A dramatised exploration of a strange village in Crete

Piano Sonata in E flat minor played by Kathleen Long
Paul Dukas (1865-1935), whose best-known woik is L'Apprenti Sorcier, occupied a leading position in the musical life of France. A fastidious craftsman, he withheld from publication and even destroyed a number of works that failed to satis'y turn. His Piano Sonata, when it first appeared in 1901, was described as a landmark in the history of French music. The influence of Cesar Franck is felt to some extent, particularly in the last of the four movements; but the sonata as a whole is an original and powerful composition, brilliantly written for the piano.
