This playlist is mostly about 20th century classical music. Whilst I’ve been enjoying Holst and Elgar, I think the real highlight has been finding Dutilleux, a little known french composer of real integrity and style. I started off by listening to the Belcea Quartets’ performances, which led to hunting down the orchestral work and boy is it good! Dutilleux’s writing is a wonderful blend of Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky but managing always to maintain an individual voice. Some of the vocal work in particular is excellent! Pieces sung with no vibrato at all, sounding very modern and haunting. I have some more CD’s on order so I’ll be posting up some pointers as I go.
