Description
Camille Saint-Saëns was one of the great French composers of the Romantic era, celebrated for his technical brilliance, structural clarity, and remarkable versatility across genres. This CD gathers a compelling selection of his smaller-scale works, offering a more intimate window into his craft than his celebrated symphonies and concertos. Highlights include the Prelude and Fugue, Op. 99, No. 3 in E Flat Major — a work that displays his command of contrapuntal architecture — alongside the lyrical Berceuse in E Major and the grandly sweeping Fantaisie in E Flat Major. Together, these pieces make for a richly rewarding listen that reveals the depth and elegance Saint-Saëns brought even to his shorter compositions…
