Symphony no. 3 in C minor, op. 78

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Marcel Dupré & Paul Paray & Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 is a symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in 1886. The work is notable for its prominent use of the pipe organ alongside the orchestra and for its broadly Romantic orchestration that synthesises classical forms with late-19th-century harmonic colour, and it represents a late-career orchestral statement in Saint-Saëns's output and within the wider symphonic repertoire.
