He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which are featured in this collection. Contents include the famous orchestral interlude The Flight of the Bumblebee as well as the suite from The Tale of Tsar Saltan.

Dover reprint of 1875 and 1888 Durand (Paris) editions. Two of Saint-Saens' most popular works appear in this affordable volume. First composed in song form, Danse Macabre was later rewritten as a symphonic poem. Audiences at its 1875 debut were resistant to its unconventional charms, but it eventually became a tremendous crowd pleaser. Havanaise is among the most challenging violin and orchestra pieces and a standard showpiece in the repertoire of every serious violinist. Based on the Cuban danc...
Romantic. For violin & orchestra. The Havanaise possibly has its roots in the friendship of the composer with the Cuban-born violinist Rafael Diaz Albertini. It is thus perfectly plausible that Saint-Sa‰ns borrowed the Cuban syncopated slow dance Habanera out of kindness towards his performance partner when he was getting ready to write a work for Diaz Albertini in 1887. Saint-Sa‰ns originally wrote a version for violin and piano, which was later followed by the orchestral version that the publis...
For narrator, oboe, violin, viola, cello & piano. With much enthusiasm, Schickele accepted a suggestion from the quintet An Die Musik to adapt the classic The Emperor's New Clothes as a performance piece for their Timeless Tales series. Each character inthe story is identified by a theme, and the mixture of characters leads to the corresponding mixture of themes - "everything from minimalist classical sounds to boogie-woogie piano."

Schubert's last great mass, whose first performance in October 1829 he no longer lived to experience. "Striving for the highest in art" - this is how Schubert announced his A-flat major Mass to the Schott publishing house in 1828. The statement can also be seen as an artistic credo applicable to his last great mass, which the composer wrote that same year but whose first performance in October 1829 he no longer lived to experience. Since a source-critical new edition of the E-flat major Mass is ...

Romantic. The quartet in A minor is one of the chamber music works with which Schubert wanted to "pave the way to the great symphony" in spring 1824. At the same time he was paving his way to a wider audience, as the "Rosamunde" quartet was the first andonly string quartet that was not only publicly performed in Schubert's lifetime but also published in parts. It is fortunate for us that this was the case because the autograph of this much-loved quartet is missing today and the only source for th...
