L’icône paradoxale
Alain Altinoglu presents two icons of French music by Henri Dutilleux and Gérard Grisey, alongside forgotten songs by Claude Debussy. Dutilleux's Symphony No. 2, "Le Double," known for its polyrhythmic effects and jazzy brass, established his reputation as Debussy's successor. Debussy's early "Ariettes oubliées" and Grisey's "L’Icône paradoxale," inspired by a Piero della Francesca fresco, complete the program.
