Of the 25 mélodies with orchestra listed in the catalogue of Saint-Saëns, 19 are presented on this album, all recorded for the first time. Although the turn of the 20th century marked the golden age of French song, the genre was generally accompanied on the piano and only rarely orchestrated by its composers. But Saint-Saëns, a great lover of poetry, was also a champion of the orchestrated mélodie and the French colouristic style. Exoticism and a certain sense of the supernatural run through some of these songs, in particular the Danse macabre, one of the most popular classical pieces but always heard nowadays either in its version for orchestra alone or performed by a singer with piano accompaniment. The superb interpreters and musicians featured here enable the rediscovery of an entire segment of the history of vocal music.
