Essential Saint-Saëns is a recording made at the Auditorio de la Diputación de Alicante on 30 October 2020, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Camille Saint-Saëns. It reviews some of the most significant pieces by the French composer, one of the most interesting and controversial personalities of his time. A virtuoso pianist and prolific composer, he was also a scholar of astronomy, mathematics and philosophy. A writer, caricaturist and tireless traveller, he is recognised as an essential link in the renewal that resulted in the music of Debussy and Ravel.
