The Gramophone 'Record of the Year' winning team of Stephen Hough and the CBSO are joined by the principle conductor Sakari Oramo in this benchmark recording of Saint-Saens' complete concertos.
Forming part of Hyperion's iconic 'Romantic Piano Concerto' series, these performances combine all the elegance required for the Frenchman's music with the utmost bravura. Saint-Saens himself was a formidable pianist and his rare 1904 (!) 78rpm recording of Africa has until now been matchless; finally in Stephen Hough's performance he has a rival.
Now available on a 3LP set for the first time.
