In Reply to: RE: Extended critique of recordings of Saint Saens Symphony No. 3. posted by jsm on July 10, 2007 at 13:34:51
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.
