Renaud Capuçon, Bertrand Chamayou – Saint-Saëns: Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor: I. Allegro agitato

Saint-Saëns was a prolific composer, but many of his works remain relatively unknown. Eminent French musicians Renaud Capuçon, Bertrand Chamayou, and Edgar Moreau come together to bring three of his finest chamber works to light. Discover the album: 2021 marks 100 years since the death of this composer, one of the acknowledged masters of French music. Born in Paris in 1835, he lived through a time of momentous change – in musical terms from the era of early Romanticism to the rise of Modernism – traveled widely around the world, and enjoyed a distinguished career as an organist, pianist and, of course, composer. __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: ► YouTube: Listen to us on: ► Spotify: ► Apple Music: ► Deezer Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
