Symphony No. 3 "Organ Symphony" / Carnival of the Animals

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns

Symphony No. 3 "Organ Symphony" and Carnival of the Animals are orchestral works by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, both composed in 1886. The Organ Symphony juxtaposes grand Romantic symphonic writing with prominent organ and brass textures to expand orchestral colour, while Carnival of the Animals is a suite of succinct, pictorial character pieces employing chamber-like textures and musical caricature, together illustrating Saint-Saëns's late-period versatility within 19th-century French music.
