Henri Dutilleux Wins Ernst von Siemens Prize
French composer Henri Dutilleux has won the prestigious international Ernst von Siemens music prize this year, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation announced today.
Dutilleux, born in Angers in 1916, was one of the "great single individuals in contemporary French music," alongside compatriots and previous prizewinners Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) and Pierre Boulez (born 1925), the prize jury said.
His "organic, filigree" music did not adhere to traditional forms and was characterised by its "poetic clarity". Throughout his career, Dutilleux had consistently steered clear from trends and fashions. posted by Jerry Bowles
