Now in his mid-forties, Pascal Dusapin is one of the most distinguished composers of his generation.
Dusapin’s cello concerto is in three movements of fairly equal length.
These beautiful scores amply demonstrate that Dusapin is first and foremost a lyricist and that his music strongly communicates by the sheer force of its utter sincerity and honesty, no matter how technically complex or demanding it may be.

But Dusapin had little interest in pursuing the musical establishment’s expected pattern of conservatory study; instead, he worked on his scores largely as an autodidact while studying fine art and aesthetics at the Sorbonne.
Dusapin’s works dip widely into world literature, with a penchant for classical sources (for example, his oratorio Niobé) as well as the avant-garde playwright Heiner Müller (source of the opera Medeamaterial).
Dusapin tinkers wildly with color and temperature, from large climaxes anchored by highly aggressive trombones against trumpets and fulminant percussion to icy clusters in the stratosphere.

 Dusapin Requiem(s) : Classical CD Reviews- November 2000 Music on the Web(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Pascal Dusapin, the most important French composer of the generations younger than Boulez or Barraqué, undoubtedly belongs to this category.
Though himself once a jazz pianist, Dusapin steadfastly refused to write for the piano until 1997, when he composed an important piano trio, and the important recent set of piano études, which take their place alongside the études of Debussy, Bartók and Ligeti as amongst the most significant works within the genre.
Dusapin's musical aesthetic stands apart from the negations of Helmut Lachenmann, Aldo Clementi, Sciarrino and others, or from the fragmented post-romanticism of Wolfgang Rihm, but that is in no sense to imply that the result is any less 'critical'.

 Festium - Artist's Management
The opera is based on the text by Heiner Müller and with Pascal Dusapin’s consent TandM has chosen to retitle the work Medea, so as to give the role of Medea, one of the strongest to have appeared in opera in recent years, its true dimension.
For Pascal Dusapin, Medea is a body tormented by inner convulsions that manifest themselves in dense, sporadic outbursts, taken up and echoed by the chorus.
After Dusapin’s Medea she can be heard in the world-premiere of Liza Lim’s work Mother Tongue with L’Ensemble intercontemporain and conductor Jonathan Nott in Paris.

The typically avant-garde titles of the works, along with Dusapin's micro-tonal investigations and links to Xenakis and to IRCAM, hardly prepare you for the expressiveness, lyricism, and even the sybaritic aural pleasures offered by this disc.
All of the works are played with a sense of occasion and with a firm grip on Dusapin's highly individual style by Pascal Rophé and his Montpelier Orchestra.

Five years ago I used some of this space to exult over my discovery of the French composer Pascal Dusapin at his first appearance on disc — a pseudo-operatic gloss on the Medea legend in a Harmonia Mundi release conducted by Philippe Herreweghe.
It was composed for and sung here by the 32-member French chorus called Accentus, founded in 1991 and led by Laurence Equilbey, another of those courageous ensembles that take on the most daunting demands today’s composers can dream up.
In Dusapin’s case, those demands include an intricate interplay of several levels of pianississimo and a willingness to deal with microtones, polyrhythms, the works.
