Saint-Saens's Symphony in F major "Urbs Roma" was his prize-winning entry to a competition organized by the Bordeaux Societe Ste Cecile, but the work remained unpublished in the composer's lifetime. This early work is notable for a masterly final movement which, unusually, comprises a theme and variations. The symphonic poem La Jeunesse d'Hercule is a portrayal of the conflict between pleasure and duty, while the Danse macabre is amongst his most popular orchestral works. The first two volumes of this complete edition of Saint-Saens's symphonies can be heard on Naxos 8.573138 and 8.573139.
