Background: In a major addition to EMI Classics' ongoing Thomas Adès catalogue, this new disc presents four recent orchestral compositions recorded live in concert, all available on CD for the first time.

Tevot (2007) was commissioned by the Berliner Philharmoniker and Carnegie Hall. In Hebrew, Tevot means "arks", as in the Ark of the Covenant or Noah's Ark. It can also mean box or vessel, like the cradle in which the baby Moses was placed among the reeds. Another meaning of Tevot is the bars in a piece of music.

The Violin Concerto 'Concentric Paths' (2005), was commissioned by the Berliner Festspiele and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. It is dedicated to Anthony Marwood and scored for a Beethoven-scale orchestra plus two percussionists.

Three Studies from Couperin (2006) was commissioned by the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Adès has long been fascinated by the compositions of the 18th Century French composer François Couperin. In this work Adès adapted three of Couperin's keyboard works, colouring them with contemporary instruments and ideas.

Overture, Waltz and Finale from Powder Her Face (2007): Powder Her Face began life as a chamber opera in 1995 about the colourful life of the Duchess of Argyll. It has had more than 30 international productions since then. This re-orchestration "transforms the original's sparse textures into a pointillistic phantasmagoria, its exuberance finally collapsing into shards of disillusionment. It is a fine showpiece." - The Guardian.
