Camille Saint-Saëns was born OTD in 1835. The Carnival of the Animals features in our top ten playlist, of course, but there's so much more music to celebrate... including the first original score for a silent film!

“…more akin to the contemporary gilded canvases of Klimt in a deliquescence of musical gesture, as notes inexorably [dissolve into] silence.”

I love reading reviews that feel as inspired – and as inspirational – as the performance itself! 💕
