¡Saint-Saens: Symphonic Poems
¡Jun Marki (conductor), Lille National Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] The genre of symphonic poetry is said to have been initiated by Liszt, but in the French musical tradition, some of Berlioz's works should also be called ( symphonic poems ). Of his four symphonic poems, the best known is The Dance of Death, inspired by a poem by the poet Henri Cazalis. The most well-known of his four symphonic poems is The Dance of Death, inspired by the poem by Henri Cazalis, in which the music depicts skeletons dancing eerily in the dead of night. Phaethon" and "The Youth of Hercules" are based on Greek mythology, which the composer himself describes as expressing "pride" and "the vexations of heroism and pleasure," respectively. The first piece, "Onfar's Spinning Wheel," is strongly influenced by Liszt. It is also based on Greek mythology and was a favorite of Saint-Saens, who later made a solo piano version. Each piece is exquisitely orchestrated, and is beautifully performed by Quasi-Merkle.
