I just bought a CD of Dutilleux for 7.90 euros (the same label of the Deprez CD). Not bad for a country where 22.00 is very normal price for a 60 minute CD of Bach or Beethoven classics (which you could probably download them on the internet for free, and legally too). The two works on the CD are the First Symphony and Timbres, Espace,Movement. Im not familiar with much of this composers work, but Ive liked both pieces ive heard by the musician. We shall see…

The other day I said “I need to diner” to a friend. When I try, im usually pretty good at franglish, but this was a spontaneous occurrence. I have no explanation.

Dutilleux is great. You will enjoy it. If you like him (as I expect as you are a fan of Debussy and Ravel and Berg-he is sort of a strange combination of all three to my ears), be sure to check out "...tout un monde lointain" (his cello concerto), "l'arbre des songes" (violin concerto) and 'The Shadows of Time" for orchestra and boy soprano. Hypnotic, beautiful and strange music.
