Dutilleux - Symphonie n° 2 "Le Double" - Bertrand de Billy

[@gerardbegni2806]

Amazing rendering of this exciting score, which "flirts" with the form of the concerto grosso. The conductor, the soloists and the orchestra are excellent. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hipidipi20157max]

Beautiful. I have this on CD with this orchestra but I think I like this performance more

[@yvesmaze6078]

Lorsque j'avais rencontré Henri Dutilleux à l'Ecole de Musique de Tarbes, en 1994, je lui avais dit:"Maître, j'admire beaucoup votre deuxième symphonie". Il m'avait répondu: "Je vous remercie, Monsieur... ah bon, parce qu'ils l'ont reprise sur CD en enregistrement numérique? " . A cela je répondis à mon tour: "Je n'en sais rien, mais je possède depuis plus de 20 ans un enregistrement sur disque noir vinyle de marque Erato, sur lequel votre oeuvre, dirigée admirablement par Charles Munch est couplée avec la Suite en Fa d'Albert Roussel. D'ailleurs, en tant que créateur, il me semble que vous descendez de Berlioz à travers Debussy et Roussel" . Et voici maintenant ce que me dit celui qui était sans doute le dernier des grands symphonistes français

[@yvesmaze6078]

Je termine ici le commentaire qui m'a tout à l'heure malencontreusement échappé et qui est la véridique réplique de Dutilleux à mes propos laudateurs: "Oui, je vous remercie encore. Mais, vous savez, ma Deuxième Symphonie, c'est une oeuvre de transition..."

[@didierschein8515]

@@yvesmaze6078 C'et vrai, en quelque sorte, le langage de Dutilleux a évolué après.

Masterpiece in a masterful performance!

[@Alleghenymike]

Perhaps the most intense music I have ever heard. There is no match to Duttileux. This Symphony is pure magic! And this is a particularly good recording

[@EthanMatthes]

Such a professional production: musicians, conductor, camera people, editors, and sound engineers!

@Deangelo Ty i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@allenbraydon7032]

@Deangelo Ty it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

Fantastic performance of this symphony - bravo!!!!!

[@haggai0n0i]

awesome piece! and a perfect performance!

[@dbtrains172]

Amazing, concentrated performance. The way that mystical G dominant 4-3 chord serves as the anchor for the latter stages of the work -- is spectacular.

[@gerardbegni2806]

Dutilleux changed the lest chord - initially a c# major chord into a more complexa non-triadic chord.

[@bearfootsteve6104]

Wow. Bravo 👏

[@fmiyaramusic2462]

And composer!

[@PKWysocki]

@24:29 - and onwards, isn't that a quotation from Stravinsky's Firebird? Dutilleux was a huge fan of Stravinsky, and quoted other composers a lot.

[@whatafreakinusername]

That part sounds nothing like anything from The Firebird

[@oscarridout82]

I've always thought that! I don't think it's something I've seen remarked on by anyone other than myself before ... Especially the horn entry.

[@Alleghenymike]

The final 7 minutes of this work, from the Firebird quote to the end is perhaps some of the most intense music I have ever heard. Duttileux has no match, his exquisite employment of color and harmony and his management of form. Utterly magical music.

[@Alleghenymike]

Certainly!!

優れた演奏

[@johnborstlap5497]

Troubled music by a troubled man, who tried to be both traditional AND modern. Beautiful performance.

[@Alleghenymike]

Why do you say so? Is there something I can read that points to this?

[@rajirospupponko1511]

Neither was he trying to be...

[@contrebassearchet]

Mr Bean on clarinet.

[@Alleghenymike]

And Homer Simpson on Viola

[@LordoftheFleet]

I thought it was Mr Bean, so thanks for confirming. I must admit that I didn't know Mr Bean played the clarinet so well.

[@fredericbrun5125]

Oeuvre superbe, interprétation nette mais captation vidéo fantaisiste, totalement déconnectée de ce qui se passe dans l'orchestre ! Quand on filme ce genre de musique, on engage quelqu'un en régie qui suit la partition et indique ce qu'on doit montrer à l'écran ! Tout est décalé, les gros plans inutiles succèdent aux vues plongeantes vertigineuses... Calmez-vous, messieurs les réalisateurs : nous n'avons pas besoin de vos effets tourbillonnants pour nous captiver : Dutilleux et un bon orchestre suffisent (dommage pour vous, qui vous sentez donc obligés d'en rajouter pour avoir le sentiment d'avoir existé...) !

[@didierschein8515]

Pour ma part, je préfère écouter sans regarder, en général.
