An astute assessment, I must say. Having listed to this work for the first time just now, I cannot agree more. However, I'm willing to be more charitable than you to the 20 year old Saint-Saëns, a young man rich with ambition, though clearly wanting of maturity (on the other hand, Mendelssohn composed his Octet at sixteen, a work with far more to say than this).
@@sorabji1 although the Octet of Mendelssohn's we hear performed is NOT the version he wrote at 16 - but a substantially revised version made when he was much older...
@@schubertuk Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, though it certainly sounds right. Indeed, there are many such "genius" early works by composers that were much less compelling in their original iteration(s). You can't rush maturity!
@violamateo A fair comparison. I definitely agree with your regarding Saint-Saëns, only partly so regarding Mendelssohn's oeuvre. What could have been if only Mendelssohn had lived as many years as Saint-Saëns...
@@e.hutchence-composer8203 Maybe you meant you were joking that you were deeply offended (the point of which I don't understand). Theoretically anyone could be offended, so I put no offence there just in case. And finally, why, Baroque Oboema, did you heart that deeply offended comment?

Œuvre inédite jamais entendue et pourtant recherchée du grand maître. Très accessible et mélodieuse ici magnifiquement restituée ici ! Merci UA-cam.
Anybody that says he lacked experience was a hater!
Berlioz said that he lacked 'inexperience'.
Très belle version. Merci infiniment. ❤
Wonderful 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎻🎻🎻🎻💐
Berlioz said this about Saint-Saens: He has a lot of knowledge but lacks "inexperience"

Sounds like real tango
LOVE IT♡︎♡︎♡︎
Molto bello, peccato per l'intonazione dei due violini che sono stonati quando sono in unisono o in ottava
So expertly written without a meaningful word to say. A damn shame from a remarkable composer.

Exactly so...😀
All movements: (start with low register notes)
The rest of the human hearing spectrum: Am I a joke to you?
(no offence).
Im deeply offended!...
@@e.hutchence-composer8203 How come (please explain)? I of course didn't refer to more than the beginnings of each movement.
@@gamingmusicandjokesandabit1240 I'm on offended, it was a joke. No one could possibly be offended by your first comment.

@@gamingmusicandjokesandabit1240 I mean, I don't think anyone would be offended by pointing out the first notes in each movement
