¡Saint-Saens: Piano Concerto No. 4 & 5
¡Romain Descharmes (piano), Marc Soustrot (conductor), Malmo Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Of the five piano concertos composed by Saint-Saens, No. 5 is the most popular, thanks to its "Egyptian" title, while No. 4, which boasts an equally high degree of perfection, is rarely heard. However, this work, composed in 1875, is a landmark in that it is not in the traditional three-movement form, but in two movements, and the entire work is in a cyclic form. No. 5 "Egyptian Style" is the last piano concerto, and is an exotic masterpiece that reflects the atmosphere of Egypt, which Saint-Saens loved. The colorful tone of the piece, in which the croaking of frogs and the egyns of ships crossing the sea can be heard, is well loved.
