Lumos! Casting light on Paul Dukas

François-Xavier Roth explains why he's championing the music of under-celebrated French composer Paul Dukas
The idea of this programme is to focus on the work of a composer who is very famous and yet at the same time unknown. Dukas is such an important figure in music history – not just in France, but around the world. Unfortunately, he didn’t write very much, but what he did compose is brilliant, and influenced many other composers – Messiaen and Dutilleux, for example.
