BBC SO 2015-16 Season Pascal Rophé conducts Dutilleux

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 Rophé directs this and the exquisite ‘concerto for orchestra’ Métaboles, inspired by the luminous timbres of the Cleveland Orchestra. We return to a Baudelairean world of dreams for 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?’.
