Saint-Saë ns, (Charles) Camille
- Saint-Saë ns, (Charles) Camille
(9 oct. 1835, París, Francia–16 dic. 1921, Argel).
Compositor francés. Dotado de habilidades asombrosas desde su niñez, con una memoria fenomenal (en su debut como pianista a la edad de 11 años ofreció tocar cualquier sonata de Beethoven sin partitura), se hizo muy querido en los salones y se convirtió en un improvisador célebre. En 1871, para promover la nueva música de los compositores franceses, fundó la Société Nationale de Musique. Sus composiciones son a menudo brillantes en sus efectos, pero no siempre profundas. De sus 13 óperas,
Samson et Dalila (1877) fue la más exitosa. Compuso conciertos para piano, violonchelo y violín, además de tres sinfonías (entre ellas la
Sinfonía "con órgano, 1886). Su poema sinfónico
Danse macabre (
1874) y la suite
El carnaval de los animales (
1886) son obras ampliamente conocidas.
