Composers
Dukas, Paul (1865-1935)

For the 150th anniversary of Paul Dukas, Herve Billaut's new CD focusses on his piano music. Out of the 14 works composed by Paul Dukas (only 14!), 6 were written for the piano. The two most substantial works are the Sonata of 1899-1900, and 'Variations, interlude et finale sur un thème de Rameau', which are masterpieces. Billaut completes his recording with the 'Prélude élégiaque sur le nom de Haydn': a moment of meditation. Worth seeking out if your only encounter with this great composer has been the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice'; worth seeking out anyway. Robert Maycock, from BBC Music Magazine.
