The Sorcerer's Apprentice (French: L'apprenti sorcier) is a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, written in 1896–97. Subtitled "Scherzo after a ballad by Goethe", the piece was based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1797 poem of the same name. By far the most performed and recorded of Dukas's works, its notable appearance in the Walt Disney 1940 animated film Fantasia has led to the piece becoming widely known to audiences outside the classical concert hall.

Paul Dukas's sumptuous The Sorcerer's Apprentice, an orchestral scherzo after a ballade of the same title by Goethe. Leonard Bernstein conducts the New York Philharmonic. My favourite recording of the work. Believe it or not, this piece is quite new to me. I was familiar with Dukas thanks to his epic Piano Sonata in E-flat minor, and even uploaded a live recording of it by Marc-André Hamelin with score scrolling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7bsYYAdGBk&feature=related). Although that piece remains largely underrated and rarely played, this orchestral one is Dukas's only work to be in the constant reperoire and to have become a genuine audience favourite. But interestingly enough, it had escaped my notice and actually it wasn't until ca. a week ago that a teacher of mine pointed out that "Der Zauberlehrling" is not only the title of a Ligeti Etude, but also of a - much more accessible and famous - orchestral piece!
Paul Dukas (1865-1935), french composer and symphonist, known as "the french Richar Strauss", composed this symphonic ballad after Goethe in 1897, and immediatly became Dukas most-known piece, despite a splendid piano sonata. Michel Plasson conducting the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse.
