À propos de Camille Saint-Saëns
Camille Saint-Saëns was a French Romantic master and a prodigy who composed with elegance and wit across every genre. His tender cello piece The Swan and the macabre tone poem Danse Macabre remain among the most beloved works in the repertoire. A tireless champion of French music, he helped shape the national tradition that Debussy and Ravel would later transform.
