Congratulations, Seattle Symphony! Another Grammy! The 2016 Grammy award for best classical instrumental solo went to violinist Augustin Hadelich, for Dutilleux: Violin Concerto, L’Arbre Des Songes, with the Seattle Symphony conducted by Ludovic Morlot, a release on the orchestra’s own label.
Seattle Symphony earned its first Grammy last year — Best Contemporary Classical Composition — for its recording of John Luther Adams’s Become Ocean, a work SSO commissioned.
Is it any surprise that an orchestra based in the nature-conscious Pacific Northwest would produce award winners about oceans and trees? The title of the Dutilleux concerto translates as The Tree of Dreams.
