史帝芬.賀夫 鋼琴

薩卡利.歐拉莫 指揮

伯明罕市立交響樂團

When first issued in 2001, this set from Stephen Hough and the CBSO promptly garnered for these artists a second Gramophone Recording of the Year Award, for these are performances which combine all the elegance required for the Frenchman's music with the utmost bravura. Saint-Saens himself was a formidable pianist and his rare 1904 (!) 78-rpm recording of Africa has until now been matchless; finally in Stephen Hough's performance he has a rival.
