Description:

The "Classical Masters" series. This album of Saint-Saëns' music, which is important for its balance of intellectuality and playfulness, is conducted by André Previn and pianist Jean-Philippe Collard, and brings to life the mature culture of the composer's era with a whiff of sophistication. The refined conducting and the intellectually stimulating piano of Collard create a thrilling and stylish world.
