 The Royal Philharmonic Society in the United Kingdom commissioned the Organ Symphony, and Saint-Saens traveled across the Channel to conduct its debut in the ancient St. James's Hall.[([[https://www.theguardian.com/music/tomserviceblog/2014/feb/25/symphony-guide-saint-saens-organ-tom-service|The Guardian]])] The Royal Philharmonic Society in the United Kingdom commissioned the Organ Symphony, and Saint-Saens traveled across the Channel to conduct its debut in the ancient St. James's Hall.[([[https://www.theguardian.com/music/tomserviceblog/2014/feb/25/symphony-guide-saint-saens-organ-tom-service|The Guardian]])]

 +===== Film Music =====
 +
 +'The Assassination of the Duke of Guise,' an 18-minute-long motion picture, was created by a team that also pushed well-known stage performers to appear in their films in order to get recognition. Later, Saint-Saens expanded his piece into a concert work, Opus 128 for strings, piano, and harmonium.[([[https://encyclopaediaoftrivia.blogspot.com/2018/03/soundtrack.html|encyclopaediaoftrivia]])]
 +
 +===== Saint-Saëns vs. Debussy =====
 +
 +Saint-Saens did not get along with all of his peers. There was special hostility toward Claude Debussy, who famously said, "I have a detest of sentimentality and cannot forget that its name is Saint- Saens". [([[https://www.londonfirebird.com/2017/09/25/vive-la-france/|londonfirebird]])]
 +
 +===== Organist, Pianist And Recording Artist =====
 +
 +Saint-Saens was claimed to be "unrivaled on the organ" and "almost unrivaled on the piano." His performing manner, on the other hand, has been described as'restrained, delicate, and calm.' He was one of the first pianists to explore with records, and he was the first-born musician to create a recording of his own work.[([[https://telemetr.io/en/channels/1208096829-lunedeswan/posts|telemetrio]])]
 +
 +===== Wagner =====
 +
 +Although Saint-Saens was an early supporter of Wagner, he frequently harshly criticized the composer's music. Saint-Saens even lost contracts and received poor reviews in Germany at one time as a result of some especially severe statements he made regarding Wagner.[([[https://www.gramophone.co.uk/features/article/saint-saens-pioneer-and-paradox-rethinking-the-composer-a-century-on|Gramophone]])]
 +
 +===== Prolific =====
 +
 +After writing his first symphony at 16 he went on to write four more, along with five piano concertos, three violin concertos, two cello concertos and some 20 concertante works for soloists and orchestra.[([[https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Camille_Saint-Saens|newworldencyclopedia]])]
