Saint-Saens
Symphony 3 in C minor, op. 78 'Organ' |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The Organ Symphony sometimes suffers from over-familiarity (it's hard to
get 'Babe' out of your mind) but the simple, driving themes represent
the most memorable and energising of organ works.

Dutoit produced an astonishingly energetic performance from the Montreal
Symphony which avoided the ponderousness which some renditions mistake
for significance. In so doing, he tied this to Peter Hurford's
incredibly light touch on the organ, to produce the definitive rendition
of this extraordinarily powerful work.
