Violin Concerto (2005)
I Rings 4.02
II Paths 10.45
III Rounds 5.20

Relaxation arrives at last in the playful "Rounds"—despite the somewhat sinister orchestration of its opening gestures. From a rhythmically catchy, riff-like tune, "Rounds" plays out, as Adès notes, "with stable cycles moving in harmony at different rates." Jauntily syncopated fiddling dissipates the opaque tensions built up till now. The soloist's attention to limber pleasure is disarming, unperturbed by the cycles orbiting around it and even occasionally joining in the fray—as in the spiraling high jinks that abruptly round the concerto off .

- Thomas May

  • @qiut7 Ah ok thank you. I've been wanting to get a recording of this concerto since I heard a performance of it last year and iTunes has this recording and one other with Christian Tetzlaff (I think) -- I wasn't sure which one to get (or if there were other recordings out there). This concerto is awesome though, the second movement is incredible -- it's crazy that it was written only six years ago
