Camille Saint-Saens had one of the longest careers in musical history, but his music is often overlooked. On the publication of a new biography, Sean Rafferty explores the life and work of this neglected composer. Music tonight includes Monteverdi's Lamenta della Ninfa and a performance of the Glazunov Violin
Concerto by Maxim Vengerov with the Berlin PO, conductor Claudio Abbado.
