Jedna z nejreprezentativnějších dostupných edic děl francouzského skladatele Camilla Saint- Saënse (1835 - 1921) mapuje na 34 kompaktních discích to nejpodstatnější a nejlepší z jeho obsáhlé tvorby. To vše v podání špičkových sólistů, instrumentalistů, orchestrů a dirigentů, z nichž řada pochází přímo z Francie nebo je svou hudební dráhou s Francií spojená. Kolekce je navíc do jisté míry i antologií dějin nahrávacího průmyslu,protože použité nahrávky vznikly v úctyhodném rozmezí více než 100 let a nejstarší z nich z roku 1904 zachycuje dokonce samotného skladatele.
