Paul Dukas (1865-1935) (France) Symphonie en ut majeur (1896) 1/3 **MUST HEAR** Dir : Armin Jordan 1- Allegro non troppo vivace, ma con fuoco (14.52) Après avoir été un élève médiocre au Conservatoire, Paul Dukas écrivit le plus célèbre (et l'un des meilleurs) poème symphonique français : « L'Apprenti Sorcier » (1897). Parce qu'il n'avait pas obtenu le Grand Prix de Rome à cause de Charles Gounod, il devint le protégé de Camille Saint-Saëns, ce qui le dédommagea. Dans son Histoire de la musique, Emile Vuillermoz écrit : « musicien d'élite, qui, dans notre époque friande de querelles esthétiques, de...

Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major is one of the composer's most popular works. It was written in 1874 and revised several times through 1888. It was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. It was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna with great success. The symphony's nickname of Romantic was used by the composer himself. It does not refer to the modern conception of romantic love but rather the medieval romance as depicted in the operas Lohengrin and Siegfried of Richard Wagner. The symphony has four movements: I. Bewegt, nicht zu schnell (0:09) II. Andante, quasi...

Donald Johanos and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Bill Sullivan 3 weeks ago (edited) The Bizet Symphony in C has a very interesting history. It was written in 1855, but not played until 1937. Bizet composed the symphony as a student work while he was at the Conservatoire de Paris. He studied under Charles Gounod. Gounod had composed his Symphony in D. Bizet's Symphony in C has many elements that are are taken directly from the Gounod composition. If you listen to both works you will hear the shared elements. Apparently, Bizet never thought his composition would be played in concert....

The twelve Spanish Dances, Op.37, were composed in 1890, and initially published in four sets of three dances each. These early works, inspired by the Spanish national school of Felipe Pedrell, were one of Granados' first successes as a composer, and have become one of his most popular piano works, second only to the masterly Goyescas. The 12 Spanish Dances have been transcribed for guitar as well as for orchestra, and are more often heard on the guitar than on the piano, especially the famous 5th dance, Andaluza (sometimes named Playera), which is one of the most performed Spanish classical...
