Camille Saint-Saëns, born in Paris in 1835, was a multifaceted French composer, organist, conductor, and pianist whose career spanned the Romantic era. Often hailed as one of France's greatest composers, Saint-Saëns' musical prowess was evident from a young age, earning him comparisons to Mozart. His extensive repertoire includes iconic works such as "Danse Macabre," the opera "Samson and Delilah," and the enchanting "The Carnival of the Animals," which features the beloved "The Swan." Saint-Saëns' compositions are celebrated for their technical brilliance and emotional depth, reflecting his eclectic influences and nationalistic tendencies. Beyond music, Saint-Saëns was also deeply interested in botany, geology, astronomy, and the arts, making him a true polymath. His legacy endures through his timeless compositions, which continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
