Paul Tortelier was many things at once: a genius performer, a great pedagogue, a popular and media-savvy figure in classical music... and a loving father! Many of his recordings were made alongside his son, violinist Yan Pascal, and his daughter, pianist Maria de la Pau. We find them here in this album dedicated to Saint-Saëns, in both chamber and orchestral settings.
