the composer Thomas Adès, provided more than accompaniment. [Robert] Schumann's selection of 16 poems from [Heinrich] Heine's "Lyric Intermezzo," the Dichterliebe (Poet's Love) Op. 48, gives the piano an unusually independent voice, including several extended postludes. Adès exercises a preternatural degree of control at the keyboard--his pianissimo trills sound like a muffled electric bell--and he switched seamlessly between restrained backing for Bostridge and boisterous renderings of the piano music.
