Saint-Saens / Malmo Symphony Orchestra / Soustrot - Complete Symphonies (3pk) [CD]

Genre: Classical · Label: Naxos · Format: CD · Edition year: 2021 <p>Saint-Saens wrote five symphonies between the years 1850 and 1886. The cycle began with the Mozart-influenced Symphony in A but as a precocious composer of 17 he wrote his first numbered symphony, a work much admired by Berlioz and Gounod. He progressed to his most popular piece in the genre, the ground-breaking Symphony No. 3 with it's inclusion of organ and piano. This critically admired cycle includes a sequence of atmospheric and dramatic symphonic poems, including Phaeton and the ever-popular Danse macabre.</p> <div data-bt-autogen> <p><strong>Tracklist:</strong></p> <ol> <li>*Symphony No. 1 in E-Flat Major, Op. 2</li> <li>I.
