Though most of today’s listeners associate Paul Dukas's The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Disney's Fantasia films, the piece was actually quite popular during Dukas's lifetime as well. Much of the work's expressive power can be attributed to its central theme, which, like the animated broom we all remember, gradually comes alive. Eventually a huge wall of sound is built, recalling Wagner's mighty Ring cycle; the brilliant clarity of the orchestration, with plenty of innovative twists, is just as delightful in the concert hall as it is on the movie screen. The DSO first performed the piece in November 1917, conducted by Victor Kolar. This performance was recorded live in Orchestra Hall March 23, 2024 conducted by Jader Bignamini.
