Barrel organs, drunkards, and a dancing bear: Stravinsky’s Petrushka whirls you away to a vibrant village fair. In a puppet booth amid the hustle and bustle, a love tragedy unfolds between three marionettes—or are they actually alive? Well on its way to the same iconic status as Petrushka is the brilliantly virtuosic Piano Concerto by Thomas Adès. If anyone deserves to be called the Stravinsky of our time, it’s him.

If you ask me who the most interesting composer of our time is, the first one that comes to mind is probably Thomas Adès.
