In the words of Cobbett, " All his accumulated experience is compressed within its pages.’ Few musicians of the nineteenth century ranged over a wider fleld than Saint-Saens, and in his chamber music he combines to perfection the classical sense with the spirit of poetry. This Trio goes to prove that SaintSaens was a master worthy of the distinguished position he occupied. 9. 0 Weather report and station notices
