Description of Dutilleux: Orchestral Works I

Born in 1916, Henri Dutilleux, a student and then professor at the Paris Conservatory, has long been acknowledged as one of France?s most important composers of the 20th century. Arte Nova is the only label ever to have recorded all the orchestral music of Henri Dutilleux, a project which has been highly praised by reviewers worldwide. The Bordeaux Aquitaine National Orchestra has existed under several different names since its founding in the city of Bordeaux, capital of the Aquitaine province in southwestern France, in 1850. The orchestra performs in the splendid Bordeaux Opera House, which stages over 200 productions every year. Conductor Hans Graf, a native of Austria and former student of the legendary Sergiu Celibidache, won first prize in the Karl Böhm conducting competition in 1979. Since then he has worked with major orchestras in Europa, America and Asia, being named principal conductor of the Houston Symphony Orchestra in 2001. Graf has worked with the Bordeaux Aquitaine National Orchestra since 1993, serving as its principal conductor 1998-2004.
