Cantatas, choirs and symphonic music

Prix de Rome
Considered one of the finest composers of the late French Romantical period, Paul Dukas was also a brilliant orchestrator, known above all for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, one of the most frequently performed works worldwide. But four times, between 1886 and 1889, he failed to win the Prix de Rome competition. He was a severe critic of his own works, many of which he systematically destroyed, but miraculously several ambitious and varied compositions have survived.
