MUSIQUE(S) - IMAGE(S) - Camille Saint-Saëns

Camille Saint-Saëns - The most learned of our pop artists

Exactly one hundred years ago (1921), Camille Saint-Saëns passed away, the most celebrated French composer of his time and the father of French concert music and one of the greatest melodists in history. In 2021, the musical world will pay homage to this universal figure of music through countless concert tributes, culminating in a "Saint-Saëns World Tour" at the Philharmonie de Paris on 15 June, a unique opportunity to rediscover the composer’s symphonic poems conducted by François-Xavier Roth, amongst other concert highlights. In support of these events, the publishers Durand Salabert Eschig have published a synthesised exploration of his work, penned by the great international Saint-Saëns specialist, the Canadian musicologist Sabina Ratner, available here below:
