Masterpiece. Dutilleux is one of the greatest composers of the second half of the 20th century (and the beginning of the new millennium) and, in my opinion, underrated - or at least undervalued. This year marks the tenth anniversary of his death and he was the master of the great composer Gérard Grisey.
HIs music is very sophisticated, perfeccionist, and the overall outcome is something more or less out of the place, like us. It is a very direct communication because of this . He also cares to be amusing the whole time, never loses the color, and focus on one very precise single musical idea each time, very precise in focus - the counterpoint is his wa of adding magic to the relatively simple texture without you being able to see. When some section is based on counterpoint like from 10:00 on, you have a clear sense of background and foreground. Considering all this, his music is the closest we can get to Mozart while being contemporary I would say
Je connais beaucoup mieux la deuxième...mais, je trouve que celle-ci vaut largement le détour. Ce n'est pas la plus jouée. Bravo au maître, quelle belle réussite encore. Merci à vous.
he has a very peculiar way of ending things with evanescent decrescendos. The way the last section starts, interrupting the previous section full of tension and counterpoints, appears as a surprising coda as it ends the piece. It looks like an abandonment of the piece, but actually the movement was about abandonment of something that continues to happen elsewhere (the previous fast section) .
Some of the harmonic shifts are reminiscent of Kurt Weill in the final movement. It's amazing how Dutilleux could reflect influences from other composers, but maintain his own unique voice!
died in 2013. Thx for the wonderful video, principüally because i wanted so much to read the first chords of the 3 mov. His scores are not on imslp, and also not easy to find or scan
I think I may have just found my favourite symphony. Edit: I cannot for the life of me figure out why I wrote this... it's still a good piece, but I don't know that I'd consider it my favourite of the symphonies. More edit: After actually listening to the whole thing I have remembered why this is my favourite symphony.
Thank you for this score! I suppose it's too late to swap out the audio for a recording that's not super compressed? The piece kind of loses its finesse without hearing actual dynamics.

Je ne connaissais pas cette oeuvre superbe...c'est un choc et une superbe découverte...Merci. ❤

It is amazing how a combination of horns and bassoons sounds very similar to saxophones...
I think it's mostly in this particular recording, as the bassoons are French (much different tone from German)
With its endlessly fascinating motifs, ideas, colours and textures, this is a great discovery for me!
For me too!
Me 3!🫶
A very brilliant symphony, wonderfully played
Thanks for uploading with the score!
I cannot thank you enough for this! Such an outstanding work, and to be able to follow along with the score...it's just magnificent. As are you!
Since the first time I heard this piece, I've never been able to get enough of the texture change at 5:40
The harp and violas are the cherry on the cake
Agreed. And that final bichord, consisting of two diminished chords sounds so unique...
Amazing ideas and fabulous orchestrations like nuit d'etoiles . Endlessly fascinating !
God, it’s gorgeous. So gorgeous.
Just amazing.
27:03 and on is amazing
Very good

Beautiful - would you share the score in pdf?

Dutilleux influenced by Kurt Weill? Sounds preposterous and likely provably false.
@@FleuveAlphee I hear them. Maybe Dutilleux didn't?
Some parts near the beginning of movement 1 sound like jazz, but of course no one or few will mention that because it's not "classical" .
che meraviglia!!

Pasacalle muy bartokiano.
@@SantiagoQuinto Si, de hecho!
Can you please identify the conductor and orchestra ? Is the conductor Jean-Claude Casadesus as above were it says music in this video ?
No, Roger Albin ; Orchestre National de l'ORTF
Thanks . I'm not familiar with this conductor .

You can detect the influence of Bartok at the 3min-3min 40 point.
it looks like Tom n Jerry underscore.
