Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 & Other Works – Utah Symphony & Thierry Fischer

Hyperion

Camille Saint-Saëns' well-known ‘Organ’ Symphony has a fresh and dramatic makeover in this new recording by conductor Thierry Fischer, the Utah Symphony and organ soloist Paul Jacobs. It's joined by a little-known Saint-Saëns orchestral work, ‘Trois tableaux symphoniques d'apres La Foi’. The album also features an orchestral ‘Bacchanale’ from Saint-Saëns' most famous opera, Samson et Delilah.

For a selection of new Saint-Saëns discoveries and well-loved classics, look no further than this album.

Gerald Peregrine on the cello and Antony Ingham on piano have created a delightful collection of music inspired by folksong, English folk heritage and the countryside with Folk Tales.
