In Reply to: RE: Comments-Saint Saens Symphony No. 3 (Organ)-Orchestre Metropolitain du Grand Montreal (long) posted by Robert C. Lang on July 02, 2007 at 23:25:05
A few years ago I found a site on the web that had a comparision of many recorded performances of this work in great detail. There may have been as many as 20 different performances. Unfortunately I can't find the URL right now, but someone may have it. I recall the Ormandy performance was one of the ones given a good review, but it was not at the top. Of course the more recent ones wouldn't be included, but it was an interesting read.
Anyone have the URL?

I remember reading a post on this topic on the Music Forum here a couple of years ago. I just found it (below) after a search.

I see it wasn't quite as many recordings as I thought. The reviewer puts a lot of emphasis on the degree to which the performance is true to the "French idiom." I think I have some vague idea what that means in contrast to a more Germanic or Italian approach. Whether one agrees with him or not, it is an interesting read. In fact, his highly recommended- Prêtre, Martinon and Paray- are among my favorites for this piece that I enjoy listening to from time to time, but is not one of my favorites.
