The Twenty-Fifth Hour. The Chamber Music of Thomas Adès

The Los Angeles based Calder Quartet releases an album of works by Thomas Adès, including the British composer’s first ever work for string quartet, Arcadiana; The Four Quarters and Adès’s single movement Piano Quintet with Adès himself at the piano. Winners of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, The Calder Quartet, called “outstanding” and “superb” by the New York Times, collaborate with artists across musical genres, having commissioned over 25 works to date. ‘The Calder Quartet played the most insightful and moving performance of Thomas Adès’s Arcadiana I have ever heard.’ – The Guardian
