Had to stretch a bit for day 16...Saint-Saens is known - TopicsExpress



          

Had to stretch a bit for day 16...Saint-Saens is known operatically primarily for Samson et Dalila (and occasionally for Henry VIII). However, this little gem is one of the best -- especially when performed by Cathy Berberian. This performance of it is not from the RCA Victor release but from a live concert (different pianist..and the introduction is different). I suspect that Berberians delivery lends a bit more comic effect than the poet originally intended..but fun it is :-) youtu.be/_59m5uoPgrA
