The Riot Ensemble : Approaching Dutilleux

Approaching Dutilleux' is a series of recordings taken from a concert project that took place in London and Cambridge in May 2014. Scheduled on the one-year anniversary of Henri Dutilleux's death (22 May, 2013), five emerging composers from around the world were commissioned to write pieces inspired and/or informed by Dutilleux's masterwork Les Citations. This CD brings together all five of these new works, with their many different visions of - and approaches to - Dutilleux, along with Arlene Sierra's Petite Grue, written on the occasion of Dutilleux's visit to Cardiff University in 2008.
