Timbre, Space and Movement
Donald Macleod explores Dutilleux's early years, growing up in Douai in the far north of France, and his struggles in occupied Paris during the Second World War.
Dutilleux 100
Donald Macleod explores the life and work of one of the 20th century's most sensuous and beguiling musical voices.
Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) was one of French music's greatest composers: the heir to Faur茅, Debussy and Ravel. His music blends ravishing instrumental colours and harmonies with a highly individual approach to new sounds and forms. Always beautiful, never barbarous, Dutilleux's music never clung dogmatically to avant-garde trends or fashions, making his one of the most accessible and appealing modern voices in classical music. In the week of what would have been Dutilleux's 100th birthday, Donald Macleod discusses his life and legacy with two of the UK's leading experts on his music, who the composer wryly dubbed "les deux Carolines...": Caroline Potter and Caroline Rae.
The week begins with Dutilleux's early years growing up in Douai in the far north of France, his struggles in Occupied Paris during the Second World War, and two of his most beloved orchestral works: "Timbres, Space and Movement" and his First Symphony.
