Steven Isserlis cello
Connie Shih piano

The cellist has championed many composers over his illustrious career, notably the multi-talented Camille Saint-Saëns, the centenary of whose death at the age of 86 is commemorated in a programme in which his works are complemented by those of his friends and associates, presenting a picture of musical France during his extended lifetime.
