Die franzosische Musik der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stand ganz im Zeichen zweier Pole: Oper und Salon. Die weitgehende Missachtung der Instrumentalmusik tragt die Verantwortung fur das falsche Licht, in dem viele franzosische Meister dieser Zeit immer noch erscheinen. Unter ihnen kommt vor allem Charles-Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) grosste Bedeutung zu, dessen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gattung des Solokonzerts von weit uber die Grenzen Frankreichs hinausreichendem Einfluss war.Diese Arbeit korrigiert das heutige Bild Saint-Saens' in wesentlichen Punkten und macht deutlich, dass sein konzertantes Oeuvre zum Besten gehort, was die franzosische Romantik hervorgebracht hat.Uber den analytischen Teil hinaus, der durch zahlreiche Notenbeispiele erganzt wird, enthalt der Band die erste vollstandige Biographie des Komponisten in deutscher Sprache; ausfuhrliche Biographie, thematisches Verzeichnis der untersuchten Werke und vor allem eine chronologische Tabelle von nahezu 200 franzosischen Solokonzerten der Zeit machen den Band zu einer wertvollen Quelle fur die Musikgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Der Danse Bacchanale aus dem zweiten Bild des dritten Aktes der biblischen Oper Samson und Dalila zählt zu den bekanntesten und populärsten Kompositionen von Camille Saint-Saëns. Den bacchantischen Tanz hat Saint-Saëns in typisch orientalischem Kolorit gehalten: die lyrisch-freie Einleitungsmelodie der Oboe bedient sich mit ihren Halbton- und übermäßigen Sekundschritten morgenländischer Skalen. Die orientalischen Melodien ertönen überwiegend einstimmig, doch in unterschiedlichen Klangfarben und mit charakteristischen Rhythmen unterlegt. Saint-Saëns hatte die orientalische Musik auf zahlreichen Reisen in der arabischen Welt kennen und schätzen gelernt. Die Orgelbearbeitung erschließt dieses fulminante Tanzstück für die Königin der Instrumente und zielt damit auf eine attraktive Bereicherung des konzertanten Repertoires. Der versierte Organist wird die Gelegenheit nutzen, die Klangfarben seiner Orgel zur differenzierten Entfaltung zu bringen. Die Registrierungshinweise orientieren sich an der Disposition einer typischen Orgel von Cavaillé-Coll, wie sie auch dem Maître der Kirche St. Madeleine in Paris zur Verfügung stand. (Otto Depenheuer).

Le Cygne de Saint-Saëns est un célèbre duo pour piano et violoncelle. Il fait partie d'une suite musicale pour orchestre et piano intitulée Carnaval des Animaux, grande fantaisie zoologique. Cette oeuvre est composée de quatorze mouvements écrits lors d'un voyage en Autriche en février 1886. Saint-Saëns, de son vivant, ne souhaite pas que l'oeuvre soit portée à la connaissance du public, à l'exception du Cygne. Cette pièce est illustrée par la ballerine Anna Pavlowa. Son interprétation du cygne popularise la pièce sous le nom de « la mort du cygne ». Saint-Saëns dépeint dans le Carnaval des animaux des portraits d'animaux, l'éléphant, le coucou, les kangourous et les pianistes eux-mêmes font parties de ce défilé zoologique. Ce sont des parodies musicales où l'auteur raille les compositeurs et les interprètes. Il les décrit avec un humour mordant, parfois justifié.
Selon une révélation du compositeur, le Cygne est une « noble bêtise ». Cette pièce arrangée pour un seul piano présente une mélodie chantante, langoureuse et pathétique basée sur une vaporeuse harmonie. Arabesques d'une mouvante volupté traduisent les flots tranquilles où nage gracieusement un cygne qui s'éveille jusqu'à son assoupissement.

Char les Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

The Havanaise possibly has its roots in the friendship of the composer with the Cuban-born violinist Rafael Diaz Albertini. It is thus perfectly plausible that Saint-Saens borrowed the Cuban syncopated slow dance Habanera out of kindness towards his performance partner when he was getting ready to write a work for Diaz Albertini in 1887. Saint-Saens originally wrote a version for violin and piano, which was later followed by the orchestral version that the publisher Durand had urged him to write. Diaz Albertini, to whom the work was dedicated, gave its world premiere before other virtuosos adopted it for themselves and spread its fame throughout the world. The basis of this first Urtext edition of the piece is the first edition, which was presumably personally overseen by Saint-Saens.
