- Lyrical, colourful, with great rhythmical life, Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon's music inherits the transparence of the French and the structural strengh of the German, plus a touch of today's sounds, to obtain a very individual and immediately communicative music.

- often praised for his colourful orchestration, he tries to apply to music different forms & techniques found in art & literature, also cinema and video (flash back, zoom, negative, superimpositions...).


"The son of Ravel and Prokofiev" Jacques Doucelin, Le Figaro


"This score grows audibly out of the brightly colored orchestral traditions of Debussy and Ravel, with updated influences from some newer French composers. This unashamedly sensuous music, often delicately textured and tinted (...) Scott Cantrel, Dallas Morning News

"Composer and concert performer Richard Dubugnon's work is spiky, stylish and short. Everything Dubugnon writes is well put together, deliberate and shapely, instrumentally adventurous without resorting to experimental cliches, and infused with rapturous emotion." Mark Lehman, American Record Guide
