Camille Saint-Saëns on music and musicians

by Camille Saint-Saens

Camille Saint-Saëns is a memorable figure not only for his successes as a composer of choral and orchestral works, and the eternally popular opera 'Samson et Dalila', but also because he was a keen observer of the musical culture in which he lived. This text brings some of his writings to life in English translation.
