Henri Dutilleux is known for his flexibility as a composer, but also as one who will be satisfied with nothing less than utter perfection. His violin concerto “L’arbre des songes” (“The Tree of Dreams”) demonstrates his keen attention to detail, exuding mystery and turbulence, snaking between quiet moments and quick motions. Frequently dissonant and full of suspense, this piece is excitement from beginning to end. Join us for a spectacular performance of “L’arbre des songes” by the Seattle Symphony on Friday’s program.
