I live in Toulouse and I was here when this concert took place. I am going to tell you a paradox: what amazes me the most is the writing of the orchestra. It never covers the soloist and however is complex and rather dense. This work is absolutely awsome.
That reminds me of a comment I once heard concerning Das Lied von der Erde: that Mahler's rich orchestration never covers the voice of the soloists, which according to the commentator shows Mahler's great technical mastery.
+Window Trimmer You are sooooo right.... From the 20th century's great violin concertos, we will probably remember Bartok, Prokofiev, Berg, Schnittke and... Dutilleux. Regards from France
Just saw a sponsored link on my Facebook sidebar to France Musique: "Henri Dutilleux, le doyen et le plus grand compositeur français du XXe siècle, est mort aujourd'hui, à Paris, à 97 ans." R.I.P., M. Dutilleux. One of my favorite composers of the 20th century. :-(
J'ai assisté à ce concert, bien placé, à la Halle aux grains située près de chez moi. Était-ce en février 2012, sans doute, puisque le vidéoposteur l'indique. Ce qui m'a frappé en premier lieu, c'est l'homogénéité stylistique de l'œuvre, avec des contrastes coulés dans cette homogénéité. Merci à Justin Geplaveid.
La musique de Dutilleux me donne l'impression de goûter, dans un superbe jardin touffu, à toutes sortes de plantes, des plus savoureuses aux plus indigestes, voire toxiques
It is called cimbalom and comes from Central Europe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimbalom It seems Dutilleux wanted to recreate a sort of carrillon sound to separate the differente sections fo the work as well as a reminder of Douai's carillon, which sound he always loved.
upon first hearing - eh. there's some pretty pictures there, but it's not really the best use of a solo violin. i mean, the soloist could have hit 100 wrong notes, and no one would know the difference.
Eh bien, parfois des decades sont nécessaires pour "entendre" la musique d´un certain maître. Bartok, Mahler, Sibelius, Walton, Richard Strauss, Maessien, et bien d´autres... Essayez Houvaghiem par exemple. Maintenant on écoute, aime et on sait que sa musique s´écrit avec une M. Laissez le temps s´écouler...chers collégues audiopholes.
This is like a badly written version of the Walton concerto. Didn't feel a thing. I'm sure it will take its place among the "played-once-in-a-million-years-just-for-educational-purposes" violin concertos category. Well "played" though.
It's more like I don't "feel" anything, you know, isn't that the purpose of making music? And Walton (which I like, especially the 2nd mov.) was the first one I thought, I can't explain... All of these concertos bring out a taste and a colour and a feeling in me.
ekhangel Well, I'd expect nothing more from a person who actually has no point to make, other than offering the opinion opposite to the one that I just made.
Absolutely fantastic.

Gérard Begni Happy to have you in our groups!
Mais que c'est beau! Que c'est beau! J'en pleurerais!
In the context of the history of Western music, this work reaches heights of genius that is rarely--but rarely--encountered.

Fantastic concerto! And Mr Capucon is a brilliant performer!
My favourite violin concerto after Berg's.
RIP Henri.

Magnifique ! Merci pour tout.
Henri Dutilleux just passed away, aged 97yo
RIP
Thanks for this great quality concert.
Good to see such audience response for a contemporary work so well performed
The musical public in Toulouse is very demanding !!!!!
A fine performance of a fascinating concerto-symphony. However the videographer didn't know where to point the cameras. Shame.....
19:04 Very impressive chord! Love this!!!
Dutilleux est parmi les tout grands !
De man is héél oud geworden Hij stierf 9 dagen geleden en werd 97!. En componeerde geweldige muziek, zoals dit prachtige werk!!
Apparently Dance of Blessed Spirits, Gluck, very nice, and love the Concerto too.
Such wonderful colors
20世紀後半の1985年になって、フランス音楽は名品のバイオリン協奏曲を作れた
この作品以前には佳作しか作れなかった
La musique de Dutilleux me donne l'impression de goûter, dans un superbe jardin touffu, à toutes sortes de plantes, des plus savoureuses aux plus indigestes, voire toxiques
tout à fait ce que je ressens!
Oh my God, I am like "who is this awesome guy," and I find out he died last week...
Opus 32 yeah but don't feel too bad-I mean,saying "who is this awesome corpse" would've just sounded silly.
the encore piece: Christoph Willibald Gluck, Orphée et Eurydice : Mélodie
This is awesomer than gossamer
The tree of dreams...
Ωραίος συνθετης!!!! Ωραία ερμηνεία!!!
what is the encore piece?
Wow! IMHO, only Szymanowski 1 is a better 20th century Violin Concerto. What is that instrument shown at 20.55?

Lovely
This is 'way cool
nice
Sad news, RIP...
RIP..............
バルトークの２番以降のバイオリン協奏曲の最高傑作
プロに認知されるまでに、年数がかかる
ベルクのバイオリン協奏曲以降に作られたバイオリン協奏曲の最高傑作
デュティユーはグランメトル
who fucking coughs at concerts
Who dislikes this?
ベルクのバイオリン協奏曲と武満のバイオリン曲を合わせたようなバイオリン協奏曲
20世紀の名品

Vite, un tube de préparation H !
RIP
カプソンのバイオリン独奏は素晴らしい
デュティユーのバイオリン協奏曲で、フランスはやっと国際的に通用する名品を作れた
デュティユー以前はツィガーヌしか無かった

Pourquoi? Je trouve personnellement que cette œuvre séduit immédiatement.
Is music for the masses? Is it a free expression of an individual's deepest sensibilities? Is it truly artistic when it can be both?
17:00はメシアンの、峡谷から星たちへみたい
Voyage
What's the encore?
Gluck, Melody from "Orfeo ed Euridice" (Dance Of The Blessed Spirits), Arr. Fritz Kreisler
I've just noticed now that you had already given the answer above 2 years ago...
フランスはバイオリン協奏曲の名品が、デュティユーまで無かった
12:11
01:03 allez encore 30 minutes... pfff
This is like a badly written version of the Walton concerto. Didn't feel a thing. I'm sure it will take its place among the "played-once-in-a-million-years-just-for-educational-purposes" violin concertos category. Well "played" though.
+Ahmet Yılmaz The Seattle Symphony won a Grammy Award last night with their recording of it. Someone must like it.
+Norm Hardy The award that Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift got as well? Well now everything makes sense.

I love this piece. I listen to it quite often. I hope to hear it performed some day.
