Playlist: Thomas Adès on Solitude
Take time for yourself and enjoy this playlist by Composer Thomas Adès.
Composer Thomas Adès has gifted us with a perfect playlist on the subject of solitude, a subject not confined to any one genre. Classical and opera to be sure, but also Brazilian giant Caetano Veloso, influential art rocker Kate Bush, cabaret sophisticate and playwright Noël Coward, and an ending too good to spoil.
