Jun MarklAbout
Saint-Saëns only wrote four original works for military band, and he is of course far more renowned today for popular orchestral hits such as the Danse macabre and the Third (‘Organ’) Symphony. This release is a scintillating exploration of Saint-Saëns’s music, putting famous classics such as The Carnival of the Animals next to less frequently heard marches and dances, all attired with fresh and invigorating new sounds.
Jun Märkl has led numerous desirable recordings, becoming well known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of French music. His Saint-Saëns recordings for Naxos include the ballet Ascanio (8574033), which is played with ‘great panache and spirit, [and is] all hugely enjoyable’ (Gramophone).
MusicWeb International admired the ‘elegant music making’ in Märkl’s recording of the Symphonic Poems (8573745), and further orchestral works including the Suite algérienne (8573732) had AllMusic.com concluding that he ‘and the Basque National Orchestra are ideal interpreters of Saint-Saëns.’
