Samson et Dalila by
Camille Saint-Saëns(
)
279 editions published between 1936 and 2017 in 9 languages and held by 2,792 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This Biblical tale of the overwhelming love between a Jewish leader (Samson) and a Philistine beauty (Dalila) that turns sour and destroys them both has inspired numerous composers. But it's easy to see why Saint-Saëns's opera has remained a favorite--not only with audiences but also with great singing actors. Seldom has Dalila been so sultry and seductive, or Samson's fall from strong man to blind prisoner been so wrenching. With enticing Risë Stevens and heroic Mario Del Monaco in the titles roles, and Martial Singher as the High Priest, this stunning performance is a true gem

Le carnaval des animaux : grande fantaisie zoologique : pour 2 pianos, 2 violons, alto, violoncelle, contra-basse, flute,
clarinette, harmonica & xylophone by
Camille Saint-Saëns(
)
375 editions published between 1800 and 2018 in 8 languages and held by 2,362 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Dedicated to the autograph manuscript of Camille Saint-Saëns' famous Carnival of the Animals (1835-1921), this volume sheds a distinctive light on the musician’s personality. Completed in February 1886, The Carnival of the Animals was created for friends and performers close to Saint-Saëns and was performed about fifteen times between 1886 and 1894 to a small audience. Because Camille Saint-Saëns feared that his "zoological fantasy" would damage his reputation, the work was published in its entirety only after his death. Since then, its immense popularity has continued to grow, so much so that it is now enjoyed by music lovers and the general public alike. Presented by Marie-Gabrielle Soret, a specialist of Camille Saint-Saëns, who provides a detailed description of the work and the context of its creation, the facsimile includes the fourteen pieces of The Carnival of the Animals. It reveals the composer’s handwriting, all the performance directions as he noted them, but also to the playful animal drawings with which he decorated his score – a fish for "Aquarium", the skeleton of a dinosaur for "Fossiles", the pale blue pencil silhouette of a swan to illustrate the famous "Swan"
