This is an excellent collection of Henri Dutilleux's music, for it shows off the best of his many sides, vocal as well as orchestral. "L'arbre des songes" is a concerto for violin and orchestra, but the soloist's role keeps quite close to the orchestra, only bursting from the pack now and then. His Two Sonnets by Jean Cassou is, so far, his only published vocal music. They are based on two wartime sonnetts by Jean Cassou and, while tonal, are quite grim. Timbres, Espace, Mouvement avec Interlude is Dutilleux's most recorded piece, here shaped quite well. An excellent series. --Paul Cook

4 out of 5 stars very impressive.......2006-10-20

The difficulty in free-form, coloristic writing such as Dutilleux's is that the audience has no point of reference, no learned expectations to enable them to understand what the composer is up to. In other words, the composer's task is in one way much easier if he keeps to the conventions of, say, a sonata form; for he then can play upon what the audience expects of such a form, for dramatic effect and immediate, all but guaranteed comprehension. So in free-form, through-composed music such as is found in these pieces, it can be a real challenge for the composer to communicate with his audience.

Dutilleux meets this challenge more than ably. His expressive devices and gestures are so effective and distinct, and the formal architecture of the pieces, while not generally based in any conventional forms, develops according to such an intelligent emotive logic, that there's no difficulty following the progression of ideas. Rather than being aimless, then (as this kind of writing can easily become), these are gorgeous, expressive, and uniquely original orchestral compositions. I much prefer Dutilleux to the other composers of this sort of music with whom I am familiar: Varese, Zappa, and Salonen.

The BBC Philharmonic plays the music with enthusiasm, as though they'd been raised on this style. This disc presents some of the most fulfilling musical Modernism I've ever come across. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent........2006-10-05

These are some of Dutilleux's finest works, but the real find here is "Priere pour Nous Autre Charnels." I cannot believe how beautiful this piece is, and alone it is worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars A master.......2005-03-02

This was, I'm afraid to say, my first encounter with Dutilleux's music. Although not as earth-shaking an experience as my first time hearing Messiaen, it was nevertheless an overwheming one. I found "Timbres, espace" to be a truly powerful work, demonstrating the composer's utter mastery. I actually was looking at a reproduction of Van Gogh's "La Nuit etoilee" while listening to the piece, and it was genuinely transforming. I look forward to hearing this work live in concert, and only wish more orchestras would take the time and effort to program more works by this great composer. The other works on this recording, especially the concerto for violin, are all remarkable. Dutilleux certainly deserves his place as a 20th-century master.

5 out of 5 stars Dutilleux at his best.......2000-09-06

This CD conveniently couples what are surely Dutilleux's two greatest works, the Violin Concerto "The Tree of Dreams", and "Timbre, Espace, Mouvement", inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night".

The violin concerto is in a four-movement form, with the movements without a break, linked by brief, fragmentary interludes. The composer explains this by saying that he does not want to stop between movements, so as not to lose "music's power to enchant". This phrase is, in many ways, the key to the piece. It is a delicate tracery of instrumental lines, the violin less prominent than many concerti, and with almost a concerto grosso group (containing much percussion, including a delightfully-used cimbalom) mediating between violin and orchestra. The melodies are delightful, and the orchestration sparkles -- it's no wonder that many prominent musicians rate this as the best violin concerto of the last fifty years.

But the second work on the disc is, to my mind, even finer. "Timbre, Espace, Mouvement" takes the apocalyptic radiance of the Van Gogh painting and translates it into music that is much harsher in color than much of Dutilleux, but is utterly compelling. Listening to this work, you can almost see the painting before your eyes.

This performance uses Dutilleux's revised edition of 1991, where the two movements are joined together by a spectacular interlude for twelve solo cellos, and is the best performance I've heard on disc.

The fill-ups are relatively minor works, but nothing Dutilleux has done is anything but worth hearing, and they're well worth having on disc. The first two works, though, are the ones I come back to time and time again.

    5 out of 5 stars From an Orfeo collector..........2006-07-05

    I presently have approximately 35 recordings of this opera... It is by far my favorite opera, but for reasons I won't go into here.

    Regarding this recording: I was not expecting much. I had only heard Tourangeau in secondary roles with Sutherland as the lead Soprano previously. However, I was intrigued by novelty.

    And I was blown away. Tourangeau has a deep and visceral voice I never heard in her Adalgisa & company. She sings the music with an ear for musicality that astonished me -- perfectly appropriate ornamentation and phrasing, emotion welling in her voice, and outstanding cooperation with the orchestra.

    Malfitano and Hendricks are in equal form throughout. The recording quality is relatively flawless. And yes, it IS the original, early Italian version of the opera. The only major cave to the 1774 remake in French (or at least it's Alto transposition) are the F's at the end of "Che faró senza Euridice."

    Finally, the recital pieces of Tourangeau's at the end are well appreciated in getting to know the artist better. In all, this is a recording well worth the price.

    2 out of 5 stars good music, but with too much background noise .......2006-02-10

    good music, but with too much background noise. Her the Italian version is recorded, that important message should be shown on the cover. Thids version is not dull, but there is adifference with the french version (next to the language).
