Adès: Forgotten Dances [DSD EP]

For his 3rd release at NativeDSD, Guitarist Sean Shibe presents the DSD EP Forgotten Dances, Thomas Adès’ six-movement work written for and performed by Shibe. This is a Digital Only Release, Not Available on CD or SACD.

From the Overture, Queen of the Spiders to the opiate-induced Barcarolle, the virtuosic Courante. Here was a swift (for Max Ernst), the clamourous Carillon de Ville (for Hector Berlioz), and the chaconne-like finale Vesper (dedicated to and based on Purcell’s An Evening Hymn), the DSD EP showcases Shibe’s masterful interpretation of Adès’ first published work, asides his keyboard works, for a solo instrument.

This DSD EP offers a first glimpse of Shibe’s album Vesper, set for release in April 2026.
