RE: Stern's Saint Saens Organ Symphony on Reference Recordings: best final pages ever, if you're still awake by that poi

Many years ago, a poster here presented an amazingly comprehensive review of the commercial recordings of this symphony. This included an elaborate series of rankings depending on the criteria used. I remember he found the best overall to be that of Pretre and the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra on EMI, with organist Maurice Durufle, from 1964. I'm not usually a fan of classical music, recording, performer or composer rankings, but there's no denying this guy did a fine job. As do Pretre et al. on EMI.
