About

The piano compositions by Saint-Saëns on this recording premiere are a kaleidoscopic reflection of various epochs and a listening tour through the musical hall of fame with their reminiscences of Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin and Liszt: gripping and fascinating music, full of elegance and sparkling wit. On this CD, Mi-Joo Lee offers a masterful interpretation of these works by a romantic genius.
