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.
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. :-(
+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
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.
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.
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.
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.

Gérard Begni Happy to have you in our groups!
Mais que c'est beau! Que c'est beau! J'en pleurerais!

Absolutely fantastic.
My favourite violin concerto after Berg's.
RIP Henri.
In the context of the history of Western music, this work reaches heights of genius that is rarely--but rarely--encountered.

Nor Schoenberg; Szymaowski, Roslavets, and Jolivet
Fantastic concerto! And Mr Capucon is a brilliant performer!
the encore piece: Christoph Willibald Gluck, Orphée et Eurydice : Mélodie
Magnifique ! Merci pour tout.
Henri Dutilleux just passed away, aged 97yo
RIP
Thanks for this great quality concert.
Dutilleux est parmi les tout grands !

Good to see such audience response for a contemporary work so well performed
The musical public in Toulouse is very demanding !!!!!
19:04 Very impressive chord! Love this!!!
Such wonderful colors
Apparently Dance of Blessed Spirits, Gluck, very nice, and love the Concerto too.
A fine performance of a fascinating concerto-symphony. However the videographer didn't know where to point the cameras. Shame.....

tout à fait ce que je ressens!
This is awesomer than gossamer
Ωραίος συνθετης!!!! Ωραία ερμηνεία!!!
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.
Lovely
De man is héél oud geworden Hij stierf 9 dagen geleden en werd 97!. En componeerde geweldige muziek, zoals dit prachtige werk!!
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
nice
The tree of dreams...
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
Sad news, RIP...
what is the encore piece?
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 dislikes this?
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?
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
カプソンのバイオリン独奏は素晴らしい
Wow! IMHO, only Szymanowski 1 is a better 20th century Violin Concerto. What is that instrument shown at 20.55?

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
17:00はメシアンの、峡谷から星たちへみたい

Pourquoi? Je trouve personnellement que cette œuvre séduit immédiatement.
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
who fucking coughs at concerts
12:11

Vite, un tube de préparation H !
01:03 allez encore 30 minutes... pfff

+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.
