Saint-Saëns - Piano Concertos Nos.1 & 2

Catalog Number: BIS1040

This album presents Camille Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 and the Suite in D major, performed by Noriko Ogawa with the Tapiola Sinfonietta under Jean-Jacques Kantorow. From the youthful brilliance of the First Concerto to the fiery virtuosity of the famous Second, these works showcase Saint-Saëns’ classical clarity, Romantic passion, and elegant wit. The Suite in D, originally written for harmonium and later orchestrated, adds a charming nod to the French Baroque tradition.
