- Saint-Saëns: Organ Symphony SACD
Like most documents of “occasions”, you have to take the good with the bad. I need to stress that as usual the orchestra plays fabulously, and both the Barber and Poulenc are pretty terrific. But by the same token the main item is the symphony, and Eschenbach is simply out of his element here.

A) Saint-Saëns is totally underrated around here. While I am generally a modernist (especially relative to this sub), I have a soft spot for C S-S as I feel like, as "conservative" as he was, he wrote what he wrote extremely well and yet he never gets the love from the "Chopinrocks!" or "RachmaninRoll!"
Nov 9, 2021 · For a new kind of symphony, Saint-Saëns needed a new orchestra, which he achieved with the introduction of organ, piano and the Lisztian triangle. While he waxed hot and cold over Wagner in print, the lush harmonies of the symphony's Adagio would be unimaginable without the recent example of Parsifal's Good Friday Meadows.
The only drawback, and this almost always is the case in the Saint-Saëns Third, is the organ, which, though refreshingly recorded in the same space and time as the orchestra, sounds bright and over-reverberant, oddly lacking sufficient bass.
