The full orchestral scoring also emphasizes the ceremonial character of this Mass. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB…

This volume of transcriptions holds a few surprises: one encounters plush and pomp, the deeply serious and the glamor ous,…

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. “The Etudes op. 52 and op. 111 are little masterpieces of invention. On every page you encounter ingenious inventions for piano technique and sound.” (Isidore Philipp) What Isidore Philipp described in “Musica” in 1907 is still true today: indeed, the etudes of Saint-Saens offer a panopticon of French piano technique as complex as it is dazzling.
