Where #Dutilleux lived, on Île Saint-Louis. I saw him wear his Légion d’Honneur rosette only once and was impudent enough to ask him why 1/2
#Dutilleux told me that his memories of the Enfants d'Izieu deportation on 6 April 1944 inspired his Shadows of Time, especially the 3rd movement (Mémoire des ombres): www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_dw...
Sea urchins (oursins): #Dutilleux introduced me to this delicacy at the Dôme in Paris, and I'm reading about Ravel's excessive consumption of them in Marseille - Madeleine Grey writes that he had an outbreak of hives as a result

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
On a bus going past the Lanesborough Hotel, where I once had dinner with Henri #Dutilleux. There was awful background music playing, Dutilleux wondered why it was in C sharp major; I suggested the recording was playing at the wrong speed
