Similar in happy mood to the third movement of Mozart’s 17th piano concerto

Thank you Maestri Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns!! This piece has enough shimmering beauty to light up my life for my next 74 years (I'm 74),

What a discovery! How come I've had to wait 56 years to hear this!

I don’t know why but I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the piano at 11:21 and at 17:25! It’s a sound I have never heard before…

First time I heard that, I was too! I was blown away at the sound. Its due to the range and balance of dynamics. It's parallel 5ths, but split an octave and a half, (so a 12th) and then LH is played much louder than the rh so it causes the ear to hear the LH line primarily and the above notes have a very "twangy" metalic sound.

17:25 I was introduced to this piece when a very wise Liszt musicologist played this part to me, and explained how Saint-Saens imitates stops on an organ. He balanced the tone very well and played it slower, and so I am not used to the sort of playing in this recording!

I love the piece, but unfortunately he did not. The intellectual undertone is just an Orientalist one that belongs to a long tradition of Anglo-French literati who actively exoticized and converted the East into the 'other.' This work is no exception, drawing on the same Orientalist tropes of effeminate sexuality and exoticism, especially in the second movement and the supposed quotation of a Nubian love song.

That is why this concerto is titled the 'Egyptian' concerto. Saint Saens was, contrary to your beliefs, being very proper with the culture.

Absolutely love the motif at 0:48. Beautiful concerto overall.

Le plus aboutit des 5 concerti pour piano. Le dernier mouvement atteint au sublime ! Bravo J Y Thibaudet .

This is my first time hearing this, and I'm sorry that this is only my first time hearing this. Simply amazing. 😍😍

Camille: Could you bring your clarinet in A as well there's a passage that I like 2nd clarinet: Boy am I finally getting an important solo 16:37 beep boop (x3) Camille: That'll be all you can switch back to your regular clarinet now. 2nd clarinet: DID I CARRY THAT DOUBLE CASE FOR THOSE 6 NOTES

I don't know why concert pianist don't play this beautiful concerto . There are few people who played But i think it is so good and interesting like the concerto no. 2 Do you agree with me??

Thank you for posting this fine, musical and exciting performance, and with the score, too. Saint-Saens is only recently starting to get the respect and exposure that he so clearly deserves. His music is superb, in all genres. I remember buying the one and only recording available [vinyl]- that of Jeanne Marie Darre in ca. 1960- it had to be specially ordered and cost $25 -allot at the time. Wonderful that his works are finally getting a wider hearing. thanks

What a masterpiece ! This gives me goosebumps from beginning until end

My great admiration to Saint -Saens for this wonder but rather unknown work. I admire that he could write the first 40 or so measures in a very, very tonal fashion. He doesn't feel the obligation to start out with notes outside the scale. He does, of course, change keys and use other harmonies later on.

Simply beautiful 💕

Prokofiev's 2nd Concerto, Respighi's Toccata, Skrjabin's Concerto in F sharp minor and now Saint-Saëns' 5th Concerto are my favourite pieces for piano and orchestra EVER!!!Thank you for making me discover this masterpiece.

A wonderful, musical performance [a little fast for me, I prefer the slightly slower, nuanced recordings of Collard/Previn, Roge/Dutoit or Malikova/Sanderling] and the performers, are both extremely gifted and totally involved. This performance points up how important the orchestra is in all of Saint-Saens' concerti- how the piano and orchestra lines are woven together. Both Nelson and Thibaudet are obviously enjoying themselves and delighting in the playing of this beautiful, colorful work. Saint-Saens is a great master- and so much of his music is not played often enough, at least in the US. thank you for posting this!

why compare a live performance to studio performances? Thibaudet is an amazingly gifted pianist, effortless, affluent, brilliant. I would want to hear the pianists you mention (Roge I uploaded the other concertos) playing this live. At that level it becomes quite pointless to compare.

Oh Camille, you sneaky bastard! I was sure I knew that tune from somewhere at 21:08. Turns out it's exact copy of your Etude op. 111 no 6 (which I also get to know from one of Bartje videos).

What an incredible and invaluable resource for musicians and music students. We would have killed to have the great compositions of the great composers at our fingertips with such convenience when I was in conservatory in the 90's. Back then you had to check it out of the score library and take it over to the listening library---assuming they had the piece you were interested in and/or it wasn't checked out already... I mean, sure, that doesn't sound *too* difficult; but such a hassle, comparatively speaking. Anyway, thank you SO MUCH for posting!

i think its a combination of the difference in dynamics (right being pp and left being mf) and the difference in ranges that gives it an almost harmonic/overtone sound. Happens around 11:22 as well.

Because he manipulates the harmonics (3 and 5) of the left-hand notes. that causes a change of Timbre, making a virtual instrument. I don't know, if he is the first composer doing it. in 20th century it was a common technique, mostly by French Composers. for example, Ravel does it in Bolero. the Spectral composers like G.Grisey took that as the main composing technique.

この作品は相当腕に自信がないとレパートリーにも出来ない難しい作品。
