Remembering Henri #Dutilleux, born 22 January 1916. He was one of the nicest and most charming men I've ever met and has had an impact on my life in so many ways

I have seen some things in my time, but a Dutilleux comic is certainly one of the oddest - of course AI can’t my spell ‘me’ but substitutes a linguistic shape ‘ine’. Go to Academia.edu and see if you too can have a comic of your paper…

Marvellous review by @carolinefrmus in Tempo (July) of @clare_pianist 's release of @krhes' disc (Hände – Music for Piano): "Brilliantly performed by Hammond, all the works on this disc would be a welcome addition to the repertoire of pianists interested in contemporary music."

Another wonderful review for @clare_pianist and her recording of my piano works on 'Hände - Music for Piano' - in Musical Opinion (5*****) Thanks to her, NorthernAudioProductions, Paldino Music for the handsome release, and to Paul Conway for such a glowing write up.

A fabulous night with incredible music making. A joy to hear everything (my first live Rituel too). Bertrand Chamayou was the superb soloist, and Mark Wigglesworth commanded a fantastic orchestra and was thrilled to hear my orchs. of Sites auriculaires. Broadcast 11 March

I’ve seen it emptier, but probably the earliest I’ve seen anyone tinkling the ivories. Rather sappy pop songs but you have to admire his energy first thing in the morning… In any case, off to hear the premiere of my Ravel orch. with Mark Wigglesworth and the BBC Philharmonic!
