Album Notes & Community Reviews

This celebrated modern classical release compiles definitive, pristine recordings of Saint-Sa毛ns's most famous programmatic works. The lively, highly characterful orchestral performances brilliantly capture the playful zoological humor of 'The Carnival of the Animals' alongside the thrilling, demonic waltz of 'Danse Macabre'.
