In 1995, the music press was shaken up: Thomas Adès, just 24 years old, had brought the opera "Powder her Face" to the stage, which satirically describes the extravagant, dissolute life of an upper-class lady. Adès established a musical style that effortlessly alternates between avant-garde and ironically broken quotations from older works, while at the same time combining catchiness with great imagination. Sergei Rachmaninov's "Symphonic Dances", on the other hand, are a farewell work: behind the harmless title lies an entire symphony, an impressive statement that musically recalls moments from a rich composer and virtuoso's life.
