Complete Concertos (New Talents Edition #3)

Description

The rediscovered concertante art of Saint-Saëns - Third album of the "Complete Concertos" seriesWith this third album of the "New Talents" collection dedicated to the complete concertos of the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, a fascinating new chapter of musical discovery begins. Building on the success of the first two albums, the Orpheum Foundation continues its ambitious project: the complete edition of all of Saint-Saëns' concertante works - an undertaking that sheds new light on the diversity and inventiveness of this composer.Saint-Saëns' concertante pieces are much more than mere displays of virtuosity. They are elegant, melodious, and original works that highlight the soloists without reducing them to gratuitous virtuosity. Saint-Saëns brilliantly succeeds in breaking with tradition and creating new musical dialogues between soloist and orchestra.This CD series, made possible by the Swiss Orpheum Foundation and the Eppur si muove Foundation, brings together young internationally renowned soloists with the famous Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (ORF) and the experienced conductor Howard Griffiths - a musical alliance that has been synonymous with inspiring collaboration and very high quality for years.
