The year 2021 marks the centenary of the death of Camille Saint-Saëns, a leading composer of French music. Whereas one knows his symphonies, his two string quartets are much more rarely played.
Freeing himself from traditional forms, it is a whole musical world that the composer delivers to us in each of these quartets. The composition is sometimes impressionistic, dreamy, and  passionate, and other times modern.
