Summary:

Two of Saint-Saens' most popular works appear in this affordable volume. First composed in song form, "Danse Macabre" was later rewritten as a symphonic poem. Audiences at its 1875 debut were resistant to its unconventional charms, but it eventually became a tremendous crowd pleaser. "Havanaise" is among the most challenging violin and orchestra pieces and a standard showpiece in the repertoire of every serious violinist. Based on the Cuban dance, Habanera, the 1887 work features a languid mood, highlighted by bursts of virtuosity.
