    Album Description

    Dive into the depths of the human experience with Thomas Adès' powerful and evocative score for Dante, a ballet inspired by Dante Alighieri's timeless masterpiece, "La Divina Commedia." This three-part orchestral journey, recorded by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel, explores the vivid and haunting landscapes of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, as imagined by Adès. From the chilling grotesquery of "Inferno" to the sublime beauty of "Paradiso," the album showcases Adès' unique compositional voice, blending intricate orchestration with a touch of Lisztian flair. The album features a virtuosic performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, bringing Adès' ambitious vision to life. Released on Nonesuch Records, this premiere recording is a testament to the enduring power of Dante's epic poem and Adès' masterful storytelling. With a duration of 1 hour and 31 minutes, this album is a captivating exploration of the human condition, from the darkest depths of despair to the heights of divine enlightenment.
