5.0 out of 5 stars Saint Saens Better Known Piano Concertos, May 23, 2000

This review is from: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 4 in Full Score (Paperback)

I thought that this book was excellent. I found that the edition was very much as Saint Saens intended and I beleive that it was enlightening and informative. The staves were easy to read and the piano part especially was clear. As far as the actual music goes, it is devine. Saint Saens is a personal favorite and owning this score has been a delight. I recommend this book to any appreciator of music and most definately any pianist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible scores, January 14, 2002

This review is from: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 4 in Full Score (Paperback)

I found that the edition of these two masterpieces of the piano concerto literature absolutely indispensible. Saint-Saens was such a master, and his subtle, elegant and powerful writing for piano and the orchestra leaps off the printed score. We need to have the other piano concerti (1, 3 and 5) printed with the same care, and all of his other concerti, particuarly those for cello and violin needs to be treated with the same consideration. An excellent publication that every music lover should have!
