Paul Dukas (October 1, 1865 – May 17, 1935)
French composer of classical music
Dukas destroyed many of his pieces out of dissatisfaction with them, and only a few remain. His first surviving work of note is the energetic Symphony (1896) which belongs to the tradition of Beethoven and César Franck. It was L'apprenti sorcier, better known under its English title The Sorcerer's Apprentice (1897). This piece was used in the Walt Disney film Fantasia, which accounts for much of its fame. Dukas's rhythmic mastery and vivid orchestration are evident in both works. (source Wikipedia.org)List all tracks by this composer |
