¡Saint-Saens: Orchestral Works
¡Jun Markl (conductor), Basque National Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Saint-Saens loved to travel. He was especially fond of North Africa, and wrote many works based on the inspiration he found there. The exotic "Algerian Suite" is one such work, a fast-paced descriptive work featuring dances and scenes from the cities he saw during his voyages. The Suite in D major was originally composed for harmonium and later arranged for orchestra. Suite in D minor" is a work for cello, but its structure differs from that of the piano version, with the third piece incorporating a scherzo for piano and a gavotte for orchestra. The Spanish-born cellist Pastrana gives an exquisite performance as soloist.
