Digital Booklet

"Märkl responds unreservedly, drawing magically delicate colours and rich textural intricacies from what is a profoundly attractive score”
- Gramophone
"Märkl never attempts to overload his reading with pretentiousness.”
- The Guardian
"Märkl has a good feel for and understanding of this familiar music, maintaining a lovely clarity of sound and keeping the music engaging throughout."
- St. Louis Today
Saint-Saëns often visited Northern Africa and found inspiration in the culture and music there which he then used in his larger orchestral works. This albums takes listeners on a cultural journey throughout the sounds of Northern Africa through the compositional structure as well as the thematic material influenced by dance rhythms. Jun Märkl leads the Basque National Orchestra in the reimagining of some of Saint-Saëns’ more well-known works on this album.
