The centenary of the death of Saint-Saens has inspired French violinist Genevieve Laurenceau to create a programme of contrasts for her many-faceted instrument, which in her hands becomes both intimate and virtuosic, chamber music and concertante all in one. This Saint-Saens memorial year is an invitation to the more adventurous spirits to explore some of his less familiar works. Among them is French violinist Genevieve Laurenceau, who has devised this album with herself as soloist as an extended poem of varied stanzas profiling 'a rather different Saint-Saens, whose warm and luminous elegance of style gives the instruments a singing voice – singing not only with virtuosity but with a profound sense of humanity'.
