SAENS  SAINT CAMILLE

  1835 - 1921

 

* DECEMBER 16
Death of CAMILLE(Charles)SAINT-SAENS 1921 in Algiers
French composer. His father died a few weeks after his birth and he was brought up by his mother and his grandmother. He began to learn the piano at the age of three and, after lessons with Camille Stamaty, gave a concert at the Salle Pleyel when he was ten, the programme including Mozart's B concerto K450 and Beethoven's Third Concerto.
He also took lessons in composition and organ playing.

By the time he was 30 Saint-Saens had written four of his five symphonies, two of his violin concertos, and his First Piano Concerto (1858) which was the earliest attempt in the medium by a French composer. He had also written chamber music, including the delightful Piano Trio in F (1863), and over 30 songs, and Berlioz in a letter of 1864 called him already 'truly great artist.'
A failure that Saint-Saens regretted far more deeply was that of his operas. 'Samson et Dalila' has entered the repertory,but after a low start. He was known for his quick wit and intemperate opinions, and certainly he grew crustiewith age. He married in 1875, but after the death of his two young sons,for which he blamed his wife's carelessness, he left her and never married again. His character,like his piano playing, was often felt to be brilliant
but cold. But even a casual hearing of 'Samson et Dalila' or of the Fourth Piano Concerto reveals that passion and imagination were not lacking.
