About this product
Saint-Saens's early unfinished Violin Sonata is testimony to his remarkable precocity as a child. His music's universal appeal is demonstrated in adaptations of his Bach influenced Suite, Op. 16, the gracious Romance, Op. 48 and one of his most famous pieces Le cygne (The Swan). The Second Violin Sonata follows classical forms, while the Meditation is notable for an affecting melody that builds beautifully to an intimate conclusion. Volume 1 can be heard on Naxos 8.572750. Acclaim for Fanny Clamagirand's playing includes her 'brilliant advocacy' of Saint-Saens's three Violin Concertos (Strings Magazine on 8.572037).
