Dutilleux: Metaboles - Violin Concerto, L'arbre des songes - Symphony No. 2, Le double

Following the Seattle Symphonys first Grammy®-nominated Henri Dutilleux disc comes the second installment in the Symphonys venture to record a complete survey of the orchestral music of this late, great, long-lived, and most important French composer whose music has been authoritatively described as sumptuous fastidious rigorous seductive non-dogmatic Guardian. This time Ludovic Morlot and his musicians turn their attention to Dutilleuxs most well-known and exciting orchestral work Métaboles. Augustin Hadelich joins for a performance of the violin concerto, Larbre des songes, with the disc completed by a performance of the composers Second Symphony (Le Double), the recordings realized within the spectacular acoustics of Seattles Benaroya Hall, and, in the cases of Métaboles and the Symphony No. 2, recorded live in concert. Founded in 1903, the Seattle Symphony continues to be one of Americas leading symphony orchestras. Music Director Ludovic Morlot has been leader of the orchestra since September 2011. Constantly astonishing audiences with his phenomenal technique, poetic sensitivity and gorgeous tone, violinist Augustin Hadelichs remarkable consistency throughout the repertoire, from Beethoven to Thomas Adès, is seldom encountered in a single artist.
