About

Following the Seattle Symphony’s Grammy-nominated Dutilleux disc is the second installment in the Symphony’s venture to record a complete survey of the orchestral music of the great French composer. This time Ludovic Morlot and his musicians turn their attention to Dutilleux’s most well-known and exciting orchestral work – Métaboles. Augustin Hadelich joins for an extraordinarily poetic performance of the violin concerto, L’arbre des songes, and the disc is completed by a riveting live performance of the Symphony No. 2, all in the spectacular acoustics of Seattle’s Benaroya Hall.With naturalistic imaging, depth of field and dynamic range, these recordings have been engineered to audiophile standards and aim to capture as realistically as possible the sound of the orchestra performing on the Benaroya Hall stage. Digital content will be available in stereo, 96k 24-bit high resolution and 5.1 surround sound.

December 2015

The highlight of this Seattle disc is undoubtedly the violin playing of Augustin Hadelich in L'arbre des songes…the warm recording, with some three seconds of echo, suits this work well, as it does the Second Symphony. Here again Ludovic Morlot draws excellent playing from the orchestra

October 2015

[Morlot] opts for a woolier and more pliant (for which don't read softcore) mode of attack. Intuition tells me that Dutilleux would have gravitated towards [this] approach…veins of orchestra perspective are opened up [and Morlot] evokes the thrill of ears discovering orchestral vistas and architecture in the moment.
