From youthful jeux d'esprit to late, late masterworks: Saint-Saens' chamber music with winds is well-worth exploring

The opening movement features a lovely singing bassoon line over some intriguing harmonic colours in the flowing piano, whilst the scherzo has pure devilish dash to it (not unsurprising from the composer of Danse Macabre). The slow movement begins with a simple singing bassoon over discreet piano, but develops into something more complex and the finale is short, robust and delightfully perky. The two extra items feature superb cornet and bugle playing from Eric Aubier (accompanied by Pascal Gallet), showing Saint-Saens at his imaginative best when writing for an unusual instrument.

Rather than becoming a poster image for the Nazi regime, Hindemith's music was sidelined and the composer eventually went into exile. It is from this period that his series of sonatas for wind and brass instruments dates, from the Flute Sonata of 1936 to the Tuba Sonata of 1955. On this […]
