Henri Dutilleaux's perfectionism resulted in a distinctive and individual musical language of rare poetry and invention. The interplay of stereophonic and polyrhythmic effects and jazzy brass writing in Symphony No. 2 "Le Double" forms, in the composer's own words, 'a musical play of mirrors and of contrasting colours', while Timbres, espaces, mouvement is Dutilleux's response to Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, a 'longing for the infinity of nature'. The series of snapshots in Mystère de l'instant evokes fleeting and almost magical moments in time, its cumulative power indicative of a consummate composer at the heigh of his powers.
"It is the overall result that counts, and Darrell Ang proves he understands intimately the thought processes of Dutilleux, which he makes into a highlight of the performance and obtains all that he demands from the musicians to support this. The result is impressive in its fluidity and engagement." Five Stars Diapason
"At bargain price this is a very promising start to a Dutilleux project" Gramophone
