Saint-Saens Performer and Specialist
A Saint-Saens performer must successfully deliver the composer’s ideas to the audience. Saint-Saens', a virtuoso pianist who stands in music history in a category of his own, with his own style with exotic scales, poly-tones, large unresolved chords, & ambiguous tonality known eponymously as "Saint-Saens". A performer of his works should be a born virtuoso with a brave, interpretive heart who is not afraid to express himself or herself to the fullest during that special moment on the stage.
