http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3536&rws=%2Fcamille-saint-saens%2Fdiscography.rssSaint-Saens is one of the most famous composers France has produced. A successful and widely renowned child prodigy, he was a master of form possessed of an acute intelligence. Many of his works stand out for their lush instrumentation, strong melodies and sweeping, grand musical statements. "Bacchanale" from the opera <I>Samson et Dalila</I>, is an exotic, at times steamily erotic, evocation of this Biblical saga (imagine Ravel's <I>Bolero</I> with the volume turned up to eleven). His <I>Carnival of the Animals</I> is even more delightful: fourteen sonic "portraits" of all manner of beasts, including the majestic lion, the awkward and comical hen, and the slow, sad, yet noble tortoise. Saint-Saens masterfully used the orchestra, piano and organ to make exuberant and colorful music, leaving vivid impressions upon the minds of his listeners. - Will LernerRomanticen720Thu, 7 Jan 2010 05:33:51 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3536&rws=%2Fcamille-saint-saens%2Fdiscography.rss Saint-Saens is one of the most famous composers France has produced.
