I keep a personal list of my most favorite piano concertos. At the top of the list are all 5 of Saint-Saens' piano concertos. In that I am not saying that they are better than say Rachmaninoff's 2nd, or other great works. I am saying that they don't get any better than those 5 concertos, though just as good. I just added this work to that list, though formally it is not a concerto. It has all the intensity that I look for in such works.
" très juste, très juste," cher Doug Bower, ... = you are right! I discovered Saint-Saens 3rd piano concerto, while living in... Cleveland OHIO, in 1976-78: and Saint-Saens has been ONE of my favourite composers from then... on... + his "Fantaisie Africaine" reflects soooo much, so well of that "esprit de l'Afrique du Nord, ses odeurs, épices, marchés, couleurs, dimensions, esprit, idées: all this, is jzst "fantastico... + incroyable... = Saint-Saens is a composer, one never can stop listening, also with diverse versions of same works... = bring sun in a grey, snowy, rainy.. day...! enjoy, notre ami Français..!
Of course, in this relatively short fantasia for piano and orchestra, we must have evocations of North Africa But we must recognize that they do not invade the score, Saint-Saens remains faithful to his policy of reserve in his style.
Magnifique, quel régal ❣️🎶💓🎶✨

蜜蜂と遠雷 風間塵 プログラムで、どんな曲なのか知りたくなりました。なるほど、雄大。キリマンジェロの麓、ビクトリア湖の畔を飛ぶフラミンゴの群れが目に浮かんできます。
