As Ms. CfL (not a fan of Saint-Saens) says to me when. . .

Posted by Chris from Lafayette on February 16, 2021 at 11:05:40:
. . . I remind her that Saint-Saens wrote that he "put everything he had" into this symphony, "Well he didn't have very much then!". ;-)

Strangely enough though, she does like a few pieces by Saint-Saens, including his Etudes (except for the famous "Etude in the form of a Waltz" - too much salon fluff for her!) and his Septet (the one with the part for trumpet).

Regarding Ormandy in the Organ Symphony, I'm about to order the Dutton SACD remaster of his RCA recording. It was originally recorded in quad, and the Dutton remaster preserves the discrete quad engineering. Unfortunately, RCA's engineering at that time (the mid 70's or so) was not very good IMHO, but we'll see if the quad incarnation improves things at all.
