About This Song
About "Saint-Saëns: Caprice sur des airs danois et russes, Op. 79" by Catherine Cantin
Saint-Saëns stitches Danish and Russian folk airs into a glittering caprice. Cantin’s flute dances through the borrowed melodies with elegant irony, each variation a new mask—charming on the surface, yet hinting at something restless beneath the poised, virtuosic smile.
