Saint-Saëns [2LP]

Lang Lang – Saint-Saëns [2LP]

Lang Lang presents with this album a treasure trove of musical discoveries. Saint-Saëns's Piano Concerto No. 2 was recorded with a stellar cast, the Gewandhausorchester and Andris Nelsons, and is for Lang Lang a true romantic masterpiece that rivals the greats like Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky. The set also includes Le Carnaval Des Animaux (The Carnival of the Animals) with Gina Alice, plus a selection of solo piano encores by Ravel, Debussy, Fauré and Chopin.
