Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921)





Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921)
music was under-appreciated in his lifetime,
many of his organ works remain little known.
not drawn into Romantic movement
adhered to Classical principles (Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn)
unusual performance practice?

Benediction nuptiale (opus 9) [6:36]

Elevation ou Communion (opus 13) [m:ss]

Prelude and Fugue in Eb Major (opus 99 no 3) [2:08+5:00]
