Thomas Ades has a body of work behind him which has already ensured his place in the musical canon as one of the crucial cultural forces of the last and the present century. Drew Massey's new study of Ades, Thomas Ades in Five Essays, will bring his music to a new audience, as well as enriching the experience of those who already know it. Massey deftly places Ades in musical and cultural context, with an acute understanding of how Ades works his magic: by 'denying us any sense of stability he simultaneously enchants us'. Unmissable. * Ian Bostridge *
