Camille Saint-Saens

  • #ClassicsaDay #FunintheSun Week 2

    Aug 12th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves

    We couldn’t let the season go by without having some kind of summer-related theme. The Classics a Day team chose to catch some rays this August. And to find out how many classical composers did so with their music. Of course, any summer-related topic is fair game, too. Here are my posts for the second […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #PrideMonth Week 5

    Jul 1st, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #PrideMonth, Camille Saint-Saens, Classical music, Lou Harrison, Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Twitter

    For the month of June, Classics a Day celebrates Pride Month. And the challenge is to post works from classical composers who self-identified as other than heteronormative. There are a lot of composers to choose from — and not just in the modern era. This was a challenge that deepened my knowledge of classical music. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Stokowski Week 2

    Apr 16th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Stokowski, Camille Saint-Saens, Classical music, George Frideric Handel, Leopold Stokowski, Twitter

    For April, 2021, the Classics a Day Team celebrates a legend — Leopold Stokowski. He was born in April (1882), and became a cultural icon. His recording legacy spans over 60 years. And whether he was conducting a premier orchestra or a group of studio musicians, the sound was unmistakable. To share all of Stokowski’s […]

  • Horszowksi Trio lives up to its namesake

    Jan 7th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, Camille Saint-Saens, CD Review, Chamber music, Gabriel Fauré, Horszowski Trio, Romantic period, Vincent d'Indy

    I first became aware of the Horszowksi Trio through their performances on Dan Visconti’s “Lonesome Roads” release. There they played Visconti’s music with steely precision and a sense of urgency. This release shows the trio in a different light. Their namesake, pianist Mieczyslaw Horszowksi had first-hand experience with the composers on this album. As a […]

  • Moments of Love – Labelle and Wyner show real chemistry

    Apr 22nd, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: art song, Benjamin Britten, Camille Saint-Saens, CD Review, Dominique Labell, Maurice Ravel, Renaldo Hahn, Yehudi Wyner

    Dominique Labelle and Yehudi Wyner have put together an engaging program with “Moments of Love.” Labelle’s voice has a warm lower register and a very clean upper register that she uses to great effect in this musical examination of love’s multiplicity. There’s a real chemistry between singer and accompanist that makes the listening experience even […]

  • “French Impressions” Impresses

    Jan 18th, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Camille Saint-Saens, CD Review, Cesar Franck, Chamber music, Jeremy Denk, Joshua Bell, Maurice Ravel, Sony Classics

    Good chamber music is a conversation – and French Impressions is just that. A conversation between two old friends enjoying themselves. It’s no accident that both violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk get equal billing. In the three works presented both artists contribute equally to the performance. The album beings with Camille Saint-Saens’ Sonata […]
