Lang Lang - Saint-Saens - LP

2LP

Lang Lang presents a treasure trove of musical discoveries built around Saint-Saëns. The pianist pairs the composer's Piano Concerto No. 2 — recorded with the Gewandhausorchester under Andris Nelsons — with the beloved Carnival of the Animals and a selection of French miniatures, in a romantic program he ranks alongside the greats.
