Recording & Production

This album is part of a recorded survey by Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony of Dutilleux's complete orchestral music.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Dutilleux remained independent, never aligning with specific schools or 'isms' of 20th-century music, but found inspiration through contact with other artists, literature, and painting.

Composer Biography

Henri Dutilleux, who passed away in 2013 at age 97, was considered one of the great French composers of the last century.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Dutilleux's music, with its rhythmic and formal freedom, places him in the tradition of modern French composition stemming from Debussy and Ravel.

Performer Biography

Augustin Hadelich, the violinist on this album, is known for his phenomenal technique, poetic sensitivity, and consistent mastery across a wide range of repertoire.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Dutilleux was a fastidious artist who worked slowly, focusing on the sensual qualities of sound and cultivating an evocative, ambiguous musical poetry.

Performer Biography

Augustin Hadelich plays on the 1723 'Ex-Kiesewetter' Stradivari violin, which is on loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
