Under the virtuosic fingers of Lang Lang, Gina Alice, Andris Nelsons, and the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig, every piece, whether it's Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, his Piano Concerto No. 2, or solo and chamber works by other French composers such as Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Franck, Chausson, and Boulanger, is reborn with a fresh interpretation and captivating coloration that has captivated audiences worldwide.
In its debut week, Lang Lang: Saint-Saëns soared to the top of the Billboard Traditional Classical Albums chart in the United States; it also claimed the number one spot on the Official Charts for Classical Artist Albums in the UK, holding the position for six consecutive weeks.

In an interview, Lang Lang shared his thoughts: “I’ve always wanted to create a French-themed album, and with Lang Lang: Saint-Saëns, I have brought together a diverse array of French compositions, expanding the stylistic range of French music. With a rich emotional palette and innovative interpretations, we present these works anew. Saint-Saëns, in particular, is like a kaleidoscope, offering a myriad of colors and worlds for the listener to discover.”
