Experience Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 3 “Organ” as never before - a breathtaking performance by the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal led by multi-Grammy Award winner Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin, music director of the New York City’s Metropolitan Opera, the Philadelphia Orchestra, principal conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Principal Guest conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and more.
Recorded in the luminous acoustics of Montréal’s Saint-Joseph Oratory, the music’s grandeur, from the deep resonance of the organ to the glowing orchestral textures, is captured with precision - every detail alive, every emotion palpable. A recording where power meets the purity of the 2xHD fusion format.
The Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, was completed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1886 at the peak of his artistic career. It is popularly known as the Organ Symphony, since, unusually for a late-Romantic symphony, two of the four movements use the pipe organ. The composer inscribed it as: Symphonie No. 3 "avec orgue".
