Bertini, Gary Based on the story of Bluebeard, Dukas set a text by the Belgian writer Maurice Maeterlinck and
took seven years to complete the work. It was well received by fellow composers and musicians.
Vincent d’Indy thought it “the most important piece of music drama since Wagner”. This great
recording from 1986 is now available for the first time on CD.
