Did you have a bad day? Yet, if you're healthy. That's most important. Enjoy a glass of wine or maybe single malt scotch. And enjoy this beautiful music. A good book might also help. Tomorrow will be better.
Once again, you introduce me to music I am not familiar with. Simply beautiful & inspirational. I have always loved the combination of Oboe & Piano. Perfect for a quiet evening at home on your own.
Je ne peux m'empêcher de pleurer en entendant un hautbois avec une aussi jolie sonorité ! J'ai joué par le passé pas mal d'oeuvres pour hautbois mais je ne connaissais pas ces transcriptions , particulièrement adaptées aux couleurs de cet instrument qui me touche en plein coeur 😢.... Merci beaucoup pour ce partage 🤗 💚💜💚
A winner once again BC. Had never heard any of these before and the soloists were wonderful. I really delight in Saint-Saens' music. Bart Schneemann's transcription idea was inspired. I'd guess they could be tenor voice songs, but they would be very demanding. I think Sol G. could also play these on the 'cello, with Cho SJ accompanying. Thank you very much for this recording. The cheeky little sonata was gorgeous.

I remember finding this on CD shortly after it was released, in 1998, and it was a pleasant surprise. 11:54 (Aimons-nous) seemed a highlight, but I actually like the opener best now. Apart from many songs, Saint Saens wrote a lot of choral music. I'm not such a fan of either chanson/leider or choral works, but if each was transcribed to non-vocal instruments, there would be a lot more instrumental music of Saint Saens to enjoy. Somewhere I have a list of dates when each of these songs was first published. The first (rising of the moon) was 1853 and Aimons-nous was 1890. I can't remember others right now but I'm pretty sure the selection on this record are virtually all between those two dates (many are from the 1850s/60s; a few from the early 1870s; not sure if any were from the 1880s in this selection). Saint Saens was still writing songs in 1920/1.
Back in the 90s in NYC, I could spend an entire Saturday or Sunday in the Tower Records near Lincoln Center or Virgin Megastore listening to Classical and other genres of music. I have a faint memory of maybe hearing something like that Aimons-nous you mentioned. Nice memories rushing back.
Thanks for these lovely transcriptions. Have you ever thought about transposing them for other instruments? I'd love to play these on soprano or alto saxophone.
Well good evening BC! I typed Saint Saens and little did I know that I would find these precious soothing transcriptions! Congratulations to Bart Schneemann and Paolo Giacometti. I’ll probably be back for more. 😘
The piano-oboe combo is something absolutely divine that I didn't know before. Thank you for the album. 1(Le lever de la lune), 4(La mort d'Orphélie), 5(Aimons-nous), 8(Chanson triste), 11(Extase), 14(La sérénité), 18(Ad libitum) are my personal favorites.
I have often listened to songs and captivated by the music wished if only they would remove the lyrics as pretty as they may have been I glad Bart Schneemann did it with Saint-Saëns’ melodies (songs). This is so beautiful perfect on this cold crisp sunny morning where I am. Thank you so much Brilliant Classics.
Lo peor del caso Loan es el propio niño. Lo han cosificado... no piensan en que es lo que le ha pasado? Lo que puede estar pasando esa criatura? Nada puede cambiar cuando hay tanto egoísmo y parcialidad. Cada uno sólo ve lo suyo. Tristísima y en claro triunfo la sociedad de la crueldad.
i love your comment and let my feelings and imagination take flight as I sit on the front porch of my Colorado cabin listening to this with a nice cup of coffee.
Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Melodien ohne Worte im relativ langsamen Tempo mit mildem Ton der Oboe und klarem Klang des Klaviers. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrhaft eindrucksvoll. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Brilliant Classics is bringing tons of unknown music to the surface.I sometimes wonder how much is still unheard.I guess more than 99%. Unfortunately we don't have that much time to listen.
Incroyable, sur les 34 commentaires pas un seul en français ! C'est dire l'inculture aujourd'hui en France. Il y a 50 ans, alors que j'envoyais un courrier, la dame au guichet m'a dit "de la famille ?" Une simple postière connaissait Saint-Saëns... Merci pour le partage.
