"On this finely engineered ECM disc, Robert Levin's performance is all the more impressive for the unbridled energy and clarity with which it puts the music's distinctive argumentative character across." Gramophone Magazine, August 2010
"[Dutilleux] clearly suits [Levin], as the performances are wonderful. The later works are marvels of sheer sound, sometimes stark and bell-like, sometimes shimmering." The Telegraph, 1st June 2010 ****

The first-ever release on ECM of music by the doyen of French contemporary composition Henri Dutilleux (born 1916) features a comprehensive overview of his highly original piano pieces from his early period (around 1948) to the late eighties. They are played by American pianist Robert Levin, a personal friend of Dutilleux's, who gives performances of gripping energy and serene clarity.
