Paul Dukas: Symphony In C Major/Polyeucte Overture

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Dukas and Debussy were exact contemporaries, but Dukas's music tends to follow the 19th-century strain of French Romanticism in the grand manner of Berlioz. (Tchaikovsky is also a heavy influence.) The works on this disc are Dukas's very first mature compositions for orchestra. The Symphony in C Major (1902) is in a peculiar 9/8 time signature, but has a quite lucid theme and subtheme interplay. It's not as showy as The Sorcerer's Apprentice, but it ranks alongside the symphonies of Camille Saint-Saëns. The overture to Polyeucte has more Wagnerian influences, but is still well worth our attention. --Paul Cook
