Performer Biography

The Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, founded in 1996, has gained international recognition for its daring repertoire choices and its commitment to contemporary music.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Hugues Dufourt's vision of the orchestra, drawn from spectral analysis, is that of a 'milieu' or 'environment' capable of generating an indefinite plurality of phenomena.

Compositional Technique

Hugues Dufourt's music blurs the boundary between chord and timbre, with harmonic objects endlessly weighed, scrutinized, distorted, and filtered by instrumentation.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Hugues Dufourt's works are characterized by the slow differentiation of a global 'structural sonority,' like a 'texture, a web or frame that tears and repairs itself without interrupting its movement of progression.'

Recording & Production

This album is the second volume of orchestral works by Hugues Dufourt, featuring two pieces: Lucifer d'après Pollock (2000) and Voyage par-delà les fleuves et les monts (2010).

Performer Biography

Pierre-André Valade, the conductor, is especially known for his performances of 20th and 21st-century repertoire and has received numerous awards for his recordings, including two Diapason d'Or de l'année.
