Featured in NPR's The 50 Best Albums of 2023
Recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall in April 2022 in performances conducted by Los Angeles Philharmonic Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, Dante is a ballet score in three acts - “Inferno,” “Purgatorio,” and “Paradiso” - inspired by the alternately chilling and sunlit landscapes of Dante Alighieri’s La Divina Commedia.
Written in the 14th century, this seminal Italian poem recounts an initiatory journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise. Adès and choreographer Wayne McGregor brought this medieval Christian fantasy to life in London 2021 with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Ballet via a narrative arc about a young woman named Beatrice who embodies a promise of love and hope.
This concert performance of the ballet score by the Los Angeles Philharmonic is the work’s world-premiere audio recording.
