Saint-Saëns’s first published works for piano were these vivid and characterful Six Bagatelles, Op. 3.
Album, Op. 72 dates from Saint-Saëns’s mid-career and teems with rich colours and textures – haunting and exciting alike.
Also includes the richly evocative tone poem Rhapsodie d’Auvergne.
Saint-Saëns was a piano prodigy, eulogised by Liszt amongst many others.
Saint-Saëns’s facility to evoke scenes, personalities and colours was profound along with his ingenious use of baroque and classical forms.
