But this celebrated composer, conductor and pianist is notoriously secretive about his creative process, about what lies behind his compositional impulse. Here, Adès opens up for the first time, in conversations with Tom Service, about how he creates his music, where it comes from, and what it means. In these provocative and challenging interviews, Adès connects his music with influences from a huge historical and cultural spectrum - from Sephardic Jewish folk music to 80s electronica, from the films of Luis Buñuel and pre-Columbian art to the soundtracks of Al-Qaeda training videos - and offers a unique insight into the crucible of composition.This edition is updated with a foreword on Adès's opera, Exterminating Angel.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation. ―\u003cbr\u003e\nNew York Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrilliant . . .
