The passionate ecstasy of Faurés Cello Sonata No 2 is deeply felt, and the elemental mysterious sadness of Kurtágs miniatures leads the listener into the 21st century and to the title track of this disc which Adès wrote for Isserlis himself. Lieux retrouvés is a characteristically thrilling tour de force, displaying influences from all the composers previously featured and many more. The writing for the cello reaches uncharted levels of difficulty. Isserlis in his thoughtful booklet notes describes it in pictorial terms of rivers and mountainsheres Anthony Tommasini, again in the New York Times:"The rippling figures for piano and cello spin out in crazed, cyclic riffs; the crystalline piano harmonies sound as if the wind were rustling the chimes in the pagoda; the feisty, industrialized propulsive bursts in the finale." Review "The recording throughout gives the players all the space and atmosphere they need to characterise the varied moods and textures of an unusually rewarding programme."
