Thomas Adès - The Tempest
Thomas AdèsTHE TEMPESTSimon Keenlyside, Cyndia Sieden, Ian BostridgeKate Royal, Toby Spence, Philip LangridgeThe Royal Opera ChorusThe Orchestra of the Royal Opea House, Covent Gardendir : Thomas AdèsEMI 50999 6 95234 2 7 - Two CDs [P] 2009Currently out-of-printFLAC images, cuesheets, logs, scans, booklet Thomas Adès’s “ism”-defying output gains in variety all the time, but whatever he comes up with in the future it is likely that The Tempest will remain one of his most significant achievements.

Certainly Toby has already developed a love of coloratura, not least Natalie Dessay's recording of the Mozart Concert Arias and Cyndia Sieden's stratospheric turn as Ariel in Thomas Adès's The Tempest. But however doleful his eyes look, this is never going to become a bel canto house.
