5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and amazing!, Jun 26 2004
By Alex Vox (Winnetka, IL) - See all my reviews
Well, as for me it is BY FAR the best CD of concert piano music that I have! The multiplication of Collard and Saint Saens brings me back to Paris. It full with traditions and crispiness. The music is so deep, sensitive and powerful, very humane very real, as a live. If you want to REDEFINE your enjoyment from music take this CD. There're few such wonderful pieces of audible human genius exist.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Insult to Saint-Saens, May 27 2004
I consider myself quite an experienced listener.

The recordings found on this disc are of average performance. The lacking value is that EMI has decided to "degrade" the recording performance, and thus the high tones are cut out.

The piano sounds as if it was recording from inside a closet, while the orchestra sounds as if it was recorded farthest from the row in a stadium.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Oct 18 2000
By Ryan Richards "reb77" (Midland, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Saint-Saens' piano music embodies all that is good about the Romantic era: long, haunting melodic lines, innovative themes and a particular gift for making the music fit together in a quasi-Classical fashion. That said, I can't say enough good things about the playing on this CD. Collard's performance is so virtuostic and effortless that the music sounds as though it's just coming out of thin air, rather than having a human laboring over it. Match this with the awesomely powerful yet extremely skilled orchestral backing from Previn and the RPO, and you have a CD that got me into Saint-Saens even though I'd heard almost nothing by him before. This CD set will make you pay attention to it. Worth every penny.
