Word comes from Paris that French composer Henri Dutilleux has died at the age of 97.

Obituaries below from some diverse sources:

• Schott Music has a very detailed one HERE
• Tom Service in The Guardian writes a short obit HERE which links to a much longer article he wrote this past January about the composer’s music
• For all of you Francophones, Le Monde has published its own obituary (en français, bien sûr) HERE, complete with a video
