On October, 1835
French composer, organist, conductor and pianist of the Romantic era
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns
was born
His best-known works include Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863), the Second Piano Concerto (1868), the First Cello Concerto (1872), Danse macabre (1874), the opera Samson and Delilah (1877), the Third Violin Concerto (1880), the Third (“Organ”) Symphony (1886) and The Carnival of the Animals (1886).
The Carnival of the Animals was one of my favorites as a child [still is], however I have chosen his Organ symphony for which he said:
❝ I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again.❞

Beautiful. I’m not a huge fan of the big organ music so this was perfect.
Don’t tell Oannes this [He adores organ!] 😉

That was epic!
I enjoyed every minute of it. I was baking pies while listening.
To me this is the epicentre of classic music.
Of course I know more now, having listened to what Oannes and you post.
Sending love, hugs and kisses all around!

Such wonderful music
Isn’t it?! I love this recording too…
Looking at concert programs from sixty or so years ago, one notices how much he’s fallen from the active repertoire. Ravel, on the other hand, seems to have ascended.
It’s funny isn’t it, even classical composers follow popularity ‘waves’… only to those who follow them though, so that’s okay. We can enjoy ‘our’ Camille (or whoever else), whenever we want! 😉
