In Reply to: RE: Second attempt for this post (I sent it into the internet ether yesterday) Saint-Saens Organ Symphony posted by Chris from Lafayette on February 14, 2021 at 21:27:57
I guess I will have to have a listen to the Yamada/OSR recording. You have piqued my interest in to how a performance could surpass the Munch/BSO in terms of lush strings and lyricism.
Another great performance and fantastic recording (Reference Recordings) is this one. I have the LP version from the initial release.
Enjoy the music.
Follow Ups:
IMHO Stern is a bit too fussy elsewhere, and in exquisite second half of the 1st mov't there's too much attention paid to subsidiary themes.
My favorite for orchestral performance and conducting alone, is Toscanini's. : ) NOT happy with grandma's living room organ though!
Thanks for that! As newcomers to KC, we've only been to two performances in the spectacular symphony hall--- but we're enthusiastically awaiting the post-Covid world to regularly attend.
I should listen to it again - I liked it! I just pulled it off the shelf and I note that the MCh "disposition" is shown as 5.1 on the back cover, which is unusual for SACD - and something I'd forgotten about this recording. (Most are 5.0.)I've also now included Stern and a few others in my chart - there seems to be pretty general agreement about the various tempos, but it's interesting to see who the outliers are: Paray and Toscanini in the Scherzo, Karajan in the slow movement - and Jansons (replacing Pretre) in the finale. . .
