"Organ" Symphony no. 3

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Leonard Raver & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

The Organ Symphony (Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78) is the third symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, completed in 1886. Musically it blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with prominent organ passages and cyclic thematic links across movements, featuring expansive orchestration and symphonic continuity that marked a culminating large-scale work in Saint-Saëns's career and an influential example of French Romantic symphonic writing.
First released: 1988
