Symphonic Poems
Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Sinfonieorchester Basel & Ivor Bolton
Symphonic Poems are a set of orchestral works by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in the 1870s. They employ Romantic-era harmonic language and orchestration with vivid, programme-inspired gestures and colourful instrumental textures, and they mark Saint-Saëns's engagement with the symphonic poem genre within his broader nineteenth-century orchestral output.
