Camille Saint-Saens

“In this work I gave everything I had to give. […] What I did here I will never do again”. Camille Saint-Saëns was justifiably proud of his Symphony No.3 in C minor Op.78 dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt. Like Beethoven’s Ninth this so-called “Organ Symphony” was commissioned by the Philharmonic Society in London where it received its premiere on 19 May 1886. In this first scholarly-critical edition of the symphony a great many inconsistencies and mistakes inherent in the previously used edition have been unveiled and corrected. The edition of Symphony No.3 marksthe launch of a large-scale project: the publication of Camille Saint-Saëns - Complete Edition of the Instrumental Works. This performing Urtext edition is based on volume BA 10303 from that series. First scholarly-critical edition of this famous symphony based on Camille Saint-Saëns – Complete Edition of the Instrumental Works Now with separate parts for all winds Orchestral parts in a large format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm)

in Full Score. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Considered throughout much of his career as the preeminent French composer, Camille Saint-Saëns wrote music that embodies a characteristic French concern for clarity and order, together with his own assured mastery of the composer's craft. These qualities are evident in Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3, widely regarded as the composer's major orchestral work, and one of the very few to incorporated the organ as a featured instrument. Saint-Saëns wrote this symphony during the period of his greatest creativity — in the 1870s and '80s — at which time he also produced such important works as the opera Samson et Dalila, Le Carnaval des animaux, the Piano Concerto No. 4, and the Violin Concerto No. 3. Deeply moving and majestic, the 'Organ' Symphony bears all the hallmarks of Saint-Saëns' fluent mastery of orchestral composition. It is reprinted here form an authoritative full-score edition published by Durand et Schoenewerk, Paris. Reprint of the Durand et Schoenewerk, Paris, edition. Widely regarded as the composer's major orchestral work, and one of the few to incorporate the organ as a featured instrument./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Zoologic fantasy-This work is among today's most popular works by Saint-Saëns who at first did not even want to publish it as he feared for his reputation. In this work Saint-Saëns parodies his colleagues Offenbach (turtle) and Berlioz (elephant) among others.

Conducteur Avec Couverture Rigide. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. With his four works 'Le Rouet d'Omphale”, 'Phaéton”, 'Danse macabre” and 'La Jeunesse d'Hercule”, composed between 1872 and 1877, Camille Saint-Saëns decidedly put himself in the tradition of Hector Berlioz, who heralded a new epoch with his 'Symphonie fantastique” premiered in France 1830, as well as the symphonic poems by Franz Liszt, who established the term for this genre in Germany. During Saint-Saëns' lifetime the four 'Poèmes symphoniques” had become part of the repertoire all around the globe. They were recorded numerously - but the piece to hold its ground in the concert halls until today is 'Danse macabre” alone. The critical first editions which are currently issued as part of the 'oeuvres complètes instrumentals” afford the opportunity for new interpretations based upon reliable sources. / Date parution : 2019-09-06/ Répertoire / Orchestre
