Saint-Saens Symphonies ans Piano Concertos

[JRJoseph]

 :Many of us write about underrated composers.  I believe Saint-Saens is such a guy.  Everybody knows the Organ symphony No, 3 but he actually wrote five symphonies, two without numbers, the first at age 15.  They are not great but make for pleasant listening.  His piano concerto No. 2 seems to be the favorite (Arthur Rubinstein played it many times) but all of them are quite attractive and quite listenable.  I realize Saint-Saens is only known for Carnival of the Animals and possibly Dance Macabre but I think he deserves better than this.

Go to the Composer Discussion page, and in the top right corner, do a search on a composer's name, and you "should" get any thread with the name as a topic within the Composer group/forum.
