About

Camille Saint-Saëns playing his own music and that of Beethoven, Schumann and Chopin, recorded in 1905 on the Welte-Mignon Piano. Anyone searching for really unusual repertoire will find what they are looking for in Tacets Welte-Mignon Mystery series. On this release we hear Camille Saint-Saens playing his own compositions. It is documented that Saint-Saens was the only pianist whom Franz Liszt would listen to… other than himself!
