The composer, virtuoso pianist, organist, critic and essayist Camille Saint-Saëns lived long enough to become a unique witness to an era of revolutionary changes in music. Recognised as a child prodigy by Gioacchino Rossini and Hector Berlioz, in his late years the author of Danse macabre had a chance to become acquainted with the early works of New Music. Atonality did not fire him with enthusiasm, which comes as no surprise, considering the fact that even Claude Debussy’s musical poetics proved quite alien to his tastes (Debussy felt the same about Saint-Saëns’ style). Extolled by Franz Liszt and the late Romantics, he was mostly dismissed by the modernists as eclectic and conservative. The appraisal was, however, far from unequivocal. From among eminent 20 th -century composers, both his pupil Gabriel Fauré and Fauré’s pupil Maurice Ravel admired Saint-Saëns, thus mapping out the lineage of the French Neoclassicism.
