The exceptional longevity of Camille Saint-Saëns, child prodigy saluted by Liszt, consenting (?) witness of Stravinskian and Debussyst revolutions has left us more than 300 manuscripts. German and Russian . . . musicologists saluted his professionalism, his pianistic writing reminding us of Beethoven, an orchestral art inspired by Liszt and Berlioz who considered him ‘the most impressive musical mechanic ever encountered’. ‘If Mr. Saint-Saëns espoused Glory she will be unfaithful with Mr. Debussy.’ Four legendary artists prove his timelessness.

For me, the Violin Concerto is the most interesting filler on this SACD - currently the only hi-res alternative. Has anyone heard this? Gilels' Saint-Saëns was my introduction to this work (RBCD, Emi Great Recordings of the Century) so I look forward to hear this DSD/bi-channel reincarnation.

Calling this hi-res seems misguided to me...Praga has all but admitted that these Columbia recordings are sourced from LPs or commercial reels. It's a darn shame that BIS only released its 2007 recording of the Saint-Saens 3rd Violin Concerto on CD, although it's 24-bit stereo on their website.
