Saint-saëns: Le Déluge

Figuralchor der Gedächtniskirche Stuttgart, Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen a.o.

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)
Le Déluge Op.45 / Danse Bacchanal / Orient et Occident

Today Camille SaintSaëns is classified as a conservative classicist by many people. By his contemporaries he was considered as a musical revolutionary who demanded "dreams of the future" his audience. His oratorio Le Déluge courted the pope's resentment; he criticized it as too secular.
It certainly is a significant contribution to the French Oratorio, whose composer is finally rediscovered as one of the great personalities in the history of music.
