About "Saint-Saëns: Danse macabre, Op. 40, R. 171" by Luben Yordanoff
Yordanoff's violin rises like a skeleton at midnight, bones clicking in waltz time. Saint-Saëns paints death as a grinning fiddler, the orchestra a graveyard chorus. The tension: festive terror, a danse macabre where the calm of the grave meets the thrill of the spin.
