Now, no-one could argue that there are too many recordings of the orchestral suites of Saint-Saëns! All the more reason, then, to welcome this new album from the Basque National Orchestra (Euskadiko Orkestra Sinfonikoa, in Basque), which as well as the Suite algérienne Op. 60 of 1879-1880, the Suite in D major Op. 49 written for harmonium in 1863, orchestrated by the composer in 1877, offers us the Suite in D minor Op. 16b, first written in 1863 for cello and piano and then orchestrated, by the master himself, in 1919 – and augmented with two additional movements. The Suite algérienne is mainly Algerian in name - consider that the fourth and final movement is a "French military march", hurrah for Empire - while the exotic accents seem to roam around, from Bohemia to Moorish Spain, with only very sporadic jaunts to North Africa, a part of the world that the composer did know well, but perhaps not so much musically as... well. In Suite Op. 49, the discreet instrumentation and the language which has been deliberately borrowed from baroque serve to underline the first composition for harmonium. Finally, the Suite Op. 15b is a kind of concerto-fantasia for cello, and here the Spanish cellist Guillermo Pastrana officiates with panache. Here again, Bach is never far away, even in these delightful romantic tones, which would not have disgraced Lalo! © SM/Qobuz
