Music depicting Muses and Sirens by Saint-Saëns, Berlioz & Lili Boulanger from Kuhmo

Music depicting Muses and Sirens by Saint-Saëns, Berlioz and Lili Boulanger performed at the 49th Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Eastern Finland. Presented by Sarah Walker

Music depicting Muses and Sirens performed at the 49th Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Eastern Finland, presented by Sarah Walker, including Saint-Saëns's 'La Muse et le poète', which the composer referred to as a conversation between the two instruments instead of a debate between two virtuosos. Its improvisational structure is a deliberate strike against some German composers whose insistence on rigid form was, he felt, destroying music’s soul.
