How to pronounce ‘Métaboles’ properly

[Gargoyle]

I’ve been binging on Dutilleux of late and it’s bugging me that I don’t know how to pronounce Métaboles correctly.

Could someone help me?

Google Translate gives me - meht ar bohl

Thanks!

With no emphasis on any of the vowels?

Exactly… three equal stresses, like a triplet figure in music

But I don’t agree with any sort of ‘r’ sound in the central syllable… it’s “meht - a - boll”

I think it’s AR = AH in English.

Thanks everyone, I feel less stupid and much better now!
