A collection of unrivalled completeness, Tout Satie proves that the music of Erik Satie (1866-1925) remains as provocative, delightful – and surprising – as ever. These 10 CDs, featuring artists with impeccable credentials in French repertoire, draw together his works for piano, orchestra, chamber ensemble and voice. They constantly remind us that Satie was not just a maverick or an eccentric: he was a true original.

Henri Dutilleux, born in 1916, is a 96 years old young man who has made his own way in the jungle of the musical world of the second half of the 20th Century, ignoring the trends, continuing in his own perspective the path of French modern music opened by Debussy and Ravel. This 5-CD collection is a wonderful panorama, ideal to discover and love this music, featuring for the first time on CD a wonderful performance of the 1st Symphony by the Orchestre National de Lille and Jean-Claude Casadesus as well as the original recording of Le Loup, one of the most important ballets written after 1945, both recorded in the presence of the composer.

Assembled to mark the centenary of Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013), this collection of recordings, produced over a period of nearly 60 years, is unrivalled in its scope. Equally remarkable is its array of performers; among them are such dedicatees of the composer’s works as Mstislav Rostropovich, Renée Fleming, Seiji Ozawa and Paul Sacher. Quintessentially French, Dutilleux captured the imagination of audiences around the world with his iridescent, yet formally coherent scores, which engender narratives filled with memories and mystery.
