Reviews:

"The only (slight!) regret I have regarding this lovely 6-CD box set is that, while all of Saint-Saëns's Symphonies, Piano Concerti and Violin Concerti, as well as the other concerted works for Piano and Orchestra, and for Violin and Orchestra (as well as a work for Violin, Cello and Orchestra) are included, his two Cello Concerti are not. Small regrets, though, indeed, as the forces here (Conductor Jean Martinon and the Orchestre National de l'O.R.T.F.; Violin soloist Ulf Hoelscher, Cello soloist Ralph Kirschbaum, Conductor Pierre Dervaux and the New Philharmonia Orchestra; Piano soloist Gabriel Tacchino, Conductor Louis de Froment and the Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg) give such superb renditions of these 23 works each and every listener will not only treasure this set as a valuable collector's item but will want to definitely search out for even more works of this composer.

In addition to the very popular works such as the 'Organ' Symphony, the Third Violin Concerto, the Havanaise and the Introduction and Rondo capriccioso, both for Violin and Orchestra, and the Second Piano Concerto, there are the comparatively more rarely-heard works such as the First and Second (numbered) Symphonies, not to mention the early Symphony in A (which begins, in case it just happens to sound familiar but you can't quite place it, with a direct quote of the main motto of the finale of Mozart's 'Jupiter' Symphony, #41 in C) and the Symphony in F ('Urbs Roma' which, like the Symphony in A, was not counted by Saint-Saëns among his 'canon' of 3); the First and Second Violin Concerti, both overshadowed by his last one; the Romances in D Flat and in C for Violin and Orchestra (the D Flat one adapted by Saint-Saëns from a piece for Violin and Piano or Orchestra); a Morceau de concert for Violin and Orchestra; a Caprice andalou for Violin and Orchestra, showing this very French composer's love for things Spanish; a small 'double concerto' in all but name, La Muse et le poète, for Violin, Cello and Orchestra; the Prélude to the oratorio Le Déluge (who performs, much less records, that choral work of Saint-Saens, these days?); the Fantasy, 'Africa' for Piano and Orchestra; and the 'other' Piano Concerti, namely the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth, all as beautiful in their own ways as the ever-popular Second. The last Piano Concerto has long been known as the 'Egyptian' not least because Saint-Saëns wrote at least part of it while staying at Luxor, and its Andante exudes an otherworldly sensuality that is unforgettable, in particular a couple of piano passages which will make you wonder how on Earth Saint-Saëns ever obtained the sonorities.

There is also a 'Valse-Caprice' based on one of Saint-Saëns's piano pieces in the form of a waltz, here arranged for Violin and Orchestra by composer Eugène Ysaÿe. Short but as charming as any of Saint-Saëns's works."

From a customer review on Amazon



"Camille has to be one of the Great French Composers of the last century and from what I've read, he admired Mozart. With that admiration, Camille's composition style is definitely Romantic Period, but with lively melodies reminiscent of Mendelssohn and Mozart. He is completely underrated and underplayed. I find him very excellent and maybe some of the best music in the Romantic Period. Everything here is so well written. From the Symphonies, Violin Concertos, to the Piano Concertos it's 'Over The Top'. If you ask me, that is the way everything in the Romantic period should be written. I especially love the Violin Concertos and other pieces. They are Bombastic! They are filled with Drama and Raw Power! They sound much better dialed way-up and the ending of the 1st movement of the 2nd VC is possibly the best I've ever heard. Once you listen to this Box-Set you will understand."
