Camille Saint-Saens

Saint-Saens: Ascanio - Ballet

£11.99

Released: 22nd November 2019. Saint-Saens' operatic works contain instrumental music of vivacity and charm but have been undeservedly overlooked. 'Ascanio' contains a substantial and elaborate divertissement that fellow composer Reynaldo Hahn termed 'the entire Renaissance in a few pages'. 'Les Barbares', a tale of conquest and revenge, includes a vivid prologue and joyful ballet, while 'La Princesse jaune' with its pentatonic writing, and 'La Jota aragonese' laced with Spanish vitality, show the composer at his most generously carefree.
