Info for Saint-Saëns & Tchaikovsky

Stéphane Tétreault, 19 years old, was the First Prize winner in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Standard Life-OSM 2007 Competition as well as various others. Accompanied by the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec, he performs Saint-Saens’ Concerto No. 1, Tchaikovsky’s Roccoco Variations coupled with Saint-Saens’ Allegro Passionato and The Swan (from Carnival of the Animals) plus Tchaikovsky’s Pezzo Capriccioso op. 62.

"From the very first bars of Saint-Saens's First Cello Concerto you sense that this disc is going to be exhilarating and rewarding. The performers launch the concerto with terrific passion and positive intent, and thereafter call into play a discriminating, captivating spectrum of interpretative sensibility. The solo playing is astonishingly mature...it comes as a shock to realise that Stéphane Tétreault is 19 years old. His is a name to watch." (Gramophone Magazine)
