Dutilleux described his taut, cogent and deeply satisfying First Symphony as 'a little like the birth and the unfolding of a dream'. Special guest Pascal Roph茅 directs this and the exquisite 'concerto for orchestra' M茅taboles, inspired by the luminous timbres of the Cleveland Orchestra. We return to a Baudelairean world of dreams for the cello concerto 'Tout un monde lointain...' performed by virtuoso cellist Alban Gerhardt, while The Shadows of Time is a devastating response to the diaries of Anne Frank, in which three boy soloists intone 'Why us?'. Part of the 蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra's 'Total Immersion: The Magical Soundworld of Henri Dutilleux' on Saturday 30th April.
